Quartet / Mecanikill / Baptizer / Orgavin

One of a number of Heaven v. Hell nights around the state, tonight sees the
forces of Light represented by long-running harsh-noise allegory CLANG
QUARTET and GSO's politic-minded dub-industrial complex BAPTIZER. Further
perpetuating the stereotype that at least Hell will have good music, the
forces of our Southern Lord will be represented by the head-nodding bangers
from industrial techno demons MECANIKILL and ORGAVIN. Music at 9:30 PM!

Sat 08/06 Last Year's Men / Dan Melchior und das Menace / Wild Wild Geese ::

Top notch local rock'n'rocal show with the fuzz-edged wooo-pop of the wilder
WILD WILD GEESE space-poppin' skyward and rock-rockin' all night, sir. Come
early(ishh) for the menacing post-punk GARAGE of DM & DM, fresh off a trip
to Primavera Sound and sporting a handsome new drummer... the new stuff on
Siltbreeze has a healthy dose of Tretetam-style sound collage noise
weirdness and upstairs-crank crotchety that might spill out into the
otherwise rockin' set tonight.

Wed 09/07 Wooden Wand and The Briarwood Virgins / The Gum Creek Killers :: 9
PM

Wooden Wand is the ongoing project of James Toth. Fresh on the heels of a
tour with the legendary Swans and quite possibly his most critically
acclaimed album to date, Death Seat, out on Young God Records. The new
incarnation of Wooden Wand is a country-tinged, full-blown rock band, backed
by the Gum Creek Killers, which includes members of ex-Verbena and Through
the Sparks. Their debut album Briarwood, due out this fall, was recorded in
primitive country style -- four straight days at Homewood, Alabama’s Ol
Elegante Studios. Touring as an 8-piece band, this will be a rare
opportunity to see James Toth in his new incarnation. Toth has toured with
Swans, Silver Jews, Devendra Banhart, Sonic Youth and has released
recordings on Kill Rock Stars, Rykodisc, Ecstatic Peace!, Three-Lobed,
Troubleman, and more.
“Wooden Wand's contemporary contributions to songwriting tradition have
produced some great work, but on Death Seat he has excelled himself.” - The
Wire
“His characters are round and puzzling, not just sour. He uses bitterness
not just as a good look but as a method of getting inside his characters.” -
New York Times
