This rock'n roll evening put on by Perfect Youth at Pub 340 in Vancouver is gonna be a horrible racket of the most blissful anxiety attack-ridden noize punk. Driven by a taste for mutant strippers and fallout snow, the A-Frames are a Seattle three piece who cram the likes of Karate Party, The Scientists and Stickmen with Rayguns into their own discordant damaged mess, blastin’ it 'til it's white hot, and their experimental drone splatters right up into your eagerly awaiting face. Together since 1999, they have released three full-lengths (the latest on Sub Pop) and have put out numerous seven inches, each caked in their unique lyrical style of bleak, dystopic gloom. On the bill with the A-Frames, serving up some local “horrible noize” of their own are Shearing Pinx and Modern Creatures. Both from Vancouver, these two are at the forefront of the city’s bizarro collection of experimentally-abrasive punk bands. Shearing Pinx is a three piece inspired by the likes of early No Wave Sonic Youth and their friends Modern Creatures, also a three piece, sound like something along the lines of a chewed up Patti Smith, intent on brashly sucking up your innards through a straw. Check it all out this Saturday the 24th at Pub340 in Vancouver.
And here's a video for the A-Frames for "Memoranda," produced and directed by the one and only Monty Buckles...
