The Blood Brothers

Can you believe The Blood Brothers have been around for 10 years? In that time, they’ve progressed from a thrashing young hardcore band to something entirely more avant garde and artful without ever losing their essential spaz. Here’s the video for “Set Fire to the Face on Fire” from their recent Guy Picciotto produced album, Young Machetes:

The Blood Brothers play the Capitol Hill Block Party Main Stage @ 6:30 pm on Friday, July 27th. To see the rest of the lineup and get more information on Block Party, visit the Stranger’s Block Party page here.

STILL the best NW band of the decade, and I am stoked (blowing my own horn here) to have been the first writer to write about them, even if for some mysterious reason they declined to let us use their amazing song 'The Shame' on the soundtrack for 'Cthulhu'. (Guys??) Buy the records, learn the songs and rock out, or be stunned into silent stillness by how bafflingly new these guys sound the first time you hear them live. Hopefully they won't be playing in searing afternoon sunlight like the last time at the Block Party a few years ago.

avant? well...it kinda was if you were in/or heard everything coming out of San Diego in 1992 when "this" happened the first time! but no one considered it "avant." Art terms/pretense were pretty laughable, even as lots of scene kids @ the time were/had been expressing themselves artfully...but it was very, very second year...um, art schoolish. This kinda action was still too close to Hardcore in terms of being willfully populist/working class, so to call it "art" was insulting, to most it was still hopeful middle class revolution. Contemporary art context of these later bands still playing 1992 might better be considered as Pop Art, since at this point their version is more like a fun/well crafted caricature or cartoon.
