dear god i hate myself

The triple bill at the Opolis last night was 2/3 fantastic. Opener, Atlanta "sound artist & filmaker" Noveller, set an almost eerie mood with swirling, cavernous guitar loops. To get an idea of what I'm not describing adequately think Earth (only less heavy) mixed with the experimentation of Durutti Column.

Her beautiful mood was nearly obliterated by by power punk trio, Girl In A Coma. As much as I want to like this band, I just don't and why they were on this bill is totally beyond me.

Jamie Stewart and Angela Seo, Xiu Xiu, saved the night with the first desperate whispers of their opening song, a tale of incest and rape. The show built to a crescendo of painful hope and shame with tracks from older albums and a nice smattering f songs off of Dear God, I Hate Myself. I took some pictures, but found it hard to do anything but become totally absorbed in the angst pouring off the stage.
