Monster Island Basement is hosting Frankie and the Outs tonight with Harlem and Stupid Party. Frankie and the Outs is another exciting garage rock adventure for Frankie Rose, formerly of Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts. Frankie is writing slick pop music for the rock and roll side of the lo-fi spectrum. Similarily, Austin's Harlem, following in the footsteps of the Strokes and the Pixies', has collected an enormous amount of critical acclaim over the past few months from a slew of respectable blogs including local blogs like Brooklyn Vegan and Pop Tarts Suck Toasted (two of my faves). And last but not least, Stupid Party has received a veiled but enthusiastic series of reviews from underground blogs for their energetic garage punk. Stupid Party has been around for a while and knows how to put on a show. I tend to think that Harlem has a brighter future than either of the other two, however the three bands will combine to make a solid lineup that will deliver at least your fill of garage rock awesomeness.
