The Presets

Watch out, 'cause it's about to get sexy. The Presets are bringing a new layer of filth to the Triple Rock's bathroom stalls Thursday with their ultra-sleazy brand of synth-rock. We're talking songs about cunnilingus and lyrics like "You little cutie/Yeah you want to blow." But these Aussies are more than foul-mouthed scumbags. Their finely tuned electro breathes new life into a tired genre. Between yelping, bleating, and out-and-out bellowing, vocalist Julian Hamilton has a commanding presence. Add in the throbbing, cascading keyboards, and the Presets become a powerhouse. Sure, the music isn't going to make you any smarter, but you'll look good dancing to it. Wear something tight. With Walter Meego. 21+.
