Filthy Friends (All Cat Rose photos) |
By Andy
The rock was abundant as Corin Tucker, Peter Buck and their ultra-ace cohorts shifted Filthy Friends into overdrive at Madame Lou's in Seattle on Nov. 19.
They churned out a mammoth sound filled with copious hooks and melodies in the compact room, which was brimming with music aficionados from throughout the city. Buck, especially, unleashed a big-time guitar clinic and those up front had the perfect vantage point for full immersion and perhaps toted home some new chops to try out on their own axes.
Tucker ruled the front spot with her emotive, sterling vocals and gave her guitar a solid workout, as well. Tucker and Buck -- who are associated with a pair of bands you may have heard of (Sleater-Kinney and REM) -- were joined by guitarist Kurt Bloch, bassist Scott McCaughey and drummer Linda Pitmon.
McCaughey (guitar, vocals) and Bloch (drums) properly warmed up the stage for the Friends as part of the blazing Young Fresh Fellows (Mach III), which was supplemented by bassist Jim Sangster and guitarist John Ramberg. Hilarity abounded at one point as a drum kit was busted (and fixed) and heaps of heckling filled the air.
Yeah, I'll say it: 'Twas a fucking great night!
Here's a plethora of Cat Rose photos.
