rolling punk / non-indie underground 2013

They just added King Tuff today, which is great, but the Upset the Rhythm email says Purling Hiss start at 11:30 now, which means I won't get to see them because of London's comical public transport

I'll probably just night bus it. It's Friday tomorrow.

They added King Tuff last week - something not v hard to decode like Special Guests Regal Toughs or something.

King Tuff are just replacing the Pheromoans anyway so I expect the gig was always gonna be that late

Liquors drunkened me and I asked mister king tuff if it was cool to have the fall turn up at your gig but he pointed out white fence dude was IN the fall so it was totally unsurprising. Oh well. Tbh I was impressed that MES was still upright at this hour.

man a local punk promoter is doing a show for this band called california x, they have a video on pitchfork so i guess they're kind of big but this is the first i've heard of them. anyways just want to say i really hope this is just a one-off thing and that this sound isn't coming back... the worst 90's - early 00's alt vibes

sediment club / guerilla toss split LP coming out on feeding tube... soonish?

which is apparently available at target, lawl

I love the california x record; it's far more a bubblegum-y version of dinosaur jr. sludge than it is early 00's alt rock. spider x is one of the weaker songs on the record. opening and closing tracks sucker and mummy are phenomenal.

also, seen them twice live and they are fun though clearly still a young band

ok cool. you're right that it's just dinosaur jr, i just don't like dinosaur jr

edward do you like dope body (baltimore)? seem like your kinda thing

yeah dope body are dope, posted them in the 2011 rolling punk thread iirc *totters away on cane*

iirc the California X track Pitchfork posted was the one thing I heard by em I enjoyed... got a cleaned up Fu Manchu vibe which I know on paper sounds like missing the point of Fu Manchu but w/e I dug it. other stuff I checked out didn't connect

are Dope Body one of those bands that climb over everything and make a mess? seem to recall this being suggested. if I'm not too busy next Weds I'll prolly go see em

what kind of spell do you say to summon contenderizer to this thread

Hmm Dope Body playing on Monday here. I'm already going to see the Melvins on Sunday and probably Seapony on Tuesday, and I'm already 2 nights in on what is probably going to turn into a weekend long binge (friends birthday tomorrow and said Melvins gig) so I'm not sure my liver/brain will stand up to a gig on Monday as well :(

kinda arty trash rock

missed a show with them tonight

http://thedeads.bandcamp.com/

also these dudes

like psychy dark funk punk

CONCRETE CROSS (a name which feels like the perfect intersection between interesting-sounding and generic-sounding) from NYC have made the best brickwall hardcore record that I'm aware of this year. the singer was in some bands in the 90s that passed me by like Indecision and Milhouse. anyway this rips and you can hear it here https://soundcloud.com/man-in-decline-records/sets/concrete-cross-self-titled-lp

Flopson,

Did you see Blank Realm or Total Control recently? Thinking after the fact that I shoulda gone to those 2 shows. Not sure if those Down Under groups fit here exactly but maybe they do.

I finally got around to listening to the crazy spirit LP that is some proper snotty hc. Tonight was a who's who of bristol hc, disorder, Fuk, lunatic fringe, plus.the varukers headlined (west midlands represent) . Fuk clearly the best of the lot tbh

u mean at chaos in tejas? i didn't end up going... or... did they play montreal?!

(xp curmudge)

So jealous of chaos in tejas

yeah,...

yeahhhhhh

i'm not sure where else to post this, but it rules super hard. 10-minute album jam-packed with huge riffs and hooks.

x-post to Flopson

Oh, I thought you were in the W. DC area like me. Blank Realm and Total Control were here

Weird, both of the bands I posted there are on SPIN today. I love predicting the future.

there is lots of good stuff at this but the Zigfrid Von Underbelly stage is worth the admission price on its own

despite actually passing through London on this day I can't go :(

never pass up an opportunity to see wtf dave thomas does at a pere ubu show!

when i saw them it was so amazing, in the middle of the set he got mad at the band and marched them offstage in the middle of the set to go yell at them.

then he was so mad at the crowd at the end he forbid any merch sales!

Don't call him "Dave."

Would he be upset if you asked him to sign an 8x10" of the founder of Wendy's?

Somehow I'd manage to completely avoid hearing about East End Live. Usually stuff like that turns up on my RSS feed from last.fm but I guess nobody added it yet, or they did this week when I haven't got around to setting up new RSS post google reader shutdown. I was going to go to see Despise You that night but this might well be a better choice. I've never seen Pere Ubu before. Trouble is with stuff like this I expect a lot of bands I'd like to see will clash with each other but there are no stage times as yet. I can live without seeing Comet Gain and Monochrome Set cos I've seen them before so it's not a big deal.

So anyway cheers for the heads up DJ Mencap.

i found out about this band a year ago through someone posting on this thread and man, they`re so good... really taut high energy punk with cool kinda minutemen-ey interludes. think you guys would really like em

also this whatever brains album on sorry state is a fun listen: http://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/whatever-brains-2013

Just got into Whore Paint. They get a lot of Arab on Radar and Doomsday Student comparisons, but I don't hear it. I think MRR described them best "babes in Toyland meets Christian Death."

their record's dropping soon. sounds like they captured the weird muscle/space/force of their live show so I'm psyched.

MHV were fucking rad. They're kinda done now tho. The twins in the band (Wyatt and Fletcher, drums and bass, respectively) have a two piece drum and bass band called The Garden that are amazing. Kind of a mix of post punk, garage, surf, and experimental. They have a few albums available on bandcamp. They're kind of blowing up. I booked them at the last show I put together. In addition to that, each member of MHV has a solo project. Fletcher does the synthpop Puzzle, Wyatt does the straight pop Enjoy, and Rex (the singer/guitarist) does this awesome acoustic+drum machine emo project called Rexx.
