Times New Viking, leaders of the newest made-up genre, shit-gaze, will be paying tribute tomorrow (Saturday) to one of the genre's pioneers, The Velvet Undground. Most people may not think of the Velvet Underground as a shit-gaze band, but their first two records, along with maybe records by the Godz, were among the most poorly-recorded records of the ’60s. Why? Because you had people like Lou Reed messin' shit up behind the mixing board. Today? In Times New Viking's case, we have Matt Horsehit, or Mike "Rep."
Times New Viking will take the stage tomorrow night, February 14, at the Mershon Auditorium in Columbus's Wexner Center, as part of the closing party for the "Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms" exhibition. They will be joined by a few local legends, including C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) and Mike "Rep"(Mike "Rep" and the Quotas) to fill out the Velvets' sound. The night will kick off with fellow shit-gaze jammers Psychedelic Horseshit.
Anyone wanna be my valentine's date?
