On The Lookout: Action Painters

It's too early to predict how this new Williamsburg band will effect the New York rock scene, but a few MySpace demos and a four-song maxi-single called “Chubby Dancer” give off an energy that will eventually need to be dealt with. The band's best track, “Absolutely Clear,” has the fresh, invigorating sound of early '70s power-pop, though it also has an alluring dark streak.
The band's next show is Aug. 24 at Cake Shop in Brooklyn. Click here for music.
