Times New Viking TONIGHT at Waiting Room

By my count, tonight will mark the third Omaha appearance of Ohio's noisiest indie rockers, Times New Viking. TNV performs along with two locals, Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship and Capgun Coup. Tix are $8 at the door. See you there.

Times New Viking TONIGHT at Waiting Room

Columbus, Ohio's noisiest indie rockers, Times New Viking, return to Omaha tonight for a show at Waiting Room.

TNV is an interesting band that is somewhat reminiscent of very early Pavement (stuff like Perfect Sound Forever or Demolition Plot J-7). The band's newest CD, Rip It Off, is so noisy that it sounds like your speakers are being shredded with a razor. You can tell that there are catchy pop songs underneath all that noise, but sometimes it can be a little too rough for my ears. I imagine that it will sound more "balanced" in a live setting, though I am not sure what I am basing that on.

At this point, I am about 50/50 as to whether or not I can make it to the show. I'd like to, but it's a Monday, and Mondays are tough for me.
