Vancouver- Supercity of Amazing Female Punk/Grunge

I was lucky enough to catch White Lung play here in Sacramento on Wednesday- wow, way to rock my socks off! Reminded me of the Gits the whole time they played. Perhaps part of it was related to the fact they played at the axewave manor- a basement, but either way they blew me away. And apparently also their guitar, it broke two strings, effectively ending the show, unfortunately. Is grunge coming back into fashion? Probably not, but maybe it never died in Vancouver.


Nu Sensae also has a new record out, TV, Death, and the Devil, which is equally awesome. They played here in Sacramento at the Sol Collective and were very good- but I like White Lung's fuller sound more, personally.

Just a Broken Bone

goodbadmusic has an excellent summary of the Tooth and Nail compilation I played last Saturday. Particularly poignant is how they say it's one of those records where when you put it on, "you totally focus on the sound, the songs and you wish you could shoot it all up your veins, sniff it, eat it, breath it, drink it". Not because I feel the same way about this compilation, but because I feel that way about a large number of songs; at the moment it's the track "You ;- think!!" by This Poison. It's just one of those songs whose sound waves I wish I could crawl inside and stay for even a little while. Since the scans of the lyrics on the goodbadmusic site are so tiny and awful I scanned the lyrics sleeve we have. They're posted at the bottom of this page, click the thumnail for a bigger picture.
