Psych-Pop ‘n’ Skiffle madness at Strutt TONIGHT Thursday 07/15/2010!

A whirlwind of psychedelic organ pop and down ‘n’ dirty rock ‘n’ roll is set to bring down the stage at The Strutt in downtown Kalamazoo tonight!

Hollows

Chicago’s Hollows bring giant female vocal harmonies layered over haunting, dark 60s-influenced organ pop.  It’s terrifyingly delicious, one listen to “Shadows in the Dark” on their MySpace should convince anyone with a soul.

YellowFever

YellowFever are traveling from Texas with a paranoid rock ‘n’ roll jitter that’ll get the kids shakin’ in their skivvies and spilling their coffee all over the floor (or perhaps beer for the particularly edgy).  The Austin-based band recently released their record on the Vivian Girls label Wild World label and have been receiving wider critical acclaim.  On her NPR blog, Carrie Brownstein described their sound as “haunted house surf music.”

Local support shall come from the high energy live bounce of Tiny Rhythm with their psycho-skiffle beat.  There’s a chance this will be a prehistoric set where Bo Diddley receives a visit from velociraptors.

Opening the night shortly after 9 p.m. will be the Vox-driven garage pop of The Philly Crawlers. Their sound is kinda like what might’ve happened if Pavement had been trying to imitate The Seeds and Strawberry Alarm Clock instead of The Fall.

For $5, just a little over a dollar per band, you can’t really find a better way to spend on a Thursday night in Kalamazoo.

The Strutt is located at 773 W. Michigan in Kalamazoo, MI.  The show is 18 yrs old and up, costs $5, and starts at 9 p.m.
