“”Deleted Scenes’ recent album, Birdseed Shirt, often sounds as if it’s been gently glazed with cold medication, but that doesn’t mean it’s creatively sluggish. All that fine-tuned, morose reverb and space opens up on a band that has enough subtle craft to explore everything from its mopey side (“Get Your Shit Together For The Holidays”) to psych-rock aggression (“Mortal Sin”).”

“It’s been five years since we last heard from Washington, D.C.’s Medications. Devin Ocampo and Chad Molter formed the band from the ashes of Faraquet, and on the group’s debut EP and first LP, there was a clear tension between the knotty, agile post-punk of their former group and a more pop-informed tendency. Five years later, drummer Andrew Becker has moved on, and that more melodic side of the band has won out. Perhaps having to cover the drums as well as the guitar and bass put the remaining duo in a more studio-oriented frame of mind, but whatever the reason, there’s more layering here, and a much greater focus on tunes, resulting in the band’s best album.”

1) Well the Green Room had a pretty bad fire on Sunday. We are working on moving our shows to a new room, but can not guarantee that all that were booked will be moved to other rooms. Thanks to everyone involved in that place, it was great while it lasted.
2) On a much brighter note… we are doing a huge show at the Rialto! Stay tuned for all the details.
The show we are doing at Casa on Tuesday is shapping up to be pretty cool.
While Jamie Thompson is presenting his recently transplanted project “The Small is Beautiful” to our fair town, David Mitchell will be celebrating the release of his 3″ on local label This Quiet Army.
Flist will be warming up for his C.D. release June 2nd at Club Lambi.
