Before Johnny Temple built Akashic Books into one of the hippest, smartest small literary presses around, he was the bass player for Girls Against Boys. Tonight, the band is headlining the Bowery Ballroom, their first American show in five years, to be followed by a performance in Los Angeles Sunday night. At the concerts, the band plans to play its first album, Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby, in its entirety.
To get a sense of what you’re in for if you go, the Jade Tree website has two songs off their last album, You Can’t Fight What You Can’t See.
