Screaming Females fire right down the middle between Husker Du , Damaged Black Flag and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and occupy more psychic space as an irreducibly solid three-piece than bands several times their age and weight combined. There are many gerunds that begin with 'S in English and they use the ten best in every set. Their newest Power Move is out now on Don Giovanni. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

One of our favorite New York City bands, Shellshag , have announced that they have been signed to Don Giovanni Records this morning. Previous efforts from the band have been released on their own Starcleaner label, but this move should mean bigger and better things for the duo. Though their new album won't be out until February 9, 2010 (I suspect that date is subject to change), Shellshag will be hitting the road with Screaming Females, and the tour dates are listed below. Shellshag/Screaming Females tour dates : Jul 31 2009 - Oakland, [...]
Northside Festival | Day 3 | June 13, 2009 With shows going on from afternoon to well into night, Saturday was clearly the big day for the Northside Festival. Maybe it was because there was just more going on or maybe it was because I just happened to pick some not-so-popular acts to catch, but I ended up feeling the night's theme seemed to be a sparse crowd attending a show from a great band. Shellshag : [...]
Well, Murphy's Law caught up with me last night and my best laid plans all went awry. Considering the night I had I was lucky to catch these two bands at Sneaky Dees. I had started out wanting to see Five Blank Pages at the Mod Club but due to hang-ups, confusion and traffic snarls, I didn't get there until after 10:30. When there was no indication that a band had played or was going to play, I asked and was told that a band would be coming on about 11-ish. At quarter past eleven I [...]
Monday, May 25 Concord Ballet Orchestra Players , Mind Yeti, Atomfoam & Greg Sun at Charlie's Kitchen ($"cheap", 9:00, 21+) I've still yet to see CBOP and it's a fuckin shame because I just keep hearing about how awesome they are. Mind Yeti features members of B.E.A.R.D . Atomfoam is Adam of Peace, Loving and he's playing with Greg Sun of Manners . Seems like Charlie's is becoming the place for unique once in a lifetime shows with this one and last week's [...]

I went to a show last night at the Jerk house in Sunset Park and I got there kind of late, figuring that house shows never start on time. I was wrong about this one and ended up missing the first three bands. I did dance into people excitedly for a long set by Shellshag , but unfortunately that couldn't make up for the fact that I missed Blake Schwarzenbach's new band play a surprise set. I'm not sure what the band's called and [...]
