Los neoyorquinos @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social han vuelto al directo tras varios años de ausencia para recrear su primer álbum en una amplia serie de conciertos por la península ibérica. Su concierto del viernes pasado en Oviedo fue una celebración indie pop. ✍️ Crónica por @autoescuela.bsky.social

Crónica de la cita madrileña con la reunión de @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social, donde la banda de Brooklyn demostró que sus primeras canciones siguen sonando de maravilla. www.indienauta.com/the-pains-of...

This beer tastes like tear soaked anoraks.

Thanks @tim-burgess.bsky.social for this - and for finding us on here. We’re not on the *other* one anymore.

Indie-pop greats @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social, a Stereogum Band To Watch back in ‘07, reunited for their first show in seven years tonight. The surprise set in Queens comes in advance of a previously announced run of shows in Spain and Portugal that kicks off Wednesday. [📹: @abbyfjones.bsky.social]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “… a reminder that at their best -- as they are quite often here -- the Pains of Being Pure at Heart were something special.” — Tim Sendra

“The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart recuperan sus primeros singles y caras-b en ‘Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 2008-2010’, una recopilación que nos muestra su enorme talento a la hora de hacer pop lleno de guitarras ruidosas y melódicas.”

Big thanks to @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social and Neil Laurenson for reviewing our new @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social compilation! www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2025/02/10/t...

Super excited to get a copy of the new @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social from @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social. I have so many fond memories of this time in my life, not least of which was blasting Pains at my old record store job as frequent as possible 🎵

Awesome review of the new Pains comp from Rosy Overdrive. Side Ponytail forever! @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social

Check out @stgadam.bsky.social interview with Kip Berman of @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social ... survivingthegoldenage.com/interview-ki...

"don't tell me / it's the last night / of our young lives / tonight" The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's "Perfect Right Now" compiles scarce first alum era b-sides, split singles and EP tracks. On CD and wicked color vinyl LP, and out now! https://slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/perfect-right-now

For First Revival this week, I spoke with Kip Berman of @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social, who gets a gold star for mentioning one of my favourite bands, Adorable, without being prompted.

Happy Sweet Sixteen to this piece of pop perfection from the beautiful @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are playing reunion shows in Spain and Portugal in Feb/March. Expect to hear a lot of songs from their classic first album, which we're reissuing January 17th. With special guest Cristina Quesada, tickets on sale now: bnds.us/gl7in0 @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social

🇪🇸Pains in Spain 2025🇪🇸 We’re playing LP1 + a few more songs from that era, so come party with us. We’ll also have those two new @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social records with us, and Elefant Records’ Cristina Quesada is opening. Tickets: bnds.us/gl7in0

I’ve been told this (@Monorailmusic.bsky.social exclusive color) has now sold out. Thanks for supporting the best record store in the music capital of our world. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nothing new, but all the songs that weren’t on our first LP on vinyl in one place. Saves you the trouble of tracking down long out of print (and pricey) 7” Kurt Cobain’s Cardigan split single! Also available on CD for only $9. @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social keeps it the realest!

Here’s a live clip of me (Kip) singing “C is the Heavenly Option” with Heavenly! Seriously one of the coolest things I’ve ever got to be a part of. My voice is (at least) 2 octaves higher than Calvin’s.
