Tonight Tonight in Music: Pat Jordache, The Blind Shake, Police Teeth, Mutiny Mutiny

The Blind Shake, Police Teeth, Mutiny Mutiny

(Sunset) Sometime Line Out freelancer James Burns, who's seen Minneapolis's the Blind Shake a number of times, once described their sound as "a whole new scorched-earth Billy-Childish-meets-Hammerhead" and "the A Frames on PCP." Internet footage corroborates, and if those aren't convincing endorsements, you may want to consider staying in with a cup of chamomile tea tonight. Speaking of Burns *CONFLICT OF INTEREST*, tonight is the triumphant return of his band Police Teeth, who are back from a national tour in support of the excellently parched and brash punk of their latest release, Awesomer Than the Devil, out now on Latest Flame.

Future Songs - PAT JORDACHE by Constellation Records

Pat Jordache

(Black Lodge) Recording for the prestigious Constellation Records, Montreal's Pat Jordache forgoes that label's predominant epic-post-rock approach for songs that strike with immediacy. His primary mode resembles that of a low-budget Of Montreal—danceable glam rock gussied up with nonchalant flamboyance. There's a winning, modest hamminess about Jordache's persona that's not too far from Edwyn Collins's, and he accentuates it with a sure handle on accessible yet uncloying tunesmithery. DAVE SEGAL
