Holy shit, it's getting closer to TIG's Inauguration Day party, which is coming up in just four more nights with Ed Wang, Benjamin Bear, H is for Hellgate and Friday Mile.

I'm going to write about one band each day until the big event (which I booked to coincide with my upcoming thirtieth birthday).

Ed Wang is a powerpop, power trio who have some of the catchiest harmonies around, especially layered on top of a tight rhythm section. I love the harmonies on songs like "You Used to be in Posters" and "She's So Metal".

Unfortunately, I couldn't locate any YouTube-y goodness to post here but if you're a fan of rock in the vein of Superdrag, Superchunk, Guided by Voices and You Am I, you'll love Ed Wang as much as I do. Check them out on their MySpace page.

Ed Wang plays with H is for Hellgate, Benjamin Bear and Friday Mile at TIG's Inauguration Day Party on Tuesday, January 20 at Chop Suey. $7, 21+.
