Aftermath: Jay Reatard Keeps It In His Pants at Walter's
Alongside lo-fi blues-punk wranglers, the Oblivians, Jay Reatard has become a legit Memphis indie legend. As he entered the stage, Reatard turned up the amplified distortion to throbbing ear-rattling levels, using the whirred vibrato to underscore his visceral trio’s aggro-minded assault.
With only drums and guitar this band creates a ruckus of noise and power their alternative punk-esque songs coming to life with a static disorganisation! Dean Allen Spunt’s unrefined and perfectly out-of-tune vocals added to the hectic mess.
