Concert Preview: Pretty Girls Make Graves (final tour) with Moonrats and Call Me Lightning @ Mr. Smalls Theatre Monday May 14th
Seattle's
Pretty Girls
Make Graves will be playing Mr. Smalls Theatre tonight in what will be their
last tour. The band announced on January 29th, 2007 that they were breaking
up after Nick Dewitt – drums, samples, keyboards, trumpet and vocals -
announced he was quitting the band. The band formed in 2001 from scattered pieces
of Murder City Devils, Death Wish Kids, Beehive Vaults and Kill Sadie. They
released a debut EP on Dim Mak before releasing their first full-length Good
Health on Lookout Records in April 2002. The band signed to Matador Records
who released The New Romance in 2003 followed by Élan Vital in April
2006. The band's poppy punk with great hooks and catchy choruses appealed to
audiences of both modern day music like At The Drive In and classic alternative
like Sleater-Kinney.
Opening tonight's
show are Milwaukee's Call
Me Lightning who have a release, Soft
Skeletons, on Frenchkiss Records. Moonrats
are from Seattle/LA and most recently toured with The Blood Brothers and Celebration.
