The masterminds at Vanyaland and Illegally Blind have done it again. Get out to the Middle East Upstairs tonight and get loose with this dreamteam of psych and gaze virtuosos. The glistening, tinny 60s-gone-punk jams of Guillermo Sexo (Midriff Records) will have you spinnin’ like a twister – and it’s their record release party tonight, so pick up a copy of their newest album Dark Spring and dig in. It’s also Marconi‘s last show; make sure you come to scoop up as much of their Wurlitzer-fueled psych-gaze as you can. Boogie Boy Metal Mouth is packed to the brim with rhymes and stalls, all set on a framework of spacy electronic drumbeats and humming, squealing synth tones. Doze strings together crunchy post-hardcore guitar riffs with rough bass and smashing cymbals to make something interesting and persuasive. And there’ll be sweet DJing between sets by Infinite Jeff! Get yourself Upstairs tonight and feast your ears on this buffet of sweet, sickly sounds!
