Sleigh Bells played their first Los Angeles headlining show last night to a sold out crowd at the El Rey Theatre. The concert had everything those familiar with the group would expect – screaming, dowsing fans with water and stage diving – all courtesy of lead singer Alexis Krauss. Things kicked off with the curtains opening to reveal a stage that had nothing but two microphones and a 2×4 stack of amplifiers lit up by red lights. Guitarist Derek Miller walked on stage moments later and had the crowd’s full attention with the first guitar riff.
The duo kept the energy and volume control at 11 for the entire night, running through their catalog of songs without much chit chat in between. Only momentarily did they take a break from the frenetic pace with the mellowed out “Rill Rill”. With only one album worth of material, the set was only 30 minutes and left fans wanting more, screaming for an encore that was not to happen. Nonetheless, the crowd got what they came for – loud guitars, booming beats and piercing vocals. Sleigh Bells continues their headlining tour with stops in Salt Lake City, Denver and Minneapolis in the coming days. More photos from the show follow…
Their debut release, Treats, is packed with blazing guitar riffs and beats that are loud, brash and may frighten small children. Mix in Krauss’ airy vocals, and you’ve got a match made in heaven. The album starts off strong with “Tell ‘Em” and is followed by equally great songs such as “Kids”, “Riot Rhythm”, “Run The Heart” and “Rachel”. Just when you think you’re approaching sensory overload, they mellow things down a bit with “Rill Rill”, another one of the album’s standout tracks (and currently playing on Sirens of Song Online Radio.) Sleigh Bells has been touring for most of 2010 and will be on the road this fall with LCD Soundsystem while making a few solo appearances along the way. Sept 15 – Pawtucket, RI / The Met |

Despite the band’s name, Sleigh Bells isn’t the type of music you’d listen to over the holidays with your grandparents. Imagine Alison Goldfrapp or Inara George joining Public Enemy and you’ve got Sleigh Bells, a duo out of New York City made up of Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss.
