our show tomorrow is at The Broken Neck, a punk rock/indoor skate park joint on the east side of town. pretty cool, lots of fun. folks can't agree on how to describe This Horn of Afrika out of San Antonio but they agree that they are amazing; each performance is better than the last; i heard that their show during Free Week at Emo's was the best thing anyone ever heard. some friends of mine insist Reverse X-Rays are indie-prog but that makes me think of Olivia Tremor Control; i'll agree if they are talking about such elements as found in the Feelies or More Songs About Buildings and Food-era Talking Heads but those are lofty comparisons; that ain't to say they're not good because they are excellent with jerky rhythms, surf organ & guitars, yelps & ah's, tons of energy. from Lubbock come The Numerators; don't know anything about them but they are opening for HEALTH soon and Daniel Francis Doyle likes them and i usually agree with Doyle.
next week on Thursday, 26 February, we are playing at the Cantanker Magazine new issue launch party & art show w/ Many Birthdays, the Noise Revival Orchestra, The Great Nostalgic, Mistress Stephanie and Her Melodic Cat, MVSCLZ and others at the United States Art Authority. should be good, sweaty fun.
and the schedules and venues have been listed for SXSW 2009. we have an early show which means we aren't gonna miss anything. it appears that we are pretty much the only official thing going on on the Red River block at 7 pm (probably not true but the rest of the world fades when a show approaches), so i think we are gonna have a good turnout. Ringo Deathstarr will follow us; afterwards i think i will check out either PJ Harvey or HEALTH, whichever i can get into most easily. gonna be on the tiny stage of Headhunters. can't wait.
"Coma in Algiers do something a little different. Take the early Touch and Go type sound of Flipper, Big Black, and Jesus Lizard, add some weird noises and 60s influence that reminds me of Electric Eels and Pere Ubu, and throw it together with some antisocial lyrics and I'd say you have a winner. It's a little retro but kinda new at the same time, and it's definitely not "retro" in the sense of the Blondie or Gang of Four rips that are still floating around." [from This Are Music]
speaking of Touch and Go Records, some sad music news.
