Latimer (With Or Without Their Names) Coming Back To Hammer Outback Jack’s
A paragraph of Latimer’s press biograhpy reads: “The names aren’t changed, we just left them at a bus stop in Spokane.”
The three members of Latimer were referring to the fact they dropped their first names after playing a show with label-mate Low Pop Suicide and Compulsion in Spokane in April.
“We did it right after that,” said singer-guitarist G. Doring in a recent phone interview. “We excommunicated a member, so it was kind of strange times at the time. We were glad that we did it but it was terrible. So, we just felt like being anonymous. That’s why we left our names there.”
Latimer musicians won’t likely reunite with their names when the band comes to Outback Jack’s on Saturday, but they will unleash their frenetic clamor.
The trio, born in 1991 in Philadelphia, shed its debut album “LP Title” for the World Domination label two months ago.
“LP Title” calls to mind the twisting lead guitars of the Treepeople, the angst-ridden excitement of Superchunk, the disjointed pop of Built to Spill and the noisy craftyness of Pavement. In other words, your record collection is begging for an album like this.
Cringe and Seven Days open.
Music starts at 9:30 p.m. The cover is $4.
Over at the Dipper
Punk will blare from the Big Dipper tonight as Dallas’ Hagfish and Spokane’s Fumes muscle their way into the club.
Hagfish, yet another punk band to surface from the deep underground caverns of music to the mainstream, released its major label debut “Rocks Your Lame Ass” a few weeks ago.
It’s a punchy album that doesn’t waste any time smacking the listener in the chops. The LP’s 14 songs barely clock in at 30 minutes.
Last year, the brash quartet was voted Dallas’ best live band by the Dallas Morning News.
At the Fumes’ camp.
A month ago, the clan released a four-song 7-inch on eMpTy Records called “Spine Tingling Excitement.”
The reception of this record was undoubtedly the most enthusiastic for the Fumes as “Spine” sold out of its first pressing in two weeks.
A second pressing of the EP, the Fumes’ fifth sole release, will be released soon. Some copies are still available locally at Vinyl Garage and 4000 Holes.
Speaking of new Fumes releases, the band completed recording its second album in Seattle three weeks ago. The album, tentatively titled “Take A Whiff Of This,” will hit the streets later in the year.
Music starts at 9:30 p.m. The cover is $4. Bring ID.
Catch the Tyson fight
Tonight, Mike Tyson laces up the gloves and enters the ring for the first time in four years as he takes on Peter McNeeley.
Two local sports bars, Double Dans and Finnerty’s Red Lion, will take you ringside for the closed-circuit bout.
The cost is $20 per person at both bars, pretty cheap considering Pay Per View charge is $49.95 if you order the fight today.
All-ages at the Woman’s Club
Three Christian punk bands, Bremerton’s MXPX and Portland’s Motormouth and Sappo vent their positive energy at the Woman’s Club on Saturday at 6 p.m. The show is all-ages. Admission is $6.
