Screaming Females played to a (what the fuck?) one-third full house at the Triple Rock on a Friday night.
First band The Pinch played enjoyable surf punk. They've obviously been in other bands before, but this was their first perfomance as this band. The frontwoman played driving traditional rhythm on a Danelectro. Her blue dress and brown cowboy boots gave the impression that their surfing beach is actually out on the prairie somewhere. The keyboard player does Exene-style discordant singing.
A fuzzed-up distortion-pedal psych-rock revival is in full swing now. The (relatively) cleaner Dick Dale or Link Wray tone is historical root to later 60s psychedelic rock, and it makes The Pinch sort of, appropriate, to open this show.
Puppies And Trains is a Minneapolis power trio with a bit of math rock and post-punk fracture to it. The songs seemed very well written. They've got the hot and biting SG guitar tone. The bassist jumped around somewhat like a 40-year-old Tommy Stinson. (Which, actually, Tommy is himself now.)
The Underground Railroad to Candyland is a flat out dance-punk party band. They've got a keyboard player, an electric guitar player, an acoustic-playing singer/frontman, a bass player, and a trombone player. They all combine to create a fun jumping spastic racket. They seemed to have brought a number of fans there to see them more than the Screamales.
After the set was over, they put on The Entertainer - Theme, and the band all hopped around the stage like monkeys. This is Artistic Statement.
Screaming Females. Marissa Paternoster wore a plain black dress, with a bit of white trim at the collar. Plain dress nearly as in plain dress.
The stand-out song was Lights Out, second to last before the encore. It's always nice when one of your favorite songs turns out to be the energy highlight in a show.
At the end of the set, the Females (Marissa, King Mike) turned their pedals to squalling sustain, put their guitars in the hands of front row audience members, and walked off stage.
This is Artistic Statement. You, too, can get Marissa Paternoster virtuosic noise out of an electric guitar. The audience members did a pretty good job of it, up till the band walked back in for the encore.
Generally, though, the audience was pretty well comatose. A stand there and snap cell-phone photographs type of crowd.
This made the show an unresolved combination of a) a jaw-dropping amazing show, a show to always remember, and b) more just a solid professional show from a very good touring band, and I'm very glad I went.
