This upcoming Wednesday WIDR DJs Useless Eater, Rottweiler, and Jake are hosting BLANK, No Bails, The Wrap, and Coma Nova for your FREE listening enjoyment at The Globe. Come on down for music from 9 p.m. to closing time in the wee-small hours of the morning.
What is there to say about BLANK? Shrouded in mystery, there is only a single image of their possible front-man and rhythm boy-wonder. While they describe themselves as a mix between “rock, punk, and grunge” I like to think that they are an unknown force of good in this town, always ready to right musical wrongs like some sort of underground, garage-band Batman. Honestly, I have no clue what they sound like, so you should come listen to them Wednesday so you can finish this article.
In studio the Wrap, self-described as “karaoke from the future,” sounds like someone is prying your old Gameboy apart with soldering tools and seeing how to make it squeal. The group lays down some heavy, buzzed-up synths, zombie-like vocals, playful raps, and samples that range from slowed down “Sister Golden Hair Surprise” to goat bleats. Live, they sound like someone hit that poor Gameboy with a hammer and put that sound through a voice modulator. This goofy group led by Gabe Hovey is worth a double-take.
With host DJ Useless Eater leading the No Bails “turgid rock” trio on guitar, one can expect a Ramones-esque punk smash. With vocals sounding more like a rock tumbler, this gravelly group will almost certainly rock if Mr. Eater plans to uphold his honor as WIDR DJ.
Multi-faceted alt rockers Coma Nova have gone through some changes as of late, but still provide an untamed and unpredictable live experience. Sounding like a powerful hangover one moment, pounding and roaring away, and radical, grody, surfer rock the next, there is always something to catchy to stomp your foot to within a Coma Nova performance. The group will be releasing their new album with the current line-up soon, and this will be a good opportunity to check out some of their new stuff.
Doors open up at 8 p.m., BLANK will be opening up the night at 9 p.m., followed by the Wrap at 10 p.m., No Bails at 11 p.m., and Coma Nova at 12:15 a.m. Afterwards, WIDR DJs Useless Eater, Rottweiler, and Jake will be spinning tracks until closing time, so by golly if you asked for music here you go. Oh, did I mention it was FREE?! No exceptions people, unless you’re under 21.
