Amy Grimm, who runs the Whatever Blog, is holding her latest monthly party on September 29 at Glasslands, featuring an ultrahip lineup of indie bands, all for only eight bucks. Grimm writes that the Señors of Marseille “have a really full, rich sound with beautiful harmonies that hark back to Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, with a twist of ’90s Brit pop (think Supergrass and Cornershop) and a hint of old school R.E.M thrown in for good measure.” Shark? had to cancel their scheduled appearance at the July Whatever Blog Party, but they’re now back, “a mega rad Brooklyn band [that] has a really cool, very ’60s garage pop sound mixed in with some early R.E.M. with a sense of humor,” in Grimm’s words. Another New York City band, Bottle Up and Go, “has a really cool, distinctive sound that is kinda like if you put the White Stripes, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Zeppelin, and Little Richard in a blender,” Grimm explains on her site. “Bottle Up and Go is really primal and raw live.” After catching the Sundelles at Public Assembly during the Northside Festival, Grimm wrote, “I was very impressed. Their sound was very old school three chord punk done right.” In addition, there will be DJ sets by Nick Kinsey and Wyndham Boylan-Garnett from Diamond Doves and Elvis Perkins in Dearland.
