The scarcity of Total Control’s live performances (and the complete absence of their US appearances) since the release of their second LP, Typical System (on Iron Lung Records) may seem surprising, if not downright disappointing. However, the silence is being broken this summer, with the announcement of just seven dates in August, on their way to Los Angeles’ Berserktown Fest. The Brooklyn date is at Music Hall of Williamsburg, and will be supported by Denmark’s Lust for Youth, along with Sannhet and Flesh World (whose name is also, perhaps coincidentally, the third track on Typical System). American fans will finally be able to experience tracks from the record live, which range from synth-pop-inflicted cuts to harsh post-punk. All dates are below.
