MARK THOMAS DEMING: LOZEN AT THE JIVE TONIGHT >>>
And for my next trick I will write about an all-female band from the Northwest without referencing Heart or Sleater-Kinney.
Tacoma metal duo Lozen is an animal all its own, warranting standalone praise: a little bit Sabbath; a little bit White Stripes; a little bit Pat Benatar (Go back and listen to “Heartbreaker†sometime â€" it kills. For real.); and a whole lotta badass. Taking their name from an Apache woman-warrior and prophet, drummer Justine Valdez and guitarist Hozoji Matheson-Margullis play with a spirit the moniker implies. Their music is dark and dense, violent and visceral, but still somehow exudes femininity: chunky power chords give way to tantalizing flashes of fretwork, screaming to sensuality.
As with any great up-and-coming local act, don’t go see them because they remind you of someone. Go see them because someone someday just might remind you of them.
