Meet 31 Knots, Tacoma

MATT DRISCOLL: HAS SOMEONE HE'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO >>>

This Saturday at www.myspace.com/sanfordandsonantiques ">Sanford and Son, www.myspace.com/destructionisland ">Destruction Island will release their debut CD, Destruction Island Preaches the New Wilderness, and they’ll be celebrating with a show that also includes Portland’s 31 Knots, and local favorites www.myspace.com/thesearmsaresnakes ">These Arms are Snakes, and www.myspace.com/tolsatd ">Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death.

I’m working on an interview with Destruction Island’s Kye Alfred Hillig as we speak.

But Tacoma should know 31 Knots is a pretty fucking top notch band. I came to appreciate their stylistically diverse and often unclassifiable racket during my winter of discontent in Portland. I even wrote a little something about them for the Portland Mercury. Here’s proof. I’m not sure if they’ve played Tacoma before, but if you’ve never heard of them, 31 Knots is definitely worth some attention.

Anyway, this show at Sanford and Son is going to kick major ass, and I’ll have an interview with Kye Hillig up on the Spew tomorrow to help you get pumped about it.

That’s all for now.
