Event information

Jonny Halifax and The Howling Truth- psych fuzz rocknroll with beautifully bent guitar parts and a Jon Spencer meets Bob Log wonky weirded out wonder at all times…one one man band that fills the auditorium with beatific bastard blues, yowsah. Some Country Teasers/M.E.S madness too fo sho- Julian Cope Says…“Slitherin’ electro-programmed slide guitar driven mung worship sounds like the Bayou by way of Vladivostock.”Junkyard choir-Stomping fuzzed up garage blues duo with a subtle post punk element that sets them apart from mere Black Keys copyists. Impassioned playing and strong tunes MDME SPKR- Nasty low slung narco punk with a girl singer with deliriously nasty vocal…part Niagra out of Destroy All Monsters, part disaffected rap chick. There’s a nice stoner element here, but there’s also a bit of Cramps twang and garageness and a bit of Fallabilly about it. Sounds great, loads of tood, loads of prowling malevolence. Their current material is really heavy and wonderfully fraught, echoing Black Flag, Black Sabbath and Big Black…that’s a lot of groovy noir! Dem Bones- Ska tinged rock influenced by yer u.s. bands but quite an interesting sound sprawls into mariachi garage rock, the SKA influence is there as in early Clash but not overbearing and the singers a bit Iggy.
