Handsome Furs: TAS In Session

It's not been an easy month for Handsome Furs. The married duo of Dan Boeckner and Alexei Perry had to cancel shows in Bucharest and Vienna last week due to what they called a "personal trauma." But this devoted couple, who make a point of touring far-flung locales from Myanmar to Sibenik, have always persevered. Their third album, Sound Kapital, reflects that wanderlust and determination. Earlier this fall Boeckner and Perry dropped by The Alternate Side for a fascinating live session, dipping into songs from their latest album. You can hear that session on TAS on WNYE this Friday, December 16, at 11 a.m. or streaming on The Alternate Side.
