Idaho has been the butt of many jokes over the years â€" at least from me.
With guys like Larry Craig out there â€" representing the potato state in the sanctified halls of the Senate, of all places â€" it looks like I’ll have plenty of fodder for years.
However, from time to time, Idaho produces something that can’t be crinkle-cut or shaped into tots, something worthy of more than a bathroom stall reenactment or farmyard sex punch-line.
Finn Riggins, who will hit Le Voyeur on tonight, is just such a phenomenon.
Finn Riggins is from Sun Valley, and classify themselves as an “experimental/indie/post punk trio.†If anything, it only goes to prove Finn Riggins knows just how ridiculous it is to try to fit every band into pre-shaped boxes. It doesn’t work, and it leads to classifications like experimental/indie/post punk.
For the most part, Finn Riggins has their recipe. Start with one part warm, familiar rock riff (original, but not TOO original). Loop that sucker until it’s creamy. Add a few beeps and bloops. Throw in some synth to up the retro factor. And top with often indiscernible and convoluted lyrics. Bake on high.
Next thing you know you’ve got a steaming oven full of Finn Riggins.
Mmmm, tasty.
And pretty damn cool. â€" Matt Driscoll
