As Hurricane Matthew rips along the Florida coast, one of Miami’s chillest bands has already found shelter here in the Northeast. That would be the Iggy Pop-approved Jacuzzi Boys, a scuzzy guitar rock trio that plays the Middle East in Cambridge this Saturday.
Jacuzzi Boys are in town in support of their fourth album (and first on their own label, Mag Mag), titled Ping Pong. It’s out October 21. A few weeks back BrooklynVegan premiered the fuzz-tacular jam “Boys Like Blood,” and yesterday Pretty Much Amazing presented their latest track, the assertive, noise-layered “Lucky Blade.” Listen to both below via Soundcloud.
It should also be noted that the PMA post has a pretty incredible tidbit about Iggy Pop’s feelings on the Jacuzzi Boys. The rock icon says: “I love the Jacuzzi Boys, I’ve watched them grow for years, it’s not easy to be a punk in Miami and they’re a great band, they put boots on the ground. They opened for me a little while ago and they’re a hard act to follow.“
If you don’t bow down to an endorsement from Iggy, and don’t possess any human emotion for dudes from a city under hurricane attack, then we don’t know what to tell you.
