Some bands need biographies written on them, some bands do not, yet someone still foolishly insists on writing one. Brooklyns Battles fall squarely into the latter category. Nonetheless... Rising from the ether of a pop-scarred 2004, the enigmatic "EP C" announced Battles arrival like a blinding succession of Morse Code strobes across an aphotic landscape. Even as a short-form debut it was clear that band members Ian Williams, John Stanier, Tyondai Braxton and Dave Konopka had established something utterly unique. Instead of the conventional band dynamic of individual players waiting for their turn to be showcased, the members of Battles are more analogous to a tangle of brain synapses all firing in time with each other. Having served time in seminal acts Don Caballero, Helmet, Tomahawk, Lynx and The Mark of Cain amongst others, Battles draw from a sprawling range of styles and sounds and distill this erratic static into the tightest mindfuck jams to be committed to playable format. Closely following "EP C," "Tras/Fantasy" served as another definitive dose of labyrinthine, juggernaut rhythms and equilibrium-shifting textures that would safely place the band outside the orbit of any contemporaries.

With his midriff-baring t-shirts and loose-limbed dance moves, !!!s Nic Offer is a total goofball in the unselfconscious way that only really cool guys can get away with being. If you have ever attended a performance by !!! or Offers former band, Out Hud, then you are familiar with his repertoire: the Christ-like wingspan, overhead clapping, shimmying hips, gangly duck-walking, dervish spins, scissor kicks, and humpy pelvic thrusts. It is like the mutant spawn of step aerobics, Flashdance, and Electric Boogaloo in an arena-ready package: ridiculous, extravagant, and completely awesome. Offers stage presence is not just deeply entertaining; it is an ice-breaker that gives us permission, by example, to forget ourselves and celebrate with abandon. You can tell he is having a hell of a time, and his enthusiasm is infectious.
