BLANK DOGS
Some of you have been having some trouble finding your way to dB’s recently, which is a crying shame really. Yes, it’s a little out of the way, and yes, it’s been raining a lot. But the line-up at this grungy little venue in Utrecht is often more than worth the bike ride. Tonight’s treat features Blank Dogs, the enigmatic solo project of Mike Sniper. Mr Sniper is also known for founding the awesome label Captured Tracks (Wild Nothings / Beach Fossils) and with his alter ego Blank Dogs he plays dark wavy post garage pop music that will please the hell out of fans of bands like Dum Dum Girls and Crystal Stilts. Also playing is Burial Hex. A drone/noise project of Wisconsin-based Clay Ruby, who describes his music as “‘horror electronics’ to prepare for the final mystery in the twilight of the Kali Yuga”. Is that you saying Amen? I sure think it is.
