You know the guy.  Friends with the DJ, knows everybody, shakes hands, buys drinks.  But does he give a fuck about you?  Hell no.  He's too cool.  Local spazz-punks Strong Killings, headed by Nate Mooter, dude of a billion bands (check The Lashes and Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground), tap into the near universal contempt for people who have too much going on to be concerned with saying hello to an acquaintance.

Raw, but anthemic, Too Cool is an interesting song full of break-neck tempo changes and deliciously boneheaded riffs, it's one of those rare tunes that's just as likely to appeal to high schoolers as it is to jaded 20-somethings.  These guys are something special, you'd be a fool to miss them playing with local heroes The Absolute Monarchs at the Highline, February 23rd.
