Square Zeros #30: Brian LaRue (The Planes, Shelter Dogs, The Blowout!, et al.) Square Zeros
-
- Music
You might know Brian LaRue as the Telecaster wizard in the indie rock outfit The Planes, which you’ll find playing scruffy pop tunes all over the north Brooklyn circuit. Or maybe you recognize him as the crooner at the front of the more aggressive four-piece Shelter Dogs or the bassist in brooding post-punkers Dialogue From A Silent Film. Have you been to a show at Pet Rescue, the cozy, off-the-grid DIY space by Cooper Park? Brian’s the brains behind that. And if you’re really lucky, you might have caught him performing a solo set as Women’s Basketball. He’s also a hell of a good writer, especially when it comes to music.
If there’s a way to package all that, it’s this: when Brian leaves his stamp on something, it’s unmistakable.
