We Say Yeah Yeah Yeah to Pterodactyl

Pterodactyl, besides being one of our favorite dinosaurs, is also a pretty kick-ass noise rock trio out of Brooklyn. We've been listening to their self-titled release (which came out near the end of April), and although it's a bit uneven, its slight dips are compensated for by its soaring highs. By which we mean, it can occasionally drift so far into discordance that it's just annoying. But at other times it rocks your socks off. The insane, brutal drumming on "Polio" (one of the album's two really stand-out tracks, along with "Astros") is worth the price of admission alone.

The boys of Pterodactyl were supposed to be playing Johnny Brenda's, but now they're opening for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Electric Factory tomorrow night. We're going to go ahead and say that's a step up! (We're assuming you already know how cool the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are, which is why we spent this post talking about Pterodactyl instead.) Incredibly, as of this writing there are still tickets left for this awesome indie rock show, so definitely grab yours up now before it's too late!
