Police Teeth @ Neumos

I like Police Teeth more every time I hear them, and luckily I got to hear them last night. Yesterday was so busy that by the time I was able to head to Neumos for the Police Teeth / Akimbo / Fucked Up show I was afraid I was going miss Police Teeth’s set. Luckily, I arrived in time to catch most of it, and though the crowd was still thin so early in the evening, I hope everyone else there enjoyed it as much as I did. Rather loud, mildly spastic, and always having a good time, Police Teeth are a joy to watch, and their punk-pop-rock-garage-fuzz music transcends genres and offers fun times for everyone.

Also, their blog is really hilarious.

The Whip @ Chop Suey

The Whip, an electropop band from Manchester, England, traveled a long, long way to make Seattle dance, but last night at Chop Suey they achieved their goal. As the band worked themselves into a sweat, attendees churned on the floor below, and I watched one audience member’s tall blonde mohawk change from red to blue to red as he boogied beneath the blinking lights. Seattle, you do shake your booty sometimes after all!

Listen: “Trash”

Listen To This: High Class Wreckage

High Class Wreckage makes big, sexy music. Full of thumping bass, growly vocals, and fuzzy guitars, they seem half seventies rock, half Mudhoney, and one hundred percent – to quote their MySpace page – sweaty fucking rock and roll. Live, they give their all, rocking their hardest even to a small weeknight room, screaming, rolling on the floor, and offering levels of hair-swirling not seen since the demise of Iceage Cobra. Luckily, their concert schedule is packed – offering eight shows between now and the end of April – so you have plenty of opportunities to see this spectacle for yourself.

Listen: High Class Wreckage, “Cash Fight”

Listen To This: Constant Lovers

Thursday night’s Showbox headliners – a little band called the Murder City Devils – were amazing, of course. But the evening offered me the added joy of falling in love with openers Constant Lovers. The group created complex, layered music, their sometimes-growling, sometimes-soaring vocals anchored by heavy drums. With two, three, or even all four of the band members regularly wielding the sticks, the percussion is dense and almost primal, causing your body to respond instinctively. Constant Lovers hit me in the very core — and I loved it.

Listen: Constant Lovers, “Jawbone”

Sweet, catchy, and totally appropriate for the weather in Seattle today.
