Concert Preview: More Friday night shows with Gore Gore Girls, Shipwreck, The Singles, Seven Color Sky and Science Fiction Idols

Plenty of live music options Friday night in Pittsburgh. In addition to the already previewed Georgie James at Garfield Artworks we also have these shows:

The Gore Gore Girls with The Vacancy , River City Tanlines and Test Patterns
@ The Smiling Moose


The Gore Gore Girls are from Detroit but it was Pittsburgh's Get Hip Records that exposed them to the world in 1998. They have survived lineup changes but their blend of 60's girl group melody and garage rock has remained intact.

GORE GORE GIRLS live at The Basement in Nashville, TN



GORE GORE GIRLS- UP ALL NIGHT





Shipwreck, The Singles, Like Summer @ The Brillobox

In 2006 Shipwreck from Illinois announced on the Internet that they would self-release four EP's in the following 16 months. They are on their second at the moment but currently writing and recording their third. They are visiting The Brillobox on a short tour of the Northeast.

The Singles actually have three other dates scheduled for Pittsburgh. Including April 14th at The Rex Theatre and May 12th. They play a very Anglo influenced power pop. Pittsburgh's Like Summer will apparently be debuting a new band member at this show.

SHIPWRECK - HOUSE OF CARDS



THE SINGLES - HYPNOTIZED


LIKE SUMMER - SLEEPING SOUNDLY




Seven Color Sky, Science Fiction Idols and The Aviators @ Club Cafe

Seven Color Sky were favorites on the now departed Pittsburgh Net Radio internet radio station. Fade is probably my favorite track. The song is from their 'Better Looking' EP, their first collaboration with John Ashton of the Psychedlic Furs. Ashton first noticed SCS when they opened for the Furs at the 2004 Three Rivers Arts Festival. He is once again working with the band on their new 12-song album.

The Science Fiction Idols disbanded in 2006 but Singer-guitarist-founder, Bobby LaMonde, assembled new musicians to create a new line-up of glam punk Idols. This seems like a weird but intriguing combo.


SEVEN COLOR SKY - FADE


SEVEN COLOR SKY - MARRY YOU - LIVE AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES
