Parkay Quarts at DC9
Parquet Courts escalated their war on nomenclature by headlining this show as Parkay Quarts while also playing with a new lineup. So is this the same Parquet Quarts or isn't it? Because they've played shows as PQ with the classic lineup before as well. So maybe the original lineup is PC but also PQ-A and this is PQ-B, which is half of PQ-A plus two new members. Therefore we can state that:
PQ-B = ((PQ-A)/2)+2 = (PC/2)+2
On a related note I hear that regular Parquet Quartz drummer Max Savage is busy taking grad level math courses. Once he gets done solving for P perhaps he can explain to me what the hell is going on here.

Nude Beach at Black Cat
One of the nice things about seeing a band you've seen before is that you notice things you missed the first time. For example Nude Beach's lead singer looks a lot like Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop. As a photographer I notice things like that. As for their music, I really liked it. I enjoyed their music and analyzed their appearance. So much better than doing the reverse. Anyway despite adding a guitarist their basic sound hasn't changed so see previous review or just check out...

King Tuff at Black Cat
Although King Tuff is now on Sub Pop records he used to be on Burger Records. This fact probably would not shock anyone who is familiar with that label. Musically he reminds me of Burger-buddy Nobunny, particularly his singing style. They're both a bit on the high-pitched side and both have a delivery which comes across as not entirely serious. He sings about banging your head to the music but not in the same way those metal guys do. It's more of a tongue-in-cheek sort of thing. I'm not saying that he isn't a serious rocker, but his music is usually about having fun. And boy, the crowd sure did have a blast as this show.
