Live Performance by Pink Painful
 
Post-punk/shoegaze duo Pink Painful meld a bit of New Order and The Cocteau Twins with touches of and Motorhead to create their slowdance sound. Monica Velasquez (Rexxy) and Ian Peksa (ex-Goodnight Darlings, Small Devices) blend bass with soaring, reverb-drenched vocals, meshed together with driving drums. Pink Painful calls Brooklyn their home, and they drove out to WFMU for a live performance.

Irene - saw Olivia Chaney this past Saturday, so so so good. Thanks for bringing her to my attention.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:18pm

Toyah.
- i have nothing against her. she seems like a good person; it's just that i think her music is just standard pop...nothing groundbreaking,like that of Robert Fripp.
( i know nothing of her acting career.)

Irene Trudel:

Hi again everybody! Just cleaning up from the live performance so I'm way behind in comments. Julie, we missed you in studio but glad you tuned in. Yeah, a bit more shoe-gazy/dance-y than usual. But I gotta shake things up every so often. Polyus, glad you got to see Olivia! sorry I couldn't make the shows myself. She's a treasure! And Van, no surprise about the KT DVD. They're probably laboring over every edit. It'll be worth the wait. Thanks also Wilson, Ken, Marianna, Coelacanth, gongoleer, Matt, Revolution Rabbit, Jake, jon, Tommy, adrian-- who am I forgetting?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

This must be early New Order, rhythm similar to "Blue Monday".
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27pm
Irene Trudel:

Matt, not sure what album it's from. I just grabbed a quick tune from an undisclosed source.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:29pm
Matt from Springfield:

From the album "Low-Life", released May 85. Bit later than I thought, but that seems to have some great songs on it: "Love Vigilantes" (original recording!), "Shellshock" on the deluxe edition.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:38pm
Matt from Springfield:

No prob Irene!
It was also released as a single, so album info might not have come up automagically.

"German/British avant-pop group Slapp Happy, recorded in Wümme, Germany in 1973 with Faust as their backing band."

This is nice! As long as we're playing the "reminds of" game, this song has pleasant echoes of Donovan and Vashti to it.

Van, I do not, unless they run a live session from WNYC's Soundcheck. Some of those I engineered in the past ended up there. I personally don't care for the sound of those Tiny Desk Concerts. I have heard a few were some of the instruments are under-mic'd for my tastes. But they are entertaining to watch.
