GOGOGO
AIRHEART
GoGoGo
Airheart, The Jai Alai Savant, Subtitle - Lounge $10:
If I
had to pick only one show tonight, it’d definitely be
the Gold
Standard Labs bill at the Mercury Lounge. Headliners
GoGoGo Airheart are finally starting to get the recognition
that they deserve after a decade of constant recording and
touring. Melding dub beats, bouncy grooves, and noise guitar
with a distinctive voice since the beginning, the San Diego
quartet offered what is perhaps their most ambitious effort
yet with last year’s with Rats! Sing! Sing!
At this point they’re one of the best things going.
Chicago come Philly trio Jai
Alai Savant offer a more punk and contemporary
update on the pop/reggae fusion of The Police. And you gotta
get there early because Los Angeles hip hop legend Subtitle
of Project Blowed fame is kicks off the festivities. Subtitle
deserves way more than the couple of sentences you find in
this recommendation for his unusual visionary take on music
which falls within the underground rock, experimental, and
hip hop lineages. Gold Standard’s package proves that
they got it going on more than ever. So,… go…
go… go…
