Blonde Valhalla (who made it in our recent Best of NYC Year End Poll for emerging artists) is ex-Suckers drummer Brian Aiken’s new band, and it comes across as a homage to the sounds of brainy electronic acts of the 80s like early Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Cars and even Brian Eno at times. Born as a one-man project, it has now expanded to a 7 piece, including musicians previously involved in Clouty, Shit Yeah Girl, Po Johnson, and Let’s Go Serotonin. You can see Blonde Valhalla live at The Delancey on 02.28.
