Show Preview: Pity Sex and Solids @ Holy Mountain (Tonight)

Leave a comment

holyRarely do you get to start off your week with such a bad ass show, but I’m really excited for tonight’s gig over at Holy Mountain.  You’ve got a couple of solid openers in Costumes and Gang Sign, but there’s also one of the most overlooked bands of the year jamming strong, Solids.  Their album Blame Confusion is this boisterous bombast, and I highly encourage you to get out now and get yourself a copy of it. Then the night gets closed out by Michigan’s Pity Sex, who offer up a shoe gaze-y version of rock n’ roll; they’ve got the ability to go loud, or pull back with a little bit more melody. This is the perfect way to kick-start your week, and lose a little hearing.

 

AMENDMENT: Pity Sex have had to cancel their slot due to traveling issues. So now Solids will headline!

Let’s face it, we can all use a good pick me up, emotionally speaking.  It may sound a bit off, but sometimes escapism is a simple solution, albeit one that might be short lived.  In that case, I can’t think of a more uplifting way to spend tonight than surrounded by friends at Mohawk watching Young Girls.  Their music reminds me of the innocence and purity in indie pop, where lyrics are simple and hooks collide.  They’ll be joined by Gang Sign and Single Lash, so the energy should be high, and the music should be rad.  Let’s make the best of things the only way we know how.
