I Kill Giants at We’re All Fucked Fest 12.21.12

By my calculations, Friday is going to be one of the worst days to go on Facebook, or the internet in general. So if you’re planning on avoiding what will be the worst social media blowout of the century, try going to We’re All Fucked Fest at Wilder Zangcraft in Lowell, MA instead. Doors are at 3pm and the show is celebrating the re-launch of Driftwood records and, of course, the end of the world.  The venue is small, so get there early to see touring bands, and later on see some locals including Old Gray (Manchester, NH), Jack Burton Vs David Lo Pan (Allston, MA), and The Navidson Record (Brockton, MA). One set not to miss at the fest is I Kill Giants (Boston, MA), who play math rock with punk and jazz influences. In great punk tradition, their release "We Can Live in the Exact Same Place" is a bedroom recording with 8 songs and barely over 5 minutes long. The album opens with some opera vocals, midway through fits in some spoken word, and features heavy tempo changing guitars and a great deal of hollering. Not a bad way to spend the apocalypse. – Hillary Anderson
