]]> The Blind Shake “Live in San Francisco” 2015, Castle Face Records. We caught The Blind Shake last night at the Cactus Club in Milwaukee and they played many of the songs from this performance in 2013, including one of my favorites “I’m Not an Animal.” Furious energy with sounds ranging from serpentine swampy to, what I somewhat drunkenly tapped out on my notes app during the show, the bastard child of Jimi Hendrix and Jack White on a cocktail of ‘shrooms and amphetamines. Garagey, punk noise and surf all mixed tempestuously together by the Blaha brothers out of Minneapolis.

Besides “I’m Not an Animal,”  Live in San Francisco features another favorite of mine from their 2011 release Seriousness: “Hurracan,” as well as the title track, “Seriousness.” Also included are songs from the 2013 Key To a False Door: “Garbage on Glue” and “Porto Alegre;” “Wexford Scramble” from the 2007 album Carmel; and “Young Carnival Waste” from 2014′s Breakfast of Failures.

Opening for The Blind Shake were Milwaukee bands Devils Teeth (who wore all-white outfits in the mode of Captain Stubing from “The Love Boat” – complete with cap!) and Gallery Night. Gallery Night were especially killer: their drummer, Kelsey Kaufman, is outta control amazing. I found a clip of their performance opening for Thee Oh Sees – check it out!
