Tonight, following a holiday event celebrating all of the great local businesses on Grant Street, head down the block to the Gypsy Parlor for noise band, Guerrilla Toss with support from a definite cavalcade of great local acts.
Guerrilla Toss is a Boston-based post-punk act, layering yelping vocals atop complex polyrhythms and harsh distortion. And, for good measure, the rhythmic yelping is often cut through by explosions of noise and chaos. This music is punishing in the best way. You can hear their most recent album streaming here.
While not as cacaphonous as Guerrilla Toss, Blanche Blanche Blanche is still just as chaotic. Combining synth and frenetic vocals, the group can be best described as the sonic equivalent of living as a pinball.
Rounding out the lineup locally is the extremely dexterous All of Them Witches, who have built a reputation over the years for almost superhuman feats of hand eye coordination (seriously, I once saw the guitarist play a guitar and a bass at the same time and I am pretty sure he did better at both then two musicians playing them individually). Finally, a serious contender for best band name, Fleshy Mounds will also be playing and they sound like a band named Fleshy Mounds would be expected to sound (and I mean that in the best way).
Guerrilla Toss w/All of Them Witches, Blanche Blanche Blanche, and Fleshy Mounds.
