Thursday in Columbus: Ezra Furman & the Harpoons

MP3: Ezra Furman & the Harpoons – Hard Time in a Terrible Land

Last time Ezra Furman and his Harpoons came to town, they were kind enough to stop by Electraplay to film a live session for donewaitingTV. He played a few new, unreleased songs, like the one above — “Bloodsucking Whore.” (And he spoke with Mr. Flexner about the meaning of the tune). Welp, now those songs are released on the band’s new album, Mysterious Power. It’s their best yet.

Ezra Furman & the Harpoons return to Columbus Thursday night to play the Basement ($12, doors at 7pm) with Tristen and the Apache Relay. Revisit the full Live at Electraplay session for a preview.

MP3: Ezra Furman – We Should Fight (Donewaiting.com presents Live at Electraplay)

As you’ll see in these videos, Ezra Furman is the walking definition of idiosyncratic. He yelps. He gestures oddly. He’s simultaneously cocksure and sheepish about his songs. Most importantly, though, he’s a fine songwriter, taking electric-Dylan tropes and slathering them with frantic confessionalism and a little bit of awkwardness just to keep things real.

Furman asks us to fall in love with his world. It’s not a hard thing to do. Keep reading for more videos. Continue reading
