I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: October 2, 2025] Tropical Fuck Storm / Eraser

I love Tropical Fuck Storm and I want to see them every time they come to the area.  I was pretty psyched when they announced this show at Underground Arts.

And then I realized it was the same day as the Stardew Valley concert that I had bought tickets for like 8 months ago.  My wife loves the game and the music and there’s no way I wasn’t going to go to it.  So, I had to blow off TFS.  Which is a bummer.  But Stardew was wonderful, so it’s all good.

Eraser is a noisy Philly band.  I don’t know if you’d call it No Wave or just good old fashioned noise rock, but that’s what it was.  They play simple melodies and then go nuts making wild sounds and playing bizarre chords.  The keyboard is pitched to what was almost a toy keyboard sound–tinny and noisy, playing usually one or two note melodies like early new wave bands.

They make a good opener for TFS, but they’re pretty out there.
