THURSDAY OCTOBER 14th - CHOP SUEY
The Orphan Project, At the Spine, Martian Memo to God
At the Spine are one of Seattle's best kept secrets. Their debut album,
The Curriculum's Never Neutral, mixed Fugazi-like guitar precision with melodic alt-rock and edgy percussion, charting decent college radio play outside Seattle and garnering glowing reviews from the NYC and LA indie rock press. Live, ATS guitarist/vocalist Mike Toschi is like a jack-rabbit on crack, pogoing spastically across the stage and into the crowd, all the while managing to propel his oftentimes bitter songs to new levels of sonic intensity. With a new album scheduled for a late 2004 release, now's the time to catch this underappreciated local band. Joining them Thursday at Chop Suey are the energetic Orphan Project and Martian Memo to God, a slick new-wave-influenced punk band that’s been creating a decent buzz locally.
