So there’s this poster. What’s going on with that guy’s penis, anyway? It looks like one of those banner advertisements trailing behind a plane (what happened to those, btw?). Is this pose yoga-porn? Factoid: frontdude Gary Smith, who likes getting “fairly nude” on stage, moonlights as a yoga instructor.

Mash Hall (you know, the rap-rap-rappers who used to be They Live!) and Scraps will be helping PMPH celebrate the release of their 3rd album, Emerald City Dummies. We (I) told you about that shit-talkin’ video the band put out recently, so maybe a brawny beef will break out? Only time will tell, dudes, only time will tell. DON’T FUCK WITH THE HORSE.

The Buzzcocks at El Corazon

Holy Crap! I was truly astonished (did one of those cartoony, mouth agape, big-eye-blink thingys) when I ran across this in print the other day. The Buzzcocks in Seattle! Awesome! At El Corazon! Eh, not so awesome. But, really, the band trumps the venue (as it usually does), so I think I have to go to this. I really had no idea they were touring, but I guess with all the reissues EMI has put out this year, it makes sense. The legendary Manchester punk band will play their first two albums front-to-back, Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites. I bought Love Bites for the first time a few months ago, and I think it’s spot on.

The band’s rhythm section has changed over the years, but guitarists Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle are still ably ampin’ up their axes. Cocks get buzzed Wednesday June 2nd at 8pm.

Listen up kiddies! This two piece band from Portland is going to play you achingly beautiful songs. Songs that soar with a multitude of instruments and layers of sound. The group consists of players Kevin O’Connor (drums and loops live) & Lisa Molinaro (viola live). I saw them open for Sleepy Eyes Of Death a couple of weeks ago and was completely blown away. At one point during the song “Tides in their Graves” Kevin got off the stage and walked through the crowd playing the last part of the song on his melodica. It was the perfect ending to the song and made the crowd stand still in silence. They are playing (to my knowledge) by themselves at Nectar Lounge on June 4th. I will be there. That’s for sure.

Thunderheist, the powerpop duo from Toronto, wrote what might possibly be one of my top 5 ass-shakin’ist tunes of all time. Jerk It came out last year on their self titled release which was riddled with lots of other dancable hits full of rhythm, flow and neck breaking beats. Should be an intense show in such a tiny venue. Enjoy!
