[POSTPONED: May 4, 2020] Pottery / P.E.
I saw Pottery open for Fontaines D.C. and was really impressed by them (I actually enjoyed them more than Fontaines because the Fontaines crowd were jerks).
Pottery were weird and cockeyed and really fun. They have an EP out that is only online. They have a full length coming out soon.
I didn’t know they were touring until recently and I probably wouldn’t have gone to this show because I’d have had a show the two nights in a row before it. But I’m pleased to know that they were coming and that they are going to come back when things settle down.
P.E. is a band formed out of the band Pill (who I’ve not heard of but who were a skronky and intense DIY art-punk band). Three members of Pill have gone on to form P.E. The song I heard “Top Ticket” was a propulsive thump, strung along by drill whirs and Torres’ snotty deliver: “I want the top ticket/ Nothing average, nothing contrived/ None of that consumer-grade shit.” Noisy and weird, a pretty good fit for Pottery.
