So we were invited by The Head Set's management to attend this show last Thursday night at Mercury. It was time well spent. A relatively new band -they boast a decent EP and a solid LP from last year. They don't tuck away their influences, which either are the same as The Strokes or The Strokes themselves. But enough of the bad news and on with the good: Lead singer, Jordan Blaugrund , is engaging and somewhat demands your attention, almost as much as similar frontmen from The National, The Walkmen, and The Veils, who are also groups that The Head Set could be lumped with sonically. There may be nothing that sets them apart for the time being, but with a charismatic singer and songs that hint at future success, they're going in the right direction.www.theheadset.com
