The Velvamatics are at a good start. That’s weird, ‘cuz I’ve been seeing them (not in this configuration) for two years and now they’re at a good starting point. It’s reasonable, they’re seventeen. Their garage rock climaxes at its noisiest, and with a few less repeats they’d be handling some nice fuzzy econo-rock.

We need more. Over two hundred kids sludging through their first week back to school and letting it go on Friday night. The enthusiasm was encouraging. Apparently some people aren’t jaded enough to stand stone-faced, half-dead while fluid fun is discharged at the front. If these kids start to show up when You Say Party isn’t playing maybe Abbotsford won’t be so unbearable.

Debut show for The WCB! Since I’m in them, I can’t review them, but I can comment on how satisfying it was being a total asshole. I felt really tired during our set, but in the last song I managed the energy to fling myself into the crowd, knocking over a couple of the kids who were just standing still until that point. If someone wants to review our set, that would be super rad! Email me!
