On Friday, July 9, Child Bite will be power blasting the stage of Local’s Only, showcasing the best in eclectic indie rock while flexing their muscles . Transpanther (http://www.transpanthergroup.com/) will get the show started at 9 p.m., it’s $5 to get in, and Sohns (think of this Texas band as a cross between Kind Diamond and Jesus Lizard) and D.O.U.G. (a duo that, according to their FaceBook, categorizes them as an Atari being fed through Marshall Stacks on 11) will open.
Calling Child Bite avant garde is like calling the poop from your cat art. This band rips through technicalities like it was origami. It’s indie rock that Amphetamine Reptile Records and Skin Graft would mud wrestle over. The band looks into the future while wearing the glasses of the past.
On their latest release The Living Breathing Organ Summer (Joyful Noise), they are random enough to keep you on your toes without turning their sound into chopped liver. Blending a little bit of pop into their jerky rhythms makes listening to the album all that more enjoyable.
Is Child Bite quirky? Yes. Will they have you wrapped around their fingers by the end of the night? Oh..yes!
