Lavender Flu, Home Blitz, Garden of Love @ Sott

Presented by Celluloid Lunch / Suoni Per Il Popolo

Lavender Flu is a killer band from Portland OR, ex members of The Hunches and Eat Skull. Psych/ heavy trip moves to lilting pop. Trance like approach to the wide ass canon of left field pop musics.

Home Blitz is from NJ/NY and a master of powerpop specificity but married to the uncanny, the glitchy. Evoking the Homosexuals, birtish folk and big modern pop at different times or sometimes all at once.

Garden of Love is Jane Harms new unit. Best and most inventive rock band in Montreal at the moment. tightly wound up songs played off the rails with frantic synth guitar, lead bass and a drummer fighting the tempo for his life. Vocals squawked and sung like Dave Thomas inhabitting Grace Slick's throat.
