. . . click photograph to enlarge. . .This has been a week of a lot of rock and roll postings here, following weeks of art, politics, and general weirdness. One last one:
Our cousin Jimmy Curran's band, The Divorce, has just released The Gifted Program, their second album (the first: There Will Be Blood Tonight). Go see them! They put on a great show. Matt Schild, recently wrote on aversion.com: "Rock’n’roll is fun again. After losing battles to sappy emo, introspective indie and furious punk for several years, exuberant rock'n'roll bounces back with The Divorce's sophomore effort. The Seattle band's fiery power-pop won't turn back the tide of hipster-approved solemnity in all its rock'n'roll forms, but it ought to be enough to help scrape the ice off your cold, cynical heart."
We saw them play a short set last night at Sonic Boom in Ballard. Tonight they play The Crocodile, a bunch of radio shows, and then tomorrow night, a laser show at The Laser Dome at Seattle Center (with a laser show accompanying them). Cool. I'll be at The Crocodile tonight for sure, and maybe the Laser Dome tomorrow (I've never been to a laser show before).
