Originally, I had been mulling a much longer item than this. But, really, it would have just padded out what is a very simple thing.
With their new album out, and its release gig at Doug Fir last night, this is the start of the moment when all of us who have been following The High Violets for the past six or seven years or so finally have to let them go, and let everyone else have them.
In another six or seven years, we get to be those people who can say, “We knew them when.” But as of now, I don’t think they’re going to be our little hometown Portland secret for very much longer.
That is some real flattery.
That show scared the living donkey dung out of me.
I am sorry I didn’t see you.
