So this is the only band I’m very proud to say I stumped both Mike and Herb on, which obviously has to be some cosmic fluke in the record store spectrum. They were a killer Northwest 3-piece that used to open for Pavement back in the day, and that seem to be most famous among musicians for the fact that they weren’t famous at all. They crushed though, and I’ve been digging into their catalogue pretty hard. Their drummer unfortuantely died in a car accident in 2005 so they called it quits, but there’s been a push to complete a documentary that had been beign made about them. Which incidentally is how I first heard about them, so maybe it’s working. Either way, I’ve been super digging on their 2002 release Italian Platinum, and here’s one of my favorite cuts, the opener, “Don’t Survive.” One of my favorite lines: “And I love you means I hope you don’t survive the night.” Let’s hope I got this Youtube thing down.
