Show Recap: Psychic Graveyard and more at the Resident.

On Tuesday, July 30th, 2019, the Providence, Rhode Island band Psychic Graveyard made their LA debut at Resident, along with Plack Blague and LA’s own Prissy Whip. It was an outstanding night for underground noise and industrial rock. And if you missed it but love noise rock, you should feel disappointed. Here’s a recap: 

Prissy Whip is a razor-sharp noise rock band with female-fronted vocals. I was reminded of an extreme, and up-to-date Gang of Four, Botch, The Locust, or Blood Brothers. The band played an all new set, which, speaking with drummer Dalton Blanco after the show, the band has already recorded and sent off to the printing plant. Since the set they played is not available online, those in attendance were blessed to be there. I can attest that the songs are brutal, heavy, technical, and very very good. Every song sounded like I was being hit by a moving truck. We were lucky to enough to grab the setlist as well. With songs like “Erzebet” which is named after the first female serial killer in Hungary, you can be sure the songs are just as abrasive, in the good way.

Plack Blague is an industrial dance band for fans of everything heavy, dark, and dancey: Front 242 fronted by the Gimp from Pulp Fiction. Over pulsating, throbbing synths and beats, a leather-strapped male dances, shouts, and wretches on stage. It is a violent spectacle to behold. And since most of their music is not available online (youtube only), you can rest assured that a show might be the only place to catch this hot, sticky band. We don’t know much about their songs or song titles, but the last song (and most danciest) they played was titled “Boys Club,” so if you have an active imagination, you have an idea of what it might sound like. We can’t wait to hear it again.

Psychic Graveyard, the new band from Eric Paul (ex-The Chinese Stars, Arab on Radar) and other veteran members of the underground noise scene, did not disappoint on their first visit to LA. As expected, Eric Paul put on an electric and unpredictable performance, climbing on amps, making weird faces, showing his nipples, flipping off the crowd, as he shrieked and howled avant-garde poetry over the interesting noise and static his band generated. It was a spectacle to behold, giving new electricity to the songs on their debut album (Loud as Laughter), which arguably must be seen/heard live to fully appreciate and understand. Check out the video below (not from the Resident show) for a look at their live performance. 

As a result of the evening’s excellent programming, a plethora of LA musicians and appreciators of extreme music were in attendance, including members of Truck Bitch, Egrets on Ergot, Retox, Moving Units, and more. Many celebrity sightings were possible, but the musicians on the stage were the biggest stars of the night.

In my former role as Reviewer Rob, the Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of Reviewer Magazine for 20 years, I'd always get review material sent to me for free. In fact, getting free stuff was kinda like my religion, one that I followed fanatically. If I was to sit down with a shrink and analyze it on the couch I'd probably discover that it's the main reason why I got into publishing Reviewer Magazine. Back then my mailbox (the actual post office kind) would often be stuffed with free merch like CDs, all kinds of books including expensive high-end first edition art photography monographs, and sometimes even fashion like t-shirts. Then, in every city, I'd get into any show I wanted for free, enthusiastically, because the band or venue promoter wanted a printed review. This was long before reviewing became an online phenomenon crowdsourced at websites getting five star ratings for businesses and services from any opinion slinging keyboard peasant that can type a blog post, haha. To my joy, last night after the Lisa Carver show at Peter D's I was given a review copy of the new book Psychiatric Tissues by Jeff "Clinical Depression" Schneider @pigroastpublishing, formerly of Arab On Radar. It's about his time in that Indie band from the 90s from Rhode Island and it's during that same time period, matching the pre-social-networking heyday of "indy DIY" creativity with its Non-Stop flood of review merch coming in. Jeff's now a practicing psychoanalyst in Providence, Rhode Island. He read last night at Peter D's in his gruff Sopranos-esque contrabass voice. I expect the book will be well written as a stark and revealing trip down memory lane to a kind of life I didn't experience personally but covered from afar. Also educational, because if we forget the past how can we ever learn from it and attempt to preserve what was good about it? That's not really a question. It's more of a statement. #arabonradar #lisacarver #psychistrictissues #peterds #iloveart #sandiego #jeffschneider #pigroastpublishing #providencerhodeisland #psychoanalysis #indymusic #diy #the90s #liveperformance #peterds #sandiego #reviewcopy (at Peter D's) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzV_JGaAqdD/?igshid=de7h4begalfv
