\nFoetus w\/ Easy Action & X-27
\nEmpty Bottle, 10pm<\/p>\n
Initially, Jim “Foetus” Thirlwell’s disdain for sonic niceties sounds like that of another act from Melbourne, Australia: the post-punk terrorist outfit The Birthday Party. But after a few songs, the differences become clearer. Foetus’ new Flow features extreme industrial bombast juxtaposed with lounge music – polar opposites that make sense together, at least in Foetus’ unique world. This rare tour appearance will no doubt entice the faithful, which is also great for newcomers: As passionate as Foetus’ recordings are, his barely contained explosions work best when his rabid audience is around.<\/p>\n
