Saturday! / Sunday! / Monday! ~ first feat of strength
Posted by DJ Rick on 2008-04-23 4:46:48pm |
So, Saturday, go to the DAM House in Davis to see the patient zero band of French glue-wave, the makers of the greatest 7" of the 90s, Crash Normal, and Sacto's brawlin' supergroup, Mayyors, and the awesome Sic Alps who made the most gorgeous album of 2007, and New Thrill Parade and Vampire Hands. Ruling starts at 6:30 and ends at 10.
Then, the following night...
Sunday, 4/27
@ Davis Media Access/DCTV
1623 Fifth Street in Davis
8:00-10:00 all ages $5 donation?
MAGICK DAGGERS http://www.myspace.com/magickdaggers
MENTAL STAGNATION http://myspace.com/maomew
Magick Daggers are a Portland supergroup that takes the mall- outta the goth and spikes it with psych. Drummer extraordinaire Ron "Maxamillion" Avila of Get Hustle and ex-dude from tons of awesome bands like Heroin, Final Conflict, Antioch Arrow, etc., has joined with ex-members of Holy Molar and Subtonix to make your closet Siouxsie & the Banshees (circa "Hyaena" (side B especially)) fan out itself.
Mental Stagnation are a new group from Sacto featuring those two sisters that you've seen at shows raising the punk-as-fashion bar beyond lame or predictable and skyrocketing it to refreshingly rad. Just when wearing a mohawk in America has become an act no less spineless peeing in the corner urinal standing diagonally, these gals make punk a threat again AND make it (okay, here goes) FABULOUS! Now, you know which gals I'm talking about? Those two...They're in this rad band that sounds like those goth-tinged moments on a Septic Death album crossed with Rubella Ballet and infused with the kinda enthusiasm you might see at a Mika Miko show.
Don't drink on the premises. You can go two hours without. And even if you can't, walk one block to Aggie Liquor or 7-Eleven and go slam it behind the store real quick. DMA/DCTV is an important community resource that deserves your respect.
And finally...
Monday, 4/28
@ Withdome
1915½ 22nd Street in Sacto
8:00 all ages BYO-whatever $$$DONATE$$$
From England....
PRE http://www.myspace.com/prepreprepre
MAE SHI http://www.mae-shi.com/
SUCKS
Pre are a group of wildly exciting skronk and scrawl at mostly blistering pace, yet achieving catchy hooks. It's highly recommendable to fans of early Melt Banana in terms of mania, energy, and unique female vocalist who looks like she stepped outta some animé cartoon.
I'm not down with Mae Shi's new record, but I've never really liked any of their records very much, and yet, this band has always been pretty tremendous live. Whenever they've skipped Sacto or Davis, I have driven down to the Bay to catch 'em, and they are always a big highlight. One of the most consistent live acts of this decade.
And Sucks rule! Local free-flailin' party-stokers.
I will have some kinda egregious take-out food there that you can grab if you want, and plenty of napkins.
