Gliss is one of many L.A. bands that if they were from London or Stockholm we'd be pissing our pants to have them over here. But since they're from here it's easy to take them for granted. We're guilty of this crime ourselves and are embarrassed and ashamed of it, but made amends (sort of) by checking out their opening residency night.
New songs are excellent and their performance is still utterly sexy as ever -- Klingman and Reiss combine for some downright erotic guitar moans and Ms. Cecilia is an absolute vision on drums, bass, drum sampler... a bench seat selling merch. The last night of this residency will serve as their CD release show for their new album Love the Virgins, but you should prepare for it by attending every Monday before then. Bring condoms.
Gliss perform every Monday at the Silverlake Lounge in June with special guests. Shows are free (21+).
