Hollow Deck (MA), Brain Drain, Peter Kirsch, house band - August 5

On Wednesday August 5 Western Mass free/k folks Hollow Deck (feat. founding member of Guerilla Toss) visit the house of Welks/Mice/Bottomus.

Brain Drain will come out of summer hibernation for an improv set of dreamy drifting guitar loops and noodles. Peter Kirsch AKA Fountains of Peter will play his hook-laden 90s jangle pop. A house band will play, but I don’t know which one so it’s a surprise.  

The last show in this rad little living room was super chill and comfortable and most importantly featured some great music.

Listen to Hollow Deck’s last release, Hobson’s Choice, out on Friendship Tapes

JATD in Razorcake

New review of Jamie and The Debt’s No, Life Isn’t over at Razorcake:

No, Life Isn’t vacillates between ‘80s feminist performance art screamed through a megaphone—”Thursday Morning Abortion”—and a self-serious Atom And His Package with a Casiotone preset beat—”Choke.” Guitar-only tracks like “Little Bully” highlight the limitations of being a one-woman band, but fuller songs like “Cold” get closer to dynamic garage punk. Menacing, gain-drenched “Gardener” stands out as a surreal mash-up of T.S.O.L. minor chords, Freshman Women’s Studies politics, and Moon Unit Zappa’s vocals on “Valley Girl.” Coming in at under fifteen minutes, No, Life Isn’t closes with “Anthem,” an upbeat survivalist hymn that confirms my suspicion that, with some likeminded collaborators, Jamie And The Debt’s knack for punk affectation will one day blossom into a powerful musical statement.  –Kelley O’Death (Self-released)
