VulGarrity, Doomriders and Thunder


I just stumbled upon this band and their myspace while randomly clicking on listing links in the listings page. A brother and sister combo (truthfully? I have heard that one before so I am not 100 percent sold yet) that swap instruments through the entire set and sometimes throughout a song. The sound is sorta Kills meets Cars...sorta. On top of all that...they are from Providence. Somehow I have managed to not see or hear these guys yet but I am intrigued. I am guessing that I overlooked their and due to the similarity of their name to the plethora of "-ity" death metal bands. Anyway, They have a show in Feb at AS220.
I found this video kind of fun. It is like an 80's Hall and Oates video gone gnarly. Not safe for work or kiddies due to the pile of fake murder.



Also, this weekend has these two shows (same night). I will sadly only be able to make one for obvious reasons.

First, THUNDER IN THE BUCKET.

Girls Rock RI benefit Saturday



GIRLS ROCK! 50 shows in 50 states benefit

The Ram
The Assembly of Light Women's Choir
Blood Sacrifice

The Girls Rock Camp Alliance (GRCA) "provides resources and networking opportunities for its affiliate camps, and promotes the establishment of like-minded institutions worldwide". Notably, the GRCA holds an annual conference for all girls rock camps around the country and around the world to meet up and talk about girls rock camp best practices. It's pretty rad. But they need money to put on this conference, so it's a huge help to both GRR! and camps all over the place if you can attend this awesome benefit show. It's at AS220. It's featuring The Ram (with Jenn and Jeannette from the GRR! Planning Committee), Blood Sacrifice (featuring Reba from Made in Mexico who is also one of our vocal instructors, and Chip from the Body), and the first ever performance of the Assembly of Light Women's Choir, run by Chrissy Wolpert (from Bonedust and Dr. F Yeah-- also one of our vocal instructors) which features local lady rockers, and even a few former Ladies Rock Campers! Sure to be a great time, and of course, it's a great cause. See you there!

Finally.... MULTIFORCE By Mat Brinkman



MULTIFORCE By Mat Brinkman $13.99
22 page 11"x17" softcover comic compiling all the Paper Rodeo strips. Recommended and awesome!


"At last, all of Mat Brinkman’s 2000-2005 comic strip serial Multiforce is collected in one volume at its original printed size. 22 big pages of some of the best comic strips I’ve ever seen. PictureBox scanned and carefully retouched these pages in collaboration with Brinkman. Come with Brinkman as he creates, explores and explodes his visual universe. Deeply personal, extravagantly visual, often hilarious: Multiforce is nothing short of a masterpiece. Big claim? I guess. But then, why not? Most of all, it’s an incredibly enjoyable thing to delve into."

"The pieces of the multifaceted storyline grow together and create a life of their own. The web that's fastened is a solid structure, a jewel that reflects each point of the story as it turns. Like some galaxy contained in an aquarium, Multiforce vibrates beyond the comic book page. Mat Brinkman may be the spiral architect of this generation of cartoonists."
