Mentioning Tangiers and DFA1979 in the same breath would normally make me feel nostalgic. However, after realizing that both bands have broken up years ago and have had a number of solo projects and offshoots, I’m getting alllllll geriatric up in this bitch.
Thankfully, with their new project Bad Tits, Sebastien Grainger and Josh Reichmann feel as sweet as they have at their most exciting Canadian underground-touring times, granted that they have their own reputations to live up to. Considering that Grainger’s previous projects were steeped in danceable hardcore and straight-up pop, and that Reichmann’s were of the garage rock persuasion, to hear and see something like the video for Bankok Hilton is pretty jaw-dropping–the first half sounds like it emerged from the shitgaze craze! Expect that song on the 7″ pictured above, titled Garbage Night on Hand Drawn Dracula and hopefully we can see some tour dates from them beyond Montreal and Ontario in the near future.
