“The other day a fight ensued. It was pretty stupid looking back on it but somehow in a storm of confusion Staggers punched Alex in the face. His jaw got smashed up. Staggers spent some 50 hours in jail. Alex will be wired up until mid March. He is on a liquid diet, and he obviously cannot sing proper.”

…and that was the last we heard until now. The So So Glos singer may still have a mouth full of metal, but that can only hold someone back so long. The spring is peeking out between the typically April snow storms, and Ray has finally emerged from his cave after a long winter’s work bearing the first Le Rug CD. Come check out the full LP, come help The So So Glos drink away all our troubles, and spazz out on the floor. It’s spring and the amps are humming…

[ LE RUG ]
“A pop music exorcism. Ray Weiss (also from Hundred Dollar Elephant and The Medics) channels post-punk fire from somewhere mysterious inside of himself. He must be hollow, because it couldn’t possible fit anywhere else. Double-drum dance solos, electric keyboard freakouts, tearing apart his guitar until he looks like he’s going to vomit… Le Rug starts off every set by doing a nose dive off the roof’s edge, and just keeps gaining speed until the whole room goes splat.” - [ SleepWhenDeadNYC ]

[ THE SO SO GLOS ]
“I live amongst the apathetic generation. The hippies without the politics, the punks without the attitude. What are we? Individualistic, pathetic, excuses for humans. We think that we’re something special, when in fact we are all beautifully mediocre. Incredibly so-so. We stand for nothing, care about nothing, talk a lot, and do nothing. Apocalyptic beings waiting for the end, and exploiting what’s left while we are still here. Making sure we look good as the world crumbles in devastation. I am as dim as the lights from the city, a fucking SO SO GLO. Just like you.” - [ The So So Glos ]

[KIRSTEN KETSJER - THE ROCK BAND ]
Not to be confused with Kirsten Ketsjer the female singer! These cute, quirky Danish people are only in town for the next month, so get it while it’s hot and state-side. I know their Danish website may be tricky to navigate, but, um, there’s not alternative…

[ THE BEETS - pfft. ]
“Their story truly is a punk version of the American Dream. They came, they saw and they conquered the charts, the airwaves and, with their kicky kitsch appeal, pop culture in general. For a while, the band was virtually inescapable: TV guest shots, magazine covers, high-profile concert tours and movie offers turned these two daydreamers into believers. Well, maybe none of this has happened yet but it someday will and with the addition of their new drummer, Anna Fuenmayor…Juan and Jose are setting themselves up to control the universe.” - [ SleepWhenDeadNYC ]
