COME OUT AND SEE MY BAND!! This was taken from http://www.turducken.net/productions.html. Show starts at 9 pm and it's 18+ so bring your ID!! Zykos, The Quails, Ruby Doe, Ratslayer and the crackerjack horse killers Friday November 14 Mermaid Lounge www.ratslayer.cjb.net Ratslayer is an improv comedy art hardcore band. They consist of drummer, guitarist, 2 singers, and a guy on megaphone. www.thequails.com Jen Smith, Julianna Bright (Electrolettes) and Seth Lorinczi (Circus Lupus) make up the politically savvy, San Francisco based band THE QUAILS. The Quails are exciting, eclectic and interesting; sounding like a cross between Sleater-Kinney and the Dog Faced Hermans. They've toured with their friends Errase Errata, Sleater-Kinney and Aisler's Set and have 2 records out on Sara Jaffe of Erase Errata's own label Inconvenient. The Quails next release is coming out in October 2003 on Mr Lady. therubydoe.com Math rock doesn 't have to be a purely clinical genre,operated by musicians long on brainpower and short on emotional range.Seattle 's Ruby Doe construct angular melodies with the precision of skilled sonic architects,yet searing through the center of every song is an overpowering passion with intensity to burn.The band elevates the classic DC hardcore aesthetic with modern textures,whether that means touches of a noisily aggressive shoegazer-style buildup or tempering an otherwise blistering rock track with the more sedated sound of a string section. www.zykosmusic.com These 5 native Texans make a mix of rock and pop that's totally addictive and entirely danceable.
