Screaming Females made their first television appearance on MTV's latest variety show, It's On With Alexa Chung this past Thursday. The band played "Bell" off their latest release Power Move. They totally rocked. They played on the floor with the audience fairly close to the front. I couldn't help but shake my head, move about, and pump my fist. I was wearing loose shoes and not sneakers, so I wasn't to two-step, but it was still fun. My hair got in my face and I was right up front to see Marissa shreddin' on guitar, Mike thumpin' on bass, and Jarrett rollin' on drums. You can actually spot me a number of times in the video above. Can you see StarBeat?

Screamales play the Impose Party at The Yard next Saturday with Psychic Ills, Zs, Silver Summit, Sharon Van Etten, Future Islands, Air Waves, Boogie Boarder. Info and tickets for the all day event is available here. After they headline NYC's Mercury Lounge followed by some Jersey shows and what looks to be an east coast tour.

The way things look for Screaming Females, it's easy to make the comparison that they're like the Vivian Girls of New Brunswick. They've opened for mainstream acts (Dinosaur Jr and the Deadweather), have been getting good press and blog support, and have a devoted fanbase. Now we just need to see them on tour outside of North America.
