friday june 17th1% productions presentsmatson jonesAre you sitting down for this? The members of Matson Jones are. Or at least three-quarters of them are: Unlike the typical rock lineup of leg-kicking pose-strikers or pigeon-toed emo wusses, they've got their asses planted in chairs. That's because both of Matson Jones's singers -- Martina Grbac and Anna Mascorella -- fiddle the cello, and you've got to practically straddle those unwieldy planks of pine and maple to play them. Drummer Ross Harada, naturally, takes his throne in the back, which leaves upright-bassist Matt Regan as the only one standing. But don't think the quartet peddles sedate chamber music. It is a raw, knuckle-whitening eruption of some of the most vital and original indie rock you will ever hear. These four kids from Fort Collins, Colorado have truly stumbled onto something pure, singular and devastatingly visceral. They can remain in their seats all they want, but there's no way the world will be sitting still once it gets ahold of Matson Jones. performing with kisses for kicks9:30 $5.00 saturday june 18thsomedaynever presents kite pilotthe potomac accordlanding on the moon9:30 $5.00
