Girls Rock Camp Houston Christmas Benefit - Saturday, December 18, 2010

You know what Santa digs?
Rock and Roll!
Rock and Roll played by Girls!!!
So what better way to get on his good side than to help Girls Rock Camp Houston's 2011 program.


Saturday December 18th at Rudyard's we will have the crushing and unrelenting might of Omotai, the action packed all-star team of the Anarchitex (with members of The Pain Teens, Really Red, Happy Fingers Institute, etc etc. etc.) and The Linus Pauling Quartet (that would be us) playing selections from the upcoming 2011 double LP Bag of Hammers largely because we forget how to play the old stuff after a while.

There will be no cover but we will be taking donations all night. We suggest something like $7 -$10 but you can give more.

Your monetary contribution will help fund musical equipment needs (such as instruments, amps, PAs, guitar strings, ear plugs, etc.), materials and supplies for non-musical workshops, and scholarships for families who cannot afford to pay the full tuition to attend the camp. Happy Holidays.

First review for the new 7" is in....

Well it looks like the new single got some love over at Space City Rock. Jeremy Hart wrote:

"...First off, the Quartet’s track, “Monster,” eschews the band’s trademark thundering guitar attack (at least at first) in favor of a hypnotic, raga-sounding drone that brings to mind the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows,” of all things; definitely not what I was expecting, given the band’s general leanings...

The sitar-esque guitars, the repetitive riffs, the flat, Donovan-sounding vocals — put it all together, and you could be forgiven for thinking you’d slapped on the wrong damn record. But hey, they make it work surprisingly well...

The track comes off like Nick Cave doing some kind of half-sarcastic take on raw garage rock, and it’s frighteningly addictive."

Thanks Jeremy. We're glad you liked it.
