Good stuff tomorrow night at local vegan restaurant, bar, and de facto freak flag flyin’ headquarters The Swan Dive (which has a website now).
Curstillistas, hailing from the Pine Tree State (that’s Maine, ya’ll), are a mysterious and mercurial collective who amalgamate soaring, sunny rhythms with totally schizophrenic instrumentation. Freak folk, yes, but there’s also a visceral accessibility and pulsating, aquatic vibe that makes you feels comfortable while it secretly slips LSD in your earl grey. These dudes are enlightened. They’re on MySpazz, of course, so go see ’bout them. Recommended if you dig Os Mutantes’ more chill repertoire, Benoit Pioulard, and High Places with a touch of Bark Psychosis. Broken twang folk dudes Little Gold and the gorgeously sparse and spacey western haunt of Egret (who you should look out for on the next round of Kentucky Fried Psychedelia) round out a totally fucked acoustic evening. Should be wicked, especially on a crisp fall evening with a body buzz. More info at Joel Hunt’s place.
Speaking of Maine, Phillip Bailey at LEO is reporting that Gucci Mane will not be playing in town next week because his ass is in jail. That sucks. It looked like I could’ve scored free tickets. “LOL Smiley Face,” with Trey Songz and the Soulja Boy, is the third best song of the year. The second is “The Be Colony” from Broadcast and the Focus Group. And the best is Das Racist’s “Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell.” That’s what’s up, folks. That, and the show info below:
