Screaming Females @ Maxwell's 5-30-09 Recap

Screaming Females returned to Maxwell's from their east coast tour, performing with Shellshag, Pregnant, and Mimi and Christian. The set included songs off Power Move like "Buried in the Nude," "Starving Dog," and "Lights Out," plus two new songs, and oldie "Fun." It was an impressive set and the crowd went wild. One guy even tried to crowd surf and there was a dude dancing and jumping with someone on his back. This band is fun and groovy, there's no doubt about that. The band will be in the area several times before they head on tour with Jack White of the White Stripes new band The Dead Weather.

You can see them this Friday at Public Assembly in Brooklyn, June 20 at The Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ, June 25 at Music Hall of Williamsburg, or June 28 at Meat Town USA in New Brunswick, NJ.
