Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Knocked Up

Here’s a dirty secret: 99 percent of all music sucks. (It’s true. Look it up.) Given that the digital age allows any no-talent hack with a laptop to unleash sonic drivel upon the world, that means there has never been more bad music at any point in history than there is right now. Chilling, no? Enter the Knocks. The NYC-based production duo became a blogosphere darling in 2011 behind a string of exquisite global dance hits and a heat-seeking new EP, Magic, that has been shaking dance floors across the country. They are the 1 percent. But in this case, that’s a good thing. Catch the Knocks at Club Metronome on Monday, January 9.
