Who are The Modern Weepers? Good question.
BrooklynVegan posted an interesting post earlier today about a mysterious new band named The Modern Weepers that is playing The Mercury Lounge on May 27th.
Here’s a message that Mercury Lounge has posted about the band:
“The Modern Weepers are a three piece band from Manchester, England. Well traveled and well known in their native England, The Modern Weepers continue to thrill audiences and critics alike with their electronic melodies and classic Mope Rock lyrics. Led by Mancunian frontman Gary Dibble and co frontman “Hugh,” they are backed up by the American Chet Skinship on keyboards. Since Gary’s recent release from Her Majesty’s Prison in Wormwood Scrubs for political protests (Miners strike) and “Hugh’s” “acquittal” on morals charges, the Modern Weepers will begin their 10 city USA tour on Friday, May 27th at New York City’s prestigious Mercury Lounge.”
Speculation on BrooklynVegan has already caused tickets to sell out already. Did you get your ticket. Who do you think it is? Is it a big band hidden under a fake name, or is it just a new act that has some incredible marketing backing them?
Your guess is as good as mine.
