Music: Fuck Knights
By Mike Breen
If
you’d like to have your face blown off, but don’t want the cost and
mess of a shotgun to the mouth, head to The Comet in Northside Friday
for a free show by volatile Minneapolis trio Fuck Knights. The
explosive band — which features former Cincinnati musician GD Mills
(that’s Sir Getsalottapuss to you, buddy) on stand-up drum kit and
vocals — has been winning fans in the underground with a powder-keg
brand of Punk Garage, merging the three-chord stomp of pre-Punk
Nuggeteers with the ruthless velocity and in-your-faceness of early
Hardcore brats like The Meatmen. With whiplash guitar from Sir Fuxalot
and pummeling bass by Lord Ballahag, Mills, er, Getsalottapuss,
unleashes a fury of breakneck beats and distorted, howl-at-the-moon
vocals. For those missing the simplicity, velocity and immediacy of
classic Punk Rock, if your ass isn’t at The Comet Friday, you may just
as well go shopping for that shotgun anyway. Free.
Get show details here.
