The Drug Purse from Tacoma, fusing the late Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones with dark, psychedelic pop â€" think Dandy Warhols â€" created shimmers and laughs last night during a brilliant in store performance at Tacoma’s urbanXchange. They are The Brian Jonestown Massacre without kicks to the head. They are Joy Division without the cold European sound of Eno-era Bowie. They are ensured relevance to the current teen-age dress-up period. They are the new Tacoma.
Here are a few pics from last night’s show.
Here's a shot of opening band Friskey, too.
Special thanks to urbanXchange owner Julie Bennett who snapped a few of these too. â€" Brad Allen
