CMW Live: The Russian Futurists SNEAKY DEES - MARCH 6 - by Karolina Rous - How can you not dig the pop-infused, sunshine-drenched super-fun sound of Toronto's own The Russian Futurists? They are always a great act to catch, and at Sneaky Dees they delivered yet once again, proving they are one of Canada's finest indie acts today. I can't get enough of their electro-synth, keyboard-heavy sound that takes a playful spin on the sometimes all-too-full-of-itself genre that is pop electronica. With the crowd already primed and ready to dance its asses off thanks to openers The Cansecos, The Russian Futurists stepped into a geared-up scene, which they took full advantage of. Hitting on all their classics, such as "Paul Simon," which got the kids dancing, "Precious Metals," which lead singer Matt Hart dedicated to "all the rappers in the house," and a new treat, the track "Register My Firearms, No Way!" that solicited some serious laughs out of the kids before it set out to destroy the place. It was so great, you can tell their new material is gonna be a hit. The Russian Futurists are so catchy, it's like they have magnets in their pockets, they pull at you so. Hands down one of the better acts of CMW 2008.
