Drawn Blank Live at Sun Temple Sept. 18

Fast paced antics by Drawn Blank showcase smart lyrics with righteously shredded out riffs. Lead by charismatic DIY badass Grace Ambrose in collaboration with Jeffrey Ziga (Little Baby’s Ice Cream), Jon Shapiro, and Sean McGuinness (Pissed Jeans), Drawn Blank’s debut cuts off their EP, Controlled Demonstration Recording, possess an aggressive charm that’s difficult to resist or shrug off. The album’s introductory track “Opening Declaration” buzzes loud with angsty shreds alongside Ambrose’s riot grrrl diction à la Kathleen Hanna. Drawn Blank’s brand of rock/punk/metal is far from misinterpreted. Legit, short, and unrelenting, songs like “Working at a Job” and “My Life” prove that the far too often forgotten aesthetics of punk are alive and well in their latest offering. Sun Temple(Please contact one of the performers for more details), $5, 6pm, All Ages – Dianca Potts
