There is a certain, specific delight in this line up: four local bands who occupy the same landscape of “noisy, and loud” yet who find ways to distinguish themselves from the constant stream of noise and loud bands that this town churns out. Opener Pink Muscles create spastic punk-fueled tunes that draw from death-metal skronk and no-wave. Short, punchy songs complemented by the frontman barking like a maniac out of breath. Voycheck are a band with a brand, and that brand is capital ‘N’ Noise Rock. The dudes are bringing back the Am-Rep style hard, and that is not a bad thing. The third band of the night, the mighty Big Trughk, have played sparsely over the last year, hopefully writing or recording in their down time. Their return to stage ought to assure more than one beer is spilled in the Funhouse crowd on Saturday Night, as their rowdy take on heavy rock is firmly rooted in having a good time. And then there are Great Falls. An amazing, vital band who most certainly are not concerned with having a good time. Their angular, heavy and violent live show is the definition of good catharsis. When talking to a friend recently he surmised that there are two types of people in this world: People Who Like Great Falls and People Who Haven’t Seen Great Falls Live. They are Seattle’s secret best band and the fact that denizens can see them perform on a regular basis is a reason to be genuinely happy about living here. -Jake McCune
