Japanther with Screaming Females

SPACE Gallery
Portland, ME

After this evening's reading, Erick Lyle proves he's a jack of all trades and joins headliner band Japanther for a few songs. Part Screamers intensity, part Misfits anthemery, part RZA samples/beats and part Lightning Bolt art/freakshow, Japanther is one of the best, most energetic live shows around and we like them a whole heck of a lot. Last scene at SPACE opening for Ted Leo, Screaming Females are power-pop gone ragged. The New Jersey trio has only one actual screaming female, Marissa Paternoster, who Rolling Stone calls "2009's answer to Sleater-Kinney's 2006 breakup". Let's leave it at this: the band plays until they bleed, and then they play some more.
