World Famous In San Francisco

If you like The Television Personalities and the local noise weirdo scene, and you don't like the idea of going to Oakland on Friday to see Brian Glaze as you'll have to leave before he goes on anyway because you turn into a pumpkin around midnight, come check this out:



What, you can't read that flyer? Its tomorrow:
Jan 4th
Edinburgh Castle

This show is kinda neat because its a little all over the map. All The Young Children On Crack is a Television Personalities cover band featuring Andrew from The Passionistas. Also playing are Forever, whose bar room rock 'n roll we've mentioned a few times, as well as High Castle, Tea Elles, and Kool Teen which I don't know much about. Actually, I'm excited about Kool Teen, I keep meaning to see them and keep missing them. Kinda like how I keep missing Brian Glaze with his new band. Oh well, yay!

Cryptacize is an awesome band. Their name suggests a mix between Jazzercize and the Crypt Keeper. I'm not sure what they sound like, so I'm not going to make anything up. I am also not attempting to write their wikipedia entry, but I would like to explain where they come from. If I get anything wrong you can bitch about it in the comments.

Chris Cohen and Nedelle Torrisi were in the Curtains together before Cryptacize. Before that, Chris was a member of Deerhoof. Nedelle is a solo artist and has an awesome new record on Tangram 7s called "The Locksmith Cometh." Before her most recent album, she put out an awesome one called "From the Lion's Mouth" on Kill Rock Stars. Nedelle and Chris, as their MySpace explains, met Michael Carreira by way of YouTube. They watched the video below of Michael playing the cowbell, and after they all met in-person, they decided to start Cryptacize. Charming isn't it?

Cryptacize is playing Thursday at Edinburgh Castle. They will be surrounded by over one hundred balloons. Come out to see them.

I think we're going. Unless we go see them next week at the elbo room with fuckwolf. Be careful Shjips, you don't want to become overexposed like fuckwolf!
