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.
