A cover-free evening of new music, corresponding disc
jockeys at Boston's most peculiar pub. The party
continues at RIVER GODS each Tuesday night. This week
the new CD from GUIDED BY VOICES. Fans of this Ohio
rock monster [also known as GBV] are obsessive for a
reason. A flippant guess at their recorded song
catalog would put it near 500, not including the
various side-projects and solo recordings. There's
rumored to be 1,500 more to come. Now back on Matador,
Universal Truths And Cycles finds them strattling the
modern studio technique and their lo-fi magnetic tape
roots as we've always hoped they would. The
never-aging anthemic rock superstars return at...

Anyone who affords GUIDED BY VOICES enough stumbling
room soon falls hard for their earnest non-sequitur
popcraft. The amazing rise of this Dayton, OH
phenomenon is just the backstory to their incredibly
fun music. 60s-psyche melodies, Cheap Trick
aspirations and tricked-out lyricism is GBV pop... all
whorling around Robert Pollard, the perpetual, manic
and brilliant songsmith. We don't heistate to place
their "Bee Thousand" album was one of the best of the
'90s, and call it the "Sgt. Pepper's" of lo-fi. Go get
that at once. Then join Casey and friends in a night
of Pollard-proud revelry in anticipation of their,
like, 26th album in 10 years Universal Truths And
Cycles. Another burner [see gbv.com].Tenderloin will
be our host and first DJ tonight. Tinobeat is a
songwriter for the Secrets and a fairly large GBV fan.
He's been pencilled in tonight's spot for months.
Throughout the night, you'll also be able to register
to win a pair of FREE TICKETS to GBV's show Wed, July
17th @ the Paradise.

There isn't much more that can be said about SONIC
YOUTH. Musical innovators who torched a long swath in
the musical landscape behind which Punk and Grunge
crept into the mainstream. After the Velvet
Underground, there isn't a band who have blended art,
noise and volume quite as well as Sonic Youth. Murray
Street does little to change their image. By adding
Jim O'Rourke into their line-up, they have only
heightened their ability to find the line between
avant garde and punk rock -- and promptly dilute it
with blotter and paint thinner. Beautiful, damaged and
scythe-sharp. The second in Tenderloin's guest
curatorial evenings, this time joined by DJ Kiely.
Nice.
:: 9pm - 1030pm Tenderloin [Carlisle Sound, Secrets,
Soltero]
:: 1030 SONIC YOUTH "Murray Street" [Geffen] Street
Date June 25th

the least.
:: July 2nd, 2002 YEAH YEAH YEAHS "S/T EP" [Touch &
Go] street date July 9th w/ DJs t.b.a. Finally a
proper US release from this most punked-up, popped-out
and fashion-forward NYC trio. If you haven't yet felt
the buzz, you might want to grab hold of something.
