December is BAD HISTORY MONTH at the Corner Record Shop – 12/11/13

Leave a reply

It’s cold and snowy. You want to be inside a place. The Corner Record Shop is a place. Wednesday night, it is also -the- place to be.

From Boston, Bad History Month will be bringing acoustic versions of tracks by Boston band Fat History Month, from the record Sad History Month. If you like Modest Mouse even a little, You’ll love these guys. For those of you who are familiar with and enjoy About A Million, you may love these guys even more. Naked guitar. world-weary vocals. An ever-present sense of despair coupled with the thrill of living a minute at a time. Is this what being beautiful feels like? You be the judge.

If December is Bad History Month, then Kalamazoo is FUZZ TOWN. Crackling drone-noise-guitar by locals Josh (of Forget The Times) and Josh (of Joshualien, AKA Poncho). A favorite of the local experimental offerings, these guys will make you think about how you feel. Maybe even a little too much.

Finally, Local Boulder Saxsquatch will be playing an experimental solo set.

Doors are open ALL DAY because it’s a RECORD STORE. Bring bucks for the touring act! BYOB but don’t act a danged fool! The show will start at 9 and should be pretty cool! Hope to see y’all there.

Across the Northern Americas and Unto Kalamazoo Basements – 9.23 – MILHOUSE

To me, it’s sometimes baffling the distance many musicians travel just to end up in a basement in the midwest. Not that I’m complaining, really, I’m celebrating! Reveling in the fact that a small college town can functionally and consistently bring in artists from far, to enjoy their works.

This show happening at Milhouse on Monday, September 23rd is a prime example of this sort of trek. Two different tours, two different ends of the Northern American continent coming together. SCREAMING QUEENS are traveling all the way from Vancouver, BC, and KRILL are by contract coming all the way from Boston, MA.

SCREAMING QUEENS a noisy, heavy queer punk outfit. Their sound is driving and mean, but not cliche, and throws back to some old-school experimenters, but with a new flare.

KRILL by contrast are a catchy experimental fuzzed out pop concoction. They’ve got all the hooks but I would not call them predictable. These folks are friends of Speedy Ortiz, veteran performers of the Milhouse basement, and certainly if you enjoy Speedy, you’re guaranteed to dig Krill.

PLUS LOCAL SUPPORT BY

ANYBODY BUT THE COPS – spazzy jazzy angular change-up punks with a new deom
