I love these bands so much, I set up this tour for them, and I hope you will go enjoy them!
Times New Viking (Columbus, OH; Siltbreeze/Matador)
This band gets a lot of pub all over the internet, but it's well-deserved on account of their unusual combination of punk rawness, crucial anthemics, and sweet melodies and coed harmonies. That pre-homogenization era of indie rock circa 1991...Yeah, it's like this band came out of a time capsule of that era, too, only this one's about to turn your party loose into a full-bore fist-pumpin' singalong. I have also heard people say that TNV is "like a raw garage version of Mates of State" or something (I think there's some truth to that). http://www.myspace.com/timesnewviking
Little Claw (Detroit dudes (incl. one from Tyvek), Portland lady)
This band slipped past my radar long enough to sneak their first LP past me, but fortunately I got a hold of the songs due to appear on their second LP, which will be out soon on Ecstatic Peace, and now I just want everyone to be ready for their onslaught of caveman pounding, scrawling psychpunk guitars, and the stunning performance of a über-charismatic female singer with delicate yin and ferocious yang in her voice and her guitar playing. And sometimes it's all yang and no yin, and that's when Little Claw has the power to crush you. http://www.myspace.com/littleclaw
For those who care about this kinda thing...Yes, there are pretty ladies in these bands, too.

yes, if i may ask, why in the heck did they have to close?
Fire code compliance issues that have been known about. It was just bad timing. It might be 3-5 months to rectify.
