I’m lovin’ the resurgence/rebirth of The Notekillers! Besides that the NYC/Philly band straight-up effin’ still rock, it goes with my belief in the “ripple effect”, and how no matter how insignificant you may feel about a body of work, its influence has the ability to affect someone else inspiring paths that might not have been taken before. We doubt that David First and crew ever thought when they dropped off free copies of their 1980 7”, The Zipper, at legendary record store, 99 Records, as a last ditch effort to reach anyone that it would end up in the hands of a young Thurston Moore and friends influencing the sound of Sonic Youth and the No Wave movement. Well, you’ll have a chance to experience The Notekillers live tonight at Coco66 where they will be making plenty of noise with Nymph and Pigeons. – Q.D. Tran
