Doomsday Show Preview Blurb

Cool little blurb from this week’s Creative Loafing:

“Doomsday Show w/Poetry n’ Lotion & Special Guests It’s almost the end of the world (or so says the Mayan calendar and all those History Channel shows), and brassy instrumental jazz, metal and progressive rock fusionists Poetry n’ Lotion are throwing a rager at their old stomping grounds in the midst of putting the finishing touches on a new full-length. Expect old faves like “Skinsuit” along with trademark covers (Sabbath anyone?) and cuts off their new Octopada EP. (Yeoman’s Road Pub, Tampa) - Leilani Polk, CL Tampa

Super pumped to be playing with The Legendary JC’s this Saturday at Will’s Pub. Check out this vid of “Save Me” from Chris Bells Antemesaris Rock n Roll Peoples Party.

WE SAY…

The members of Tampa band Poetry ’n Lotion aren’t shy at all about waving a flag for their teenage influences. Although the quartet’s main gig is dishing up thick, instrumental music that’s as indebted to modern jazz as it is to art-rock and international sounds, PNL has also garnered something of a reputation for its tribute sets where the band plays one of their favorite classic albums front to back. They’ve done Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, the soundtrack to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and they rang in 2012 with a New Year’s New Wave celebration in Tampa that ran through Devo’s Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! album. Of course, the notion of hearing the second-best Devo album transmuted into instrumental, jazz-flecked weirdness is just the sort of thing that helps get people in the door, and when the band follows up the closing notes of “Shrivel Up” with a set of PNL originals, you’ll realize the true genius of their approach. – Jason Ferguson
