SS15 (Night 1): 100 Flowers, Spray Paint, Pony Time, Screature
For our 15th birthday, Ss Records will hijack the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco on Friday January 15 and Saturday January 16 (that is MLK Day weekend, for you who plan things in advance. It is also anti-tourist season in the Bay Area). This is what the line up for SS15 looks like:
Friday January 15
100 Flowers: The original line-up of this legendary band will be playing their songs. Morphed from the legendary Urinals, 100 Flowers made one perfect LP and a handful of stellar eps, singles, and comp tracks. They ended in 1983 and have since played only a handful of times, most recently for the reissue of their lone album on Superior Viaduct. This is the original line-up of the band 100 Flowers reassembled just to play SS15.
Spray Paint: Our Texas friends will be back on the West Coast recording with Chris Woodhouse, so I convinced them to do one show while they are here. Spindly avant-punk of the Nth degree, the yolksters always come through live. This will be their one and only West Coast appearance.
Pony Time: Luke and Stacy are Pony Time, a splendid and inventive rock & roll duo who remind me of the Troggs and Wounded Lion and something I have yet to figure out, which is why I am crazy about this band. They have two records on Per Se and their third will be releases February 2016 on Ss.
Screature: Shimmering guitar, brooding organ, stripped down kerplunk,a nd a hellish howl makes Screature the Central Valley's best band going. Their most recent album - Four Columns on Ss Records - has gotten raves from all around the interweb (Noisey, 50thirdand3rd, TheQuietus, etc.). Great live band, too.
DJ: Ryan Wells
