And You Thought The Dead Milkmen Were Hard to Listen To
Some time in the not-so distant future a married couple, let's call them Space Tim and Laser Karri, will say to each other, "let's pop in that Lightning Bolt music prism we used rock out to when we first met." Massive ear hemorrhages will ensue. Luckily they'll have nanobots to stop the bleeding.
Lightning Bolt, if you haven't already run for the hills, is an experimental/noise/metal duo from Providence, Rhode Island. The drummer, Brian Chippendale, is a founding member of the now-defunct Fort Thunder comics/art/screen printing collective -- a group whose influence is still felt in the current indie comics scene. Chippendale collaborated with Bjork on her new record Volta, which is out this week.
If you made it past Lightning Bolt, you saw Dan Deacon -- a sort of indie electro dork with a new record called Spider-Man of the Rings. I'm digging his spazzy, Devo-influenced act.

Thanks, Gus. Now I have a comic I can write.
The Mind-Bending Adventures of Space Tim and Laser Karri!
You said Bjork so I watched the whole thing. That guy was great! Space Tim will show Brian to LAser KArri later. And she will laugh at me.
Anything I can do to make the Dead Milkmen more palatable to your aged ears.
