Photos: The Golden Filter make their US debut

In what's become one of the best mysteries in the electro world over the last nine months or so, the identity-hiding disco pop group The Golden Filter have been able to catch the attention of much of the blogosphere without even a bio.  Solely resting on the laurels of infectious, sugar-synth and drums pop music, the trio have been Internet sweethearts, but up until Friday's show at Le Poisson Rouge in New York, hadn't had a proper US debut.  We've known all along who was behind the curtain, but we vowed not to tell, and, well, we're still keeping to it.

But with a line-up of like minded frontier-pushers like Philly's Manchester-circa-1982 Pink Skull and New York's own thrashy sensation HEARTSREVOLUTION as support, The Golden Filter took to the stage and plowed through a set of sultry tracks with tons of effects, machine gun drums (and live ones too) and sweaty synth lines, making the kids shake and pop.  All things go.
