These Are Powers: Missoula-bound, March 6.

Shuuuuucks, yes! On March 6th, the noise-punk power-vessel of (somewhat unterrifically named) Brooklyn rockers These Are Powers docks at Missoula's ZACC Basement, 235 N. 1st West. If you wanna hear what the ruckus is about, head over to theirspace or listen to Missoula's only source of loud, wild rock and roll. 'BGA, 89.9 FM! Pat Noecker, who formerly bassed-0ut for the Liars, is the slightly balding fellow on thunder broom in the band photo.

The show's all-ages-welcome, $5 and music of this quality's a rare site this time o' year. Bridgebuilder, Knot Knocked Up, Deny the Dinosaur and Electric Dandelion apply the localism.

LUX INTERIOR, WE HARDLY KNEW YE.

Pitchforkmedia.com reports that Cramps front-fellow and punk-forebro has passed on to the great sleazy punk club in the sky.

KBGA tips its cap, pours brew onto curb, and sheds a collective tear for Lux, our hearts go out to Poison Ivy and the rest of Lux's family and friends.

From a slightly more positive note: MAKE A DONATION TO KBGA 89.9 FM THIS WEEK! YOU CAN DO IT! 406-243-5242 IS THE NUMBER!
