Boy Genius (Brooklyn, New York)

Boy Genius from New York are over to play their only London date before heading on to the Indietracks festival.

'Brooklyn quartet Boy Genius has the same no-fuss charm that characterized a lot of 80s college rock: simple hooks, harmonies and melodies, ringing guitars - reliable stuff'
- Time Out New York

... a glorious, slightly ramshackle yet utterly life-affirming experience.
- How Does It Feel (Band of the Day)
