Every once in a while a show comes up that makes you think, “Hot damn! That’s friggin’ awesome” or something along those lines. TONIGHT‘s show featuring Speedy Ortiz and Krill at The Beachcomber in Wellfleet, Cape Cod is definitely one of those shows.
In case you’ve been living under a rock this summer, Speedy Ortiz (Northampton, MA) has had a great season– their Carpark Records debut, Major Arcana, has received some serious love from everyone from NPR to the folks right here at the Boston Hassle. Musically, Speed Ortiz is hard to pinpoint. They’re pensive and stewing, they’re noisy and explosive, and their lyrics will bring you back to those times when you were oh-so-angsty but never quite able to articulate yourself as clearly as frontwoman Sadie Dupuis.
Krill has had a great summer, too. Not only did they release their latest (and extremely catchy) album, Lucky Leaves, but they’ve been killing it at tons of live shows around their native Boston to support it. Tonight’s show will be their last one in the area for a while– they’re headed out for an extensive tour in September.
Seriously, guys, this show is going to be awesome: Speedy Ortiz and Krill on Cape Cod on Labor Day weekend– just let that sink in. Be there! But don’t forget to carpool and leave early if you can. Everybody and their mama is going to want to go to this show, so traffic on the Cape will be insane…oh yeah, and it’s Labor Day weekend, too!
