The Shondes Launch Winter & More Tour
12/01/2007
By: Patrick Steven Patterson
The Shondes, a Brooklyn, NY-based quartet taking its name from the Yiddish word for
"shame" or "disgrace" has launched a winter tour to preface the release of its debut
album, The Red Sea produced by Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, They Might Be
Giants, Book Of Knots) in early 2008.
The band receives comparisons to Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith and Rasputina - branching
feminist punk, classical, Jewish and queercore - but also, whether planned or not, gives a
nod to mid '80s acts post-wave and punk...but with the addition of strings.
The Shondes - Temim Fruchter (drums/vocals), Louisa Solomon (bass/vocals), Ian Brannigan
(guitar) and Elijah Oberman (violin/vocals) - quickly gained popularity in its native city thanks
to its complex melodic song structures combined with rich, intertwined
vocals.
