Obits - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
Featuring Rick Froberg from Drive Like Jehu / Hot Snakes and members of Edsel. A little like an older wiser Hot Snakes maybe. Where the Hot Snakes were all pent up aggression, and wild thrashing garage stomp, Obits traffic in something much more measured, but no less rocking. Still garage-y and super stomping, but tighter, more varied. Froberg sings as much as he howls and wails, the guitars here don't just crash and clang, they shimmer and twang. There's definitely a surf element; the drums crisp and tight, the guitars spidery, and crystalline more than crunchy and heavy. Sub Pop Records.
Fists - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Fists are an English indie rock band based in Nottingham, UK. Fists describe their music as "an ever-shifting amalgam of indie rock, lo-fi, punk, rockabilly and 1950s pop experimentalism" and cite The Breeders, Jonathan Richman, The Monks, Daniel Johnston, The Velvet Underground, The Ramones, Clinic and Joe Meek as influences".
The Homophones - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
Indie dream pop from Philadelphia. "A lo-fi Smiths? A hi-fi Beat Happening? The Homophones can lead you somewhere really artsy, dreamy, and lush."--CITY PAPER
