Man, I wish I was as cool the liner of this jacket.

Grime nonsense like static through television Saturday morning cartoons, except going on this Friday night at the, one and only, Milhouse. It’s as if the winter has you feeling to clean or adult like, then slam bam wick-a-wham you have fun-noisy-rock thrown into a dishwasher and up-through those rabbit ears we all used to have fun adjusting in the wee small hours of the morning to watch the naughty channels. Friday night is for the ’90s kids.  Individuals born in ’80s are also welcome–and they may invite the other decades if they promise to be cool.

Speedy Ortiz is back from the pits of shows that weren’t with Minutes–which was a bloody fine, hot show that had the room running with sweat and dusty ceiling bits. Had you dancing about with plenty of head swinging–more like droopy swaying with heavy female narration. Moody summertime tunes in a winter basement. Some say they are akin to Built  to Spill, and others could say they’d fit right in with The Pillows.

Roomrunner is also tailing with Speedy Ortiz on their newest tour. Sounding like droning forever rock, Roomrunner just keeps pacing, jogging, moving, and playing to a driven guitar section and garage vocals until things fall apart. Faster than Speedy Ortiz and a bit more like Sex Bob-ombs–if that is a silly enough comparison for ya’. Less silly things could be

Speaking of things falling apart–look who is back together! Rotten Wood Moon is adding on to it’s string of sparse shows with their first of the year. Mad conversations ‘twixt pedals, strings, and however they can be abused or contorted, Rotten Wood Moon rambles on in the finest of noise fashions.

Finally, those wascally sludge punk-ers, Anybody But The Cops, are going to smear over rock and dirtied-up the funk in an appropriately grimy fashion, I’m sure. Recently, bassist Rory was quoted as saying “my bass line is just too clean for these songs” so expect to feel ashamed of how nasty those notes are going to rattle your ass-kicking boots.

Hey, Speedy Ortiz is out on tour from Northampton, MA and Roomrunner is here from Baltimore, MD, so show some donation love for the touring bands.

Respect the house, be totally radical, eat some pizza, enjoy the show. And dress up like a Street Shark. But that is only if you want to be my best friend.
