Permanent Night

Spine, Permanent Night, Stabler at Nelligan Hall There’s a new band starting up from members of Rattletooth, Late Ones, and Straight A’s. This is a lot more in the vein of Rattletooth than the other bands mentioned, so just forget that last sentence. Permanent Night has already recorded several songs with Trip at Treehouse Audio and put their demo up on Bandcamp for everyone to check out. Their first show will be on October 21st, 2012 at Nelligan Hall with Spine, Liars Parade, and Stabler.

A short list of attractions lined up for Friday (9/28) and Saturday (9/29) include the proto-doo-wop sass of Chain & The Gang led by DC legend Ian Svenonius (The Make-Up/Nation of Ulysses), a very rare performance from elusive Texan blues/folk outsider Jandek, the silky lo-fi New Wave croon of Tampa, Florida’s Merchandise (ft. members of the late great Cult Ritual), the bitingly sour, self-deprecrating social stabs of “World’s Funnyman” Neil Hamburger, live music by David Liebe Hart of Adult Swim’s “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job,” and as always, plenty of organically grown, freshly picked, fairly traded locals like Twin Sister Radio, Gangly Youth, and Kark, just to name a few…
