From Sam....
Gawd!! I hope the walls don’t cave in on us THIS SUNDAY, Strangers!!
Sunday, May 13 will be the loudest Stay Strange yet!! Frank Melendez and Riververb! Also on the bill is the equally loud Actuary from Los Angeles. Plus a rare performance by artist Gerritt Wittmer.
SUNDAY, MAY 13-
RIVERVERB/ACTUARY/GERRITT WITTMER
THE KAVA GALLERY - 2804 KETTNER BLVD - 7PM - $5.00 - ALL AGES SHOW!
Riververb is always in a constant change, and I hear that the latest incarnation is the best so far! Judge for yourself! it’s some heavy stuff! Face morphing grinder sludge. Last time Riververb played, no slayed, the smoke turned black from monolithic chunks of acid-noise.
Actuary shake the shit loose! Los Angeles breeds some sick stuff and this by no means drops the ball. Not only are this tunes in your face, it’s in your skull too! Mean ass nitro venom. Gory!!
Gerritt Wittmer is an artist in the darkest sense possible. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing at this month’s Stay Strange, but if it’s anything like his performance at LUFF, it’s going to be scary!!!

Freedy Johnston - This Perfect World
by AK 09.20.06
A sad aspect to working in a used record store is seeing works which you hold in the highest reverence overflow the bin. Take Freedy Johnston's entire discography, for example. A venture to any used record store in the lower 48 will yield multiple copies of this, Johnston's third full length and Elektra debut from 1994. It touches on displacement, regret, and the screen version of Lolita. While you're familiar with a number of these songs from the Roy Munson homecoming scene in Kingpin, the entire album represents a solid experience. This album is filled with darkness, but the light of hope is never fully obscured. If you've ever purchased a Pernice Brothers album, put this on your list the next time you're scouring the used bins. Trust me, it'll be there.
