THIS SHOW WENT AND GOT CANCELED.
SORRY GUYS!

SLOW DEATH (aka Pretty Boy Thorson) :: MIKE ERG :: SCOTTY SANDWICH

@ Pinhook, Tuesday, March 9th. 9pm. 5 bucks.
Presented & Stamp-Approved By Bull City Records.

Very excited for this one! The Pretty Boy Thorson crew has gotten us a little spoiled around these parts. For the last 4 years they’ve swung across North Carolina probably 2 or 3 times a year. While in town, they usually put on one of my favorite shows of the year. We first met here at the shop right after opening; they came through on tour with Minneapolis house-mates, Off With Their Heads, and ooooooh…it was love at first sloppy, drunk, ragged sight. Yes, they also played that mess of a night back in July at the Pinhook. They’ve played the Joyce, Siren’s…basically anywhere and anyone who would let me fool them into booking a show for this band.

This time through they cross the border as The Slow Death while on their way down south to play the Harvest of Hope Festival alongside Des Ark, Fin Fang Foom, Mountain Goats, Billy Bragg, Kimya Dawson, 7 Seconds and a ridiculous amount of other amazing bands. Following the lead of their buddies in OWTH who literally live on the road, they’ve turned to the interstate for an undetermined amount of time. The Slow Death consists of Jesse Thorson (main dude/guitar) and Dave Strait (guitar) from Pretty Boy Thorson, Tampa Jonny C (ummm…guitar too?) and Mikey Erg (drums), yes, from the Ergs. The songs draw as much influence from Merle Haggard as they do Leatherface and Dillinger 4, lending their sound a great vibe reminiscent of Rank & File, Jason & the Scorchers, etc. Cowpunk, baby. Hailing from Minneapolis, they just can’t seem to deny those Replacements roots either. All in all it boils down to amazing country punk songs full of dark despair, boredom and a slow burning, inevitably hopeless move towards nothing.

From Take It Easy CD:
PBT – Try to Get Some Sleep
PBT – I Should Really Move Out of the Alamo
From Ain’t It Funny CD/LP:
PBT – I Know I Said I Love You But I Guess I Don’t
PBT – If the Drinkin Don’t Kill Me, I’ll Think of Something Else
PBT – Two Steps Across Two Harbors

Mikey Erg will also be performing a solo set. Not sure what this will entail, but the last time he was in town he threatened to come by the shop and play all Knack covers. Which is pretty appropriate for this month I would suppose. Could be his hit Ergs songs, could be something none of us expect! I’d suggest getting there to experience it though!

The Ergs – A Very Special Song for a Very Special Young Lady, Pt. 2
The Ergs – Extra Medium

One-man hype machine and the label-man behind the new Red Collar LP, Scotty Sandwich will be closing the night out with a solo set. His band, the Sandwiches, sent punknews.org and other blog/news sites into a hizzy this past year with their international, created through-the-internet ghost band and relentless message board fights.

The Take It Easy CD is out of print, but the Ain’t It Funny CD & LP are both alive and well at Bull City Records if you need ‘em!
This show is gonna be one to see.

Moon Duo – Escape LP
(Woodsist, 2010)

Lately, I have not been able to get enough of San Francisco’s Wooden Shjips. Their newest LP, Dos (Holy Mountain, 2009), is a modern psychedelic masterpiece and rarely stays in the shop for more than a week. It’s usually forced on a friend or regular who swings into the shop without something specific in mind. I also have a huge soft spot in my heart for the cold, paranoid sounds of NYC’s Suicide. Their 1977 debut is still a little mind-boggling and still ahead of its time.

Anyway, this brings us now to San Francisco’s Moon Duo. Moon Duo is Erik Johnson, guitarist for Wooden Shjips, and Sanae Yamada. With the Duo they’ve combined the best elements of both the above bands. Last year they released two 12″ EPs that were absolutely mesmerizing, dark and extremely gritty. Two weeks ago, Woodsist brought us their debut full length, Escape. This duo reeks clouds of hypnotic, cold haze swirling with piercing guitar tones created from the natural atonal surge of overloaded feedback. Oh, the beauty of despair.

The keyboards and percussion are stretched deep within valleys of reverb and lock into dark, steady rhythmic patterns which lay a dense, sonic soundscape for what’s to come. The guitar lines are propelled snaky, semi-agitated and psychedelic into an unsure, shaky foreground. I don’t really know how they nailed it, but the vocals, whenever they do actually make an appearance, are lost somewhere in the space created between the fuzzed guitars and dubbed out rhythm base.

Moon Duo – In the Trees

You like Ayler? You like Velvet Underground? You like Suicide? Or you just can’t stop collecting that Wooden Shjips-related material? This is for you.

Just a quickie today! This is going to be a section devoted to looking back at those lost songs and great tracks we’ve forgotten about or missed altogether! That being said….

Here’s one of the most hands-down hooky tracks that has been produced out of the Triangle in the last few years. It was home recorded in a basement (or bedroom) to fairly cheapish equipment by some super enthusiastic high school kids a couple years back. It’s influenced by the Ergs/Modern Machines brand of pop punk/rock’n'roll. There’s even a bit of early-era Alkaline Trio influence keepin up appearances. It’d also be a shame to not mention that they were using that same punchy/catchy prescription the Marked Men were known to employ. This is the Begin-Agains, a sadly all-too-quick flash of a band that would get booked an almost every DIY show a year or two ago. Keep in mind though, this is NOT just for those of us that like the punk or the poppy punk, this truly is one of the best kept secrets of the local indie & pop music scene from the last 3 years.

The Begin-Agains – Breadcrumbs

Today, Ben Carr is finishing up his senior year of high school over at Durham Tech. Already his new band, a duo with drummer Ian Rose called Last Year’s Men, has opened up for the King Khan & BBQ Show over at the 506 to great praise. I’ve also got about half of that show recorded to cassette if anyone wants to hear it. That was actually only their second show playing out up to that point! It’s amazingly well-written and melodic throwback garage in the vein of BBQ (Mark Sultan) with nods to the great Greg Cartwright. These influences inherently make the songs heavily influenced by 60s fratrock and Phil Spector-era pop resulting in great fuzzy, reverb-drenched hook-laden garage pop. See ‘em!

EDIT: Catch Last Year’s Men tour kickoff show on Saturday, March 6th at 404 Broad St. in Carrboro! (with Madeline Ava.)

Every now and then I get to perform exorcisms. A customer drops off a (usually out of print) LP and I get to lift the evil sounds of that lost rock, funk, soul or unholy punkness right off that ungodly piece of possessed wax and reassemble, nay, trap them onto a clean, smooth digital CD. Clean enough again for the consumption of the righteous. I might not necessarily agree with my actions, but you do what you must do.

Last week I got to transfer a Willie Hutch LP from 1975, two years after he wrote and recorded the earth-shaking soundtrack to “The Mack.” Hoping to just re-purchase it on CD, the gentleman had brought in the LP to show me exactly what he was hoping to find. For some reason the CD was let to disappear into the ever-growing, ever-hungry, seedy underworld that we will from here on out refer to as the Alleyways of the Post-Print. Errrr, it’s outta print. Has been for a while. The LP is “Ode to My Lady,” a smooth crooned, slow-funk tribute to something he couldn’t quite shake from his mind. His powerful, though sometimes hushed vocals conjure memories of Sam Cooke and multitudes of other amazing Motown greats (Hutch put out a handful of records on Motown). The guitar playing is perfect and hooky with that slick ease of funk guitarists who know and respect their instrument, that Curtis Mayfield style. All in all it was a fun LP to transfer – something that I might not have gotten a chance to hear otherwise!

Since I Found You Everything’s Alright
Ode To My Lady (great instrumental!)
Love Power
Talk to Me

Enjoy!

HUNCHBACK – 7/13/2008 @ BCHQ, Durham, NC.
Recording of Full Set.

(played with the Ergs, Drowsies and Begin-Agains.)

Having used two of their pictures from the same show in the header there, I figured Hunchback would be the most appropriate band to kick off this section. Trekking down from their home town of New Brunswick, NJ, the group swung through Durham with the Ergs on a random, slow and sticky Sunday night in July. Way back in the way gone days of 2008.

Taking huge influence from the early days of Touch & Go Records, Hunchback plow through noisy, chaotic psych-punk inspired by classic-era Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid and late-night horror movies. This was a truly fine evening as temperatures inside the cool-less, brick heating box of the BCHQ building sent a sweaty haze through the crowd and t-shirts stuck immediately to skin upon stepping across the threshold. A scene ripe for any slasher flick. In no way could the atmosphere itself have been more perfect as the band pulsed and surged, crashing reckless through their paranoid dark squawl. Surprisingly, a picture was able to catch some of the chaos contained in this 25 minute set – that would be singer/noise-synther Craig attacking singer/guitarist Mike with a walker in the middle of the audience while screeching into the mic hanging from his mouth. Curious?

Hunchback – Full Set 7/13/2008

Sadly Hunchback is no more. They are great people and they were an amazing band to see. They are forever sealed on tape, CD and LP though through Don Giovanni and Freedom School Records. Look into their other bands the Weird Fantasy Band and Black Wine.
