It's going to get loud.
JEFF the Brotherhood headline a superb
trio of rock bands at Club Cafe Sunday, two from Nashville and one from right here.
First up is Pittsburgh's own Shaky Shrines. Is you've been to any of the city's better rock concerts in
recent memory, you've probably seen them perform: they opened for
both Reignwolf and Cloud Nothings over the past few months. According
to their website, they play “bad trip cemetery psychedelic garage
rock.” The
Pitt News gave their debut LP, Mausoleum,
a B+, and they do a pretty good job of breaking down exactly
why Shaky Shrines is one of the better local bands around.
Up next is the unfortunately named
Diarrhea Planet. I already had to promise my girlfriend I wouldn't
buy myself a shirt with their name on it, but the jokes on her: I
didn't say anything about buying her a
Diarrhea Planet shirt.
The
band hails from Nashville, and they perform with not one not two not
three but FOUR guitarists. I've heard of the three axe attack, but
this is just ridiculous. It'd be easy to dismiss them as a joke,
especially with songs like “Ghost
with a Boner,” but if there is a joke to be made they're the
ones that came up with it. In an interview with Noisey
they said their original goal was to be “the worst band ever.”
Ironically, as their popularity increases and they treat the music as
seriously as any other band out there, all the media wants to talk
about is their name. Their PR describes them as “The Ramones
holding Van Halen hostage with an arsenal of fireworks and
explosives.” Here they are performing a set on KEXP:
JEFF
the Brotherhood headline. The Nashville duo played
Pittsburgh last May, at Brillobox. The two members, Jamin (drums)
and Jake (guitar) are actual brothers, unlike those liars in the
Kopecky Family Band. They started to play together in high school. It
didn't hurt that their father, Robert
Ellis Orrall, is a successful singer and producer in his own right.
The
brothers put out a string of loud, scuzzy albums and finally made a
name for themselves in 2009, with the release of Heavy
Days, their
fifth LP to date. Soon after they put out a live album through Jack
White's Third Man label, and its been an upward ascent ever since.
Here's the song “Sixpack” off of Hypnotic
Nights,
their acclaimed 2012 album produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black
Keys:
Right
now JEFF the Brotherhood is on tour in support of a new six-song
covers EP, featuring renditions of songs by The Pixies, My Bloody
Valentine, and more. Tickets
cost $15 and are available through Ticketweb.
We
have a pair of tickets to give away for this performance. To enter,
simply email us at pghmusicreport@gmail.com
and put “JEFF the brotherhood” in the subject line. We'll
announce a winner Friday afternoon.
