Explode Into Colors This Wednesday @ The Crocodile

Posted by on Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 1:03 PM

I'm a sucker for drummers that play standing up. Rachel Carns is my root.


Portland's Explode Into Colors has TWO drummers. Only one of them stands up, but I'm okay with that because the one who sits down is wicked fun to watch. The band includes members of Japanther and Kickball and another who dances with postmodern choreographer Janet Pants; ergo, the band's amalgamation of gritty guitar, video projections and movement lends their live show a multimedia feel. Lyrics? Yeah... those are hard to decipher but the songs muddy the waters of disco-punk and garage and make you wanna bop.

Explode Into Colors plays the Crocodile this Wednesday, November 11th. They're opening for Mission of Burma, who have been cranking out post-punk since I was born and are no doubt worth seeing in their own right.

Well then, you probably got down on one knee to proposee to the Coconut Coolouts, cause they have TWO drummers that stand up!

It's compensation because they both sit when they pee.
