with scissorfight's impending show at the montage grille (may 27th), i called up the legendary and inimitable frank deblase, asking him if i could return to the city newspaper fold and write a soundsbox to tout this fantastic happening.so now i have 150 words to spend in a way that will both show my love for this band and hopefully generate interest in the show. i've always loved music writing, even though i'm a little out of practice; using metaphors and whisking off musical opinions like some kind of expert is a wonderfully self-centered experience.
so first off, i've got to figure out how to describe scissorfight's music. heavy. that's the start. now we have to find some interesting thing that stands out and makes them take heed. saying, "scissorfight is one heavy band" doesn't really have a lot of punch anymore, since we're a good thirty some-odd years past the term's inception. so it has to be something that makes someone say, "wow. that's heavy." like, "scissorfight's heavy like a big rig filled with rhinos."
or...uh...something like that.
so now to the thinking.
