After stints in Paris and Dubai, former “one lady band” Kerry Davis is now based in New York City, where she’ll be playing a hometown gig September 13 with her group the Two Tears. Davis, on guitar and vocals, will be joined by Des Roar bassist Ryan Spoto, and Mutilation Rites drummer Justin Ennis as they blast short bursts of experimental bluesy garage punk that is not nearly as cannibalistic as you might think from such titles as “Eat People” and “I Like Your Face” nor as depressing as indicated by such titles as “Die Tonight,” “OOooo I’m Blue,” and “Shit Fucking Job.” In “Senso Unico,” Davis declares, “I hate my life,” but you won’t hate hers when she and Two Tears perform at Brooklyn’s Cameo Gallery on September 13 with Atlanta’s Gringo Star, one of the standouts at the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon. Gringo Star, which plays punk-injected southern garage rock with a twist, is about to go back into the studio to record their follow-up to their debut disc, 2008’s ALL YALL, with producer Ben Allen. Opening up are two Brooklyn bands, the whispery, lo-fi Caveman and the minimalist Soft Black.
