CHIRP Night w/ Paul Cary, These Wonderful Evils
3:00 pm

CHIRP Radio is a non-profit, volunteer-run, music-, arts-, and culture-focused radio station transmitting live 365 days a year at chirpradio.org. This monthly benefit concert (on 2nd Mondays) features a rotating cast of CHIRP DJs and live musical performances.
 
Formerly of the Horrors (In The Red Records), Paul Cary has ventured out on his own. A little wiser, a little more jaded, but always a rocker. His new album Ghost of a Man was half recorded by Mike Lust at Fantom Manor and half by Johnathan Crawford in their practice space at Clown Town. Like Mr. Cary's previous work, Ghost of a Man is a lo-fi garage rock gem. Not to be missed.
 
These Wonderful Evils bring fuzzed-out raga jams, taking off from Sun Araw-styled sorcery and pushing out into the heavy-meta realms of Sound Of Confusion-era Spacemen 3. Something in the way guitarist Zak Boerger blends folk forms with high energy improvisations and amp-humping sweat makes us think of Trans-Love Energies and if you’re able to connect the dots from The Stooges and MC5 through John Fahey and John Coltrane, then this is the kinda music that has your name all over it.
