Guess what? Wow, how’d you know? Another killer band from Canada is on the radar and playing Neumos tonight for Noise For The Needy. The Constantines, from Ontario, have been making rock n’ roll spin on it’s top since 1999. Believe it or not, that was ten years ago. Living in this transitory day and age when a band you love rarely puts out an LP before breaking up and redefining their sound, you can bet that you’ll be getting the ripe fruit of The Constantines’ labor.

Crystal Antlers are a different story. Hailing from California they yell over guitars that wail and organ that lends a pleasant drone to their upbeat tempo. Their songs are neatly stitched together quilts of prog-rock, psychedelia, and punk noise. They’re touring for their new album, Tentacles.

At times I was really reminded of old-school Allman Brothers (I'm sure more than a few of you will argue with me on this) and the whole style was very classic 70's drug-infused rock.

I am jumping up to catch glimpses of him and every time I do he is wearing less and less and sweating more and more. He is dancing his ass off and so am I. We should get married.

Sub Pop's 15th birthday party show. Good music, shirtless Thermals. I knew this night was going to be magical.
