Just a little more than 2 weeks away, Monolith 2008 has added the Handsome Furs to the lineup, much to the delight of many I would assume. For those not familiar with the band, it’s possible you might be familiar with vocalist/guitar player, Dan Boeckner’s other project, Wolf Parade. Boeckner and partner Alexi Perry make up the lineup for Handsome Furs, and as the original concept was to be a bit more sparse and stripped down, the end result is bigger and definitely full of rock, especially live. A fan of the band’s 2007 release Plague Park, I was more than impressed with their 2008 SXSW performance, and would not hesistate to make a second appointment with the band.

Handsome Furs take the New Belgium Stage 3:45 on Sunday Sept 14th.
