Mt St Helens Vietnam Band Wants You to Save Marshall!!

July 31st, 2008

So, apparently, the best way to save Marshall is to catch the Mt St Helens Vietnam Band show TONIGHT (Thurs July 31st) at Neumos. This is the big Seattle debut for the band who is differentiated from many bands primarily by the fact that they are dedicated to improving their community and the world. This effort is no better proven then by their Public Service Announcements on some hard hitting topics like Homiostasis and Borin’ (which are absolutely hilarious). Another - more concrete difference - is the band’s unique elements. Namely, the band is comprised of family and best friends. A husband and wife, with the husband’s adopted younger brother serving as the band’s drummer (and he’s 13…really). Plus, 3 of the 5 band members (the husband and his two best friends) spent time together in another Seattle band, In Praise of Folley, and decided to put all their eggs in one basket and focus on promoting the crap out of their first show. That includs carting in a bus-load of their friends - literally - they chartered a bus and are trucking in some BIG fans. So you can expect the place to be lit up with excitement tonight.

Oh, and before I forget to mention, and the music is killer too. Fans of Man Man, Wolf Parade and the Kinks will eat this stuff up. Have a little listen to Who’s Asking from their upcoming EP, Weepy, for yossef.

So tonight, in their freshly sewn uniforms, Marshall (the 13 year-old) along with the other 4 members of Mt St Helens Vietnam Band will be bringing you the hit, you now know and love, and make their world debut!
