Shout Out Louds played Pianos, return to NYC on May 5

Shout Out Louds, the indie-rock band from Stockholm, Sweden, performed a free show at Piano's on Tuesday, March 2. They were in the U.S. for what seemed like just some shows in NYC. The night before they had a sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Freelance Whales. The band hit the stage at 7:26pm and performed almost all their new album, Work, released Feb. 23 on Merge. They threw in "Very Loud," from their 2003 album Howl Howl Gaff Gaff and "Impossible" from their 2007 album Our III Wills." The set was straight-forward, but the pop-dance sensibilities of the songs shined through.  The 11 song set closed with "Walls," where Adam sings "Never trust anyone so run away, run, run, run, run, run." The band's pleasant, catchy set had me moving. Piano's seems to be becoming quite the spot for free shows at 7pm on Tuesday, so keep a watch out for any this Tuesday. 

In May the band return the U.S. for a tour. If you missed them, see them May 5th at Webster Hall. Tickets are $22 in advance, $27 day of show. 18+. Doors ar 7pm. Tickets available here

Shout Out Louds is Adam Olenius (vocals, guitars), Ted Malmros (bass), Eric Edman (drums), Bebban Stenbord (keyboard, accordion, glockenspiel, moog,backing vocals), and Carl Von Arbin (guitars).
