Music Menu / News Music Menu (4/14/09)

Holy Ghost Tent Revival Praise be, but somebody tell me when these banjo-fueled revivals have finally simmered down. Lest we be accused of party-pooping on this group of Greensboro jump-blues and ragtime partisans, we're all in favor of the young'uns discovering music whose roots transcend, I dunno, The Strokes, but for anybody with some miles on 'em we've jitterbugged 'round this maypole before (Squirrel Nut Zippers anyone?). Still, these cats do not lack for live energy, and last year's studio debut, So Long I Screamed, had enough songwriting nuggets to suggest that once they tone down the shtick – several members are theater vets, and you can tell – good things await. With Philly's Hoots & Hellmouth. The Evening Muse (John Schacht)

MDC The band's debut 7" (in 1981) was titled John Wayne Was a Nazi. The Cali blokes have since released and toured their toxically political hardcore and punk nuggets with a few periods of intermittent inactivity. MDC (Millions of Damn Cops, Multi-Death Corporation, Millions of Damn Christians, take your pick) have been spewing guitars-blasted, vocals-thrashed, lyrical bombast that still shakes the girders of gin joints around the world with nary a care for trends – musical, political or otherwise. Also on the bill are Embrace the Kill and Dirty South Revolutionaries. Milestone (Samir Shukla)
