It wasn’t the Hate Boat exactly—the Gleeful Rage Boat maybe. The crowd was exceedingly friendly and largely thirtysomething which is odd. You’d figure on punk lifers sentient enough to have loved Bad Brains from the moment they surfaced in ’82 on that famous RIR cassette bright yellow cover with a cartoon lightning bolt striking the Capitol dome so perfect. r fresh-faced teenagers getting their first shot at enjoying the band in real time at all.

Raise a frosty one to Amber Pacific

He understood we were going to have pop-rock verse-chorus-verse cookie-cutter radio songs — and more punk-rock songs. The singer said Amber Pacific aims to be positive and knows all about fighting through tough times. “When we first started we were wondering ‘Why did we drop out of school and pay money out of our wallets [to produce their first album] to play in front of two kids?’ “Now the week in local clubs:• Local art-rock legends Sky Cries Mary are back with their first new-material album in seven years. Roderick and Anisa Romero the husband-and-wife dual vocalists of SCM unveil songs from their new “Small Town” CD at Neumos (9 tonight $12). • Reunion week: Woodstock heroes Sweetwater play three nights at the Crocodile… The rockers will be pumping “Hair” a new CD fittingly named for a bunch of young dudes sporting ’70s rocker hair — and ’70s rocker sound. Mark Fredson the gangly singer and potential star is equally at ease shouting to Led Zep riffs or gearing down on mellow tunes. • For the kids: Atlas Clothing has brought all-ages music to Capitol Hill. A grungy converted warehouse is in the alley behind the clothing store (1515 Broadway) next to the disco Neighbours. This is a very do-it-yourself place as volunteers have been putting on shows at Atlas for the past couple months on an increasingly regular basis. For complete schedule and more info:.
Gore Gore Girls Get the Gore
PopMatters – Jun 26, 2007
The Gore Gore Girls are one such act. Named after the last blood-drenched grindhouse spectacle to be directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis “the Godfather of Gore” in 1972 and with a passion for sexy ‘60s Go-Go fashion this all-female (with the exception of original drummer Jeff Klein) band has perhaps been to easily dismissed as a mere “novelty act”. Certainly like the Cramps’ whom the Gore Gore Girls supported on tour in 2005 their image is married to the music and the music to the image or as Lux Interior put it the “Gore Gore Girls are the Ronettes with guitars. ” Then again maybe the lack of commercial success had something to do with the constant changes in line-up which since the band’s formation in1997 resembled a Go-Go-Girl carousel at times… ” Then again maybe the lack of commercial success had something to do with the constant changes in line-up which since the band’s formation in1997 resembled a Go-Go-Girl carousel at times. It’s more likely however to do with the same problem that the Detroit Cobras (Cobras and Reigning Sound bassist Carole Anne Schumacher rounds out the line-up here) suffered from for so long—an inability to fully capture their explosive live performances on record. Not that the Gore Gore Girls’ full-length garage-punk debut in 2000 Strange Girls or their more soulful follow-up in 2002 on the Get Hip label Up All Night are bad far from it they just lack that certain spark which frequently ignites their onstage appearances.
Dub Trio Cool ut and Coexist
PopMatters – Jun 26, 2007
Examining one small piece by itself out of context tells little about what the puzzle looks like in a state of wholeness other than revealing a few flecks of its color and a bit of its shape. Similarly to only say that there are elements of metal or reggae in the music of Dub Trio fails to provide proper context for how the band’s tightly interconnected presentation comes off when all the fragments of their sound combine as one. Stepping back to gain full view of the band’s ability to fuse metal reggae punk ambient and noise rock in surprisingly cohesive and effective fashion allows appreciation for the entirety of the band’s sound. Culled from material recorded live during two dates at Brooklyn’s Union Pool back in February Cool ut and Coexist is the band’s third record; it serves as a brisk and highly charged primer on the band’s flashpoint fusion. The record starts with a brief rapid fire burst of aggression—the intro to opener “Angle of Acceptance”—before the band tempers the visceral tone with a bass-driven groove that suggests how Dub Trio received their name. The group’s aptitude for seamlessly weaving in and out of styles and dynamics is first seen here and is re-established at multiple points on the album including the intro to the following track “Who Wants to Die?”Dub Trio’s work is almost exclusively instrumental and Cool ut and Coexist is no exception. ther than a few bits of spoken word and fleeting vocal interjections the band allows their instruments to speak for them.
