greg ginn @ the moon this thursday, 5.22.2008

two bands featuring the man who arguably started the whole d.i.y. amerindie thang as leader of (sorry steve) black flag and founder of sst records will be at the moon this thursday, leading two different instrumental outfits (albeit ones that share some personnel). jambang sounds less like the grateful dead than any self-identified "jam band" of which i'm personally aware -- in fact, to these feedback-scorched ears, they come across more like, um, krautrock meets the raveonettes meets neil young or something, and apparently they also have some kind of freaky-ass visual accompaniment a la sub oslo. the texas corrugators (or "greg ginn & the taylor texas corrugators," to give them their full name) have a very beefheartian take on what purports to be western swing. kudos to steve steward for bringing this p*nk originator's latest musical brouhaha to the fort. just don't ask him to play "nervous breakdown" or "my war."
