The Spits, Di Di Mau, Youthbitch, DJ Slim Chances
9 pm., Friday January 18 | $10.
[GUTTER PUNKS] The Spits’ entire 2011 12-track LP, V, fits comfortably on a single YouTube video. For those unfamiliar with the band, this should give you a pretty good indication of what to expect. Since forming sometime in the ’90s, partially in Seattle and partially in Michigan, the three-piece has amassed a devout following with its dirty, drunken yet surprisingly tuneful garage punk; half tongue-in-cheek, half fist-in-face songs with names like “I H8 Pussies” and “Piss on Your Skull” that rarely clock in over the two-minute mark; and a predilection for low-budget costumes and onstage pyrotechnics. So maybe also expect a few bruises, a hangover, tinnitus and a good laugh.
