[DID NOT ATTEND: March 1, 2024] Wax Jaw / Life in Vacuum / Porcelain
I have recently discovered the Philly band Wax Jaw and I am mildly obsessed with them. They recently posted that they have existed for one whole year. In that time I could have seen them six times, but only saw them once. And I am looking forward to seeing them again.
The confusing thing about this show is that I have seen two posters for it. The one on the right implies that Porcelain arethe headliners. The one below implies that Wax jaw are the headliners. What to believe?
I already had plans for this night and I didn’t want to give them up for a 20 minute Wax Jaw set. Although it does sound like Wax Jaw is headlining.
Well, I already had plans. Plus, Wax Jaw is playing in Bethlehem in a few weeks anyhow.
Porcelain is from Austin. Post-Trash says
The quartet of Ryan Fitzgibbon (US Weekly), Eli Deitz (Dregs, Votive), Steve Pike (Exhalants, CSSS), and Jordan Emmert (Super Thief, Pleasure Venom) bring a great deal of experience together from different pockets of the city’s noise rock and punk scene, the pieces coming together to create something better than the sum of it’s parts.
I’ve never heard of any of those bands. I like the sound of their music but I don’t really like the singer. I bet they crush it live though, their drummer sounds like a maniac.
Life in Vacuum is from Toronto. Although Stereogum adds more details
Life In Vacuum are a band based in Toronto, formed in Ukraine, playing an aggressive form of indie rock that pulls from a few different subgenres. I hear some Fugazi-style post-hardcore and some Metz-esque noise-rock in the mix.
They play an abrasive thumping hardcore that’s lurching and unsettling. Probably amazing to see live.
Born Loser is a record label that Life in Vacuum is on. I gather someone from the label will be spinning songs from the label between bands?
I Just Read About That...
