These Are Powers

After the short lived n0 things, ex Liars bass player, Pat Noecker formed These Are Powers with vocalist/guitarist Anna Barie (ex Knife Skills & Fxxxing Lion) and drummer Ted McGrath in 2006. The latter was replaced by Chicago electro drummer/percussionist Bill Salas meaning the band divided time between the windy city and Noecker/Barie’s home of Brooklyn. The band released their debut Terrific Sessions on the Hoss label in 2007 and the record was re-issued, alongside the Taro Tarot EP, once the band signed to Dead Oceans a year later. The trio’s darkly brilliant second album All Aboard Future was released in early 2009 with the band embarking on a rare tour of China later in the year.
