TONY ENGELHART: JAZZ VOMIT, OR SOMETHING >>>
Hard to peg this band â€" maybe Zappa meets Coltrane meets Sonic Youth? The boys of Poor School, without doubt, beat to their own drums â€" and don’t wear their influences on their sleeves. The Missoula, Mont., trio of Bryan Ramirez, Nathan Hoyme, and John Niekrasz takes jazz, puts it through a blender, guzzles it, and throws it up all over the studio floor. The band doesn’t have a set of rules â€" they improvise freestyle without boundaries â€" leading to 20-minute jams as noisy as cats screwing. Their first disc, Wiggwaum on Killtree Records, is chock full of throwing shit against the wall and seeing where it will stick extemporization. Definitely not for the faint of heart, Poor School is an acquired taste that might be too sour for some, but as sweet as a cotton candy for others.
Tonight, Poor School will play Le Voyeur in Olympia.
[Le Voyeur, with Rooftop Vigilantes, Eyes Like Saucers, 10 p.m., no cover, 404 Fourth Ave, Olympia, 360.943.5710]
