Garage Schlock: The Sellwoods, the Primate 5, the Mants
Recommended
Don't Miss
There’s guaranteed to be no reverb indie-rock wannabe cocaine poseur-ing tonight. Instead, we’re gettin’ treated to proper trashy garage sounds of just barely in-tune Silverstone guitars and drum fills that’d make free jazzers jizz jazz freely. The Sellwoods, from PDX, are, in my opinion, the current top regional garage band, as they have a way of teeterin’ and totterin’ like they’re perfectly “tight, but loose.” As for the rest of tonight’s no-counts, Seattle’s “they’re NOT monkeying around” the Primate 5, plus a fab “bug rock invasion” care of Canada's the Mants.
