[ATTENDED: November 15, 2023] Say Sue Me

I knew about Say Sue Me because they are on the Damnably label with Otoboke Beaver.   I assumed they were a similarly wild punk band, but I hadn’t gotten around to listening to them.

About a week before this show, Otoboke Beaver sent a message that Say Sue Me was playing nearby. So I listened to a few songs, loved them, and grabbed a ticket.

Say Sue Me are from Busan, Korea and they sing most of their songs in English (lead singer Sumi Choi says they feel less personal and invasive to her that way).

They set up their gear (and used Party Nerves’ drums) and were ready to go after about fifteen minutes.

And as soon as they started I was so happy that I grabbed a ticket and arrived early.

I loved their bouncey sound and the delighted attitude of the whole band, (more…)

[ATTENDED: November 15, 2023] Party Nerves

I found out about this show very recently.  When the show was announced there was no opening band.

Then a few days ago it was announced that Party Nerves would be opening.

Party Nerves is a Philly band who plays rocking surf guitar instrumentals.  They reminded me immediately of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (the band who made The Kids in the Hall theme song).

They were funny (when they spoke), self-deprecating (this is the most people who have ever hung around after we started playing) and basically ripped through 11 songs in 30 minutes or so.

They put out an EP last year and a new single (which is all of 30 seconds) this year.  They played most of their EP but clearly they have a bunch of new stuff as well.

Admittedly a lot of the songs are samey–I mean, it’s instrumental and it’s all kind of reverbed and riff-based.  But each guy is really good and the riffs are tasty.

30 minutes was pretty perfect for me to enjoy their stuff without getting overwhelmed by the surf vibes.

According to bandcamp, the band consists of Pavlo – Drums, Woolly – Guitar and Mike – Bass.

Party Nerves is a great opening act, check them out! (more…)
