In which we recommend Korn and Electric Six shows without any irony.

Destroyer play tonight at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue. Check out “El Rito” from the band’s new EP.

On the heels of Destroyer’s return to D.C. this weekend as part of a tour behind the fantastic 2011 album Kaputt, we spoke to Daniel Bejar about his music, his favorite D.C. club and his future plans.

Dan Bejar, the front-man of Vancouver’s Destroyer, does a lot of things I hate to see at live shows. He barely addresses the audience. He has a tendency to play with his backed turned toward the crowd. He doesn’t look like he actually wants to be in the room, acting as if he’s just there to sing and then go on his way. If you’ve seen him perform with The New Pornographers, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. With the power-pop supergroup, he usually wanders in from off stage to perform when he’s needed for a song or two then goes and hides in the shadows. Despite all that, Bejar’s performance at the Black Cat on Tuesday night was not phoned in by any stretch.
