The cream always rises to the top, and such is the case with Brooklyn band Parquet Courts.

Enjoy this full performance from KEXP at SXSW… and if this is your sort of thing, we suggest you not only get Pickathon Tickets (where they will destroy all expectations in the Galaxy Barn), but also catch them when in Portland next at The Doug Fir on June 12.

This band is on fire and we’re witnessing their rise in real time…

No frills, cheap guitars, and nine songs in 30 minutes.
