It was a Sunday night party for Yawn Mower / Pig Rypper drummer Biff Swenson at The Saint. An extremely well-curated bill helped ease the transition from weekend to work week even if I am kind of exhausted today.
Howell lo-fi surf rockers, Grand Mariner, kicked things off and were impressive as usual. Dentist played to a large and enthusiastic crowd and didn't disappoint. New drummer Rudy Meier is fitting in quite nicely. Philly's Dogs On Acid (ft. members of Hop Along, Algernon Cadwallader, Snowing) are riding on the recent release of their excellent self-titled debut and blew away the crowd with their DIY, 90s-influenced rock. Wreaths filled the room with their psychedelic noise and included a take on The Cult's classic "She Sells Sanctuary." Swenson and Pig Rypper led The Saint in a huge sing along as they ripped through faithful interpretations of the best of Weezer.
Things went pretty late; and, as CoolMom and I made another unsuccessful attempt to get CoolDaughter #2 riding her two-wheeler early this morning, I was definitely dragging a little bit. It was worth it, though. Anytime you see any of these bands on a bill, make sure you check it out.
Here are highlights from all of last night's sets. You know where to find the rest.
And here are some additional shots of Dogs On Acid, taken by Dentist's Emily Bornemann.
