Dead Meadow, The Slip, Mobius Band, Psychic Ills, DJ Child Labor, DJ Image - McCaren Pool Park FREE, 2 - 8PM This is
a little more like it. Despite two heavily-pushed fair-to-midland
next-big-whatevers thrown fittingly in the middle of the bill, the
two east coast rock institutions at the bookends of this show make
it totally worthwhile. Headliners Dead Meadow, who helped change
the heavy rock landscape a few years ago, still capture my attention
and I’m sure are still capable of losing you in a perfectly
loud afternoon. Then, in the middle, are jam band The Slip and the
Boston-to-Williamsburg migrants Mobius
Band, whose poppy electro-laden post-rock sounds interesting
on paper, still haven’t managed to do much for me. But, of
the entire bill I look forward to the opener Psychic
Ills and anyone who reads this rag knows that I’m
a huge advocate. The Ills’ uniquely groove-laden mindblow
sits at a blurry intersection of Red Krayola’s Parable of
the Arable Land, Can’s Ege Bamyasi (but really are all over
that band’s map), and the shoegazer canon. Go
here if you want to get more in-depth with my review
of their brilliant full-length debut Dins. And in broad
daylight once again. Consider me there early. MEDIA: ALSO TONIGHT:
