Bad News . . .

Today I get this creepy email from Google, who owns Blogger, saying that we can no longer put "copyrighted material" on blogs. All of the MP3s I've linked to are hosted on other blogs, so I'm not sure what's the issue. All of the MP3s links, along with the other music links, have been removed until further notice. I am still in the process of taking them all down. Needless to say, I am not happy about all this.

North America/Birthing Nets @ Comet Ping Pong

This past weekend I had the good fortune to catch North America's CD release show with Birthing Nets. North America features several members late of Bad Lieutenant, one of whom, bassist Dave Kellermann, also played in psychedelic/grunge outfit Fallout, one of my favorites from the early 2000s suburban Baltimore scene. Birthing Nets features Aaron Waesche (ex-If; and Salad) on guitar and vocals and Tim Shaw (ex-Thinking Toys, also ex-Fallout and Salad) on bass. Birthing Nets play noisy, thrashy post-hardcore that makes frequent use of atonality is only a few steps shy of total chaos. As I noted to a few friends of mine, it's highly reminiscent of the early '90s San Diego scene that produced bands like Clikatat Ikatowi and Drive Like Jehu. North America are similar in style, although cleaner and more melodic, bearing some progressive rock and math rock influences. North America are one of the first groups I've heard in a while that put the complex, King Crimson-derived guitar lines of those heady influences to good use in their songs, often to moving, emotional effect. The show was a good time despite being advertised as starting at the wrong time. Both North America and Birthing Nets have CDRs out on Defective Bat records, which I reccomend checking out.
