I’m still grooving to the the sound of the impossibly hopped set from Davila 666 last night at The Funhouse. The show was everything you could hope for from a six-piece garage punk band from Puerto Rico. Lots of sweat, lots of guitars, big fast drums, plastic snakes and, a cavalcade of beer in a can getting spit, drunk or hurled in every direction.

I was lucky to chat with a couple of the super friendly Davila boys after the show. They talked about how much they dig playing Seattle (it’s their third trip through) and the bands upcoming Rolling Stones cover EP with Norton Records. I couldn’t resist asking AJ and Johnny Davila (bass/guitars) what Stones song they would most want to cover on the upcoming EP. After a brief and smoky moment of contemplation they both agreed it would have to be Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

The Funhouse lineup, Sunday, October 18th.

I arrived just in time to catch most of Seattle duo Ape City R&B’s auditory assault. I highly recommend you and your ear plugs check out Ape City’s gig with another of my favorite Seattle bands, TacocaT at the Black Lodge on November 29th. Also on the bill were Sonic Chicken 4, a five piece from Perpignan, France who delivered a surprisingly exciting set complete with a xylophone solo.

Thanks to LP, Surly and G for GTFO with me last night. Red Beer and punk rock always tastes better when you’re around. True story.
