trash flavored trash
Head Wound City features Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist (and Bright Eyes/TVoTR/Blood Brothers guest axe slinger) Nick Zinner, Jordan Blilie and Cody Votolato from Blood Brothers, and the Locust's Justin Pearson and Gabe Serbian. Head Wound City makes thrashy hardcore. Head Wound City will likely illicit the same opinions that the members' full time gigs do: you'll love them or think they make horrendous noise. I quite like it, although I still think the Locust is horrendous noise. Their debut EP should be out in three months, and was according to Three One G, "written and recorded in a week's time. (That same week you stayed inside mostly, jacking off to Suicide Girls and IMing your idiot friends.)"
Check out an mp3 courtesy of the label here.
For the record, Suicide Girls is a little too goth for my tastes. Also, my friend Matt just said this about the Locust, and I feel I have to share: "I think the Locust just emulates the sound white belts make in the wild." Truer words have never been spoken.
Apostle of Hustle play the Red Room June 21st. Tix on sale now for a mere $10 + charges.
This year's Vancouver Folk Fest is shaping up to be pretty decent. I'm usually scared away by the combination of drum toting hippies and SUV driving Kitsalano yuppies, but I think I might endure Friday (July 15th) night this year. So far, Feist, Sarah Harmer, and Buck 65 are scheduled to perform.
The Calgary Folk Fest ups the ante by hosting Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Stupid Calgary.
now playing: Sleater-Kinney - Modern Girl

I'm still holding out that Tweedy might get added to the Vancouver bill, since he was a "last minute addition" to Calgary...
on the other hand, a roadtrip to Alberta is looking quite tempting as well.
It is , i did the roadtrip thing last summer for 3 matthew good shows.Very tempting to do it again.
