45 Spider/Kiss Me Deadly

Local act 45 Spider and Portlanders Kiss Me Deadly are both releasing stuff, and tonight’s the party. 45 Spider’s sound is a fuzzy, vintage garage sound that walks the line of rockabilly. “Bloodbath of Fuzz” and “Warlock” both exemplify this with gritty guitar, sassy female vocals and the intermittent shriek of keyboard. Following similar suit, Kiss Me Deadly offer a garage rock approach, only with less of the vintage undertones. Tracks “Ice House” and “Ladykillers” also boast girly vocals, with guitar that takes on a surf sound in some places and often drifting into elaborate solos. These two promise a night of rocking out, so bring your dancing shoes. Considering this is a release party, expect to hear lots of new stuff from each as well. (Trenholme)
