SURVIVAL KNIFE HUG CONTINUES >>>
Between Timothy Grisham and I, the Weekly Volcano has given Olympia new band Survival Knife a lot of love. It's justified. The quartet is taking the local and global music scene by storm.
While at the time of my last interview with Survival Knife, the band didn't mention an awesome tour. It has just been recently announced Survival Knife the band - featuring two former members of Unwound - will be touring with Seattle's alt-pop Modest Mouse.
"We know some of the folks in Modest Mouse from years ago around Olympia and Seattle and we have mutual friends that run some of the business aspects of their operation, so I guess it just stemmed from that," says Justin Trosper, vocalist and guitarist for Survival Knife and founding member of Unwound. "Modest Mouse opened up for/played with Unwound years before they got to be big."
The tour kicks off April 10 in Oakland, Calif., with sold-out shows throughout California and Arizona.
Trosper says he's stoked to hit the road once again and looking forward to "hurting people's ears and brains."
Wednesday, March 20 will be your last chance to get your brains and ears brutalized before Survival Knife hits the road. The band will play with Deathfix (ex-Fugazi, Chain & The Gang) and Lois at Olympia's all-ages venue, Northern.
NORTHERN, W/LOIS, DEATHFIX, 8 P.M., ALL AGES, $7, 414 1/2 LEGION WAY, OLYMPIA
