June 2 @ Helen’s

Josh Small

Stomp foot howlin’ owl,
run, run, lil fox! Or yodel
gently through hard rain.

Dedication to:
Consolation. Fam’ly. String
that tie; oh, they tie.

June 6 @ Strange Matter

Lost Tribe

What next–make me feel.
Leather jackets off! Steady.
Wish I’d worn makeup.

Vaginors

Why is it always
insufferable douchebags
put on such good show?

June 8 @ Gallery 5

Unholy Thoughts

Almost got elbowed.
Hardcore. Headbang. Hair, no hair.
Maximum riffage.

Big Eyes

Play cards. Out all night.
Swim in vintage bathing suits.
Let’s be in movies.

Brief Lives
for Andrew Necci

Less like episode
of Beavis and Butthead than
this stupid haiku:

“Andrew, your hair is
so nineties.” “This band’s also”
-gasp- “nineties as fuck.”

Iceage

Circle pit… for this?
I get on with that. Makes sense–
in visceral ways.
