If you don’t know who the Gibson Brothers are, or why this is a big deal, this piece Mark Wyatt wrote for us will give you some background on the band. The Gibson Brothers haven’t played a show for 18 years! That is two years less than 20. dbr:MyBloodyValentine(band) dbc:All-femalebands.
Scrawl plays every other year? Maybe even less than that. Scrawl was an American indie rock trio based in Columbus, Ohio, and active from the mid-1980s.
New Bomb Turks play 1-2 shows in Columbus every year, if you’re lucky. Save the date: Saturday, July 10.Įach one of those bands headlining ALONE would make this a special event, but having all three under one tent is just insane. Headlining (in no particular order) will be New Bomb Turks, Scrawl, and The Gibson Brothers. This year’s Parking Lot Blow Out Surly Girl, hosted by the Columbus Music Co-Op is bringing out all the big bands of yesteryear for one huge event. Wussy will be joined by Columbus counterparts Moviola and Birds of Hair (featuring Scrawl’s Marcy Mays). While I’ve been a fan of Cleaver’s since first hearing the quirky-twang of “Earth to Grandma” coming through the speakers at Used Kids in the mid-90s (and later seeing the Meat Puppet’s-ish “Little Bastard” on MTV! Oh, what a glorious day that was!), the new Wussy release, Strawberry (listen to – and buy – on Bandcamp), is something I’ve returned to over and over on the iPod in the last 2 or so weeks – the passion between Cleaver and Walker (as ex-lovers, as current songwriting partners) so natural, the voices playing off each other so beautifully.įortunately, with Wussy headquartered about 120 miles southwest on 71, we’re luckier than most and get somewhat regular shows in Columbus though Saturday night’s show at Ace of Cups is somewhat special, serving as a CD release party, of sorts. To be fair, Cleaver’s not the sole songwriter in Wussy, it’s a collective effort with Lisa Walker (guitar, vocals), Mark Messerly (bass, keys) and Joe Klug (drums) contributing their fair share. One wouldn’t expect the heavily tattooed Cincinnati songwriter to produce his best collection of songs this late in his already highly-prolific career, but that’s exactly what he’s done with, in my opinion, the best release coming of out Ohio in 2011. Harshe majored in classical piano at Ohio State University in Columbus she also played bass in a hardcore band called No America, then joined Mayss half-jokey. Between the Ass Ponys and Wussy, Chuck Cleaver’s got 11 or so full-lengths and countless EPs and singles under his belt. After this interview was conducted, the band had a long, rough career in the 90s, weathering the collapse of Rough Trade US, releasing albums on Feel Good All.
