Masters and Johnson are Neil (vocals + guitar), Nick (drums, also in SEAHOUSE), and Spencer (bass, also Generifus). These young dudes look like they grew up in a Ballard tavern circa 1978. They sound like a grungy, fuzzy, northwest take on experimental post-punk. The band was less poppy than the last time I saw them. With any luck, there will be a grand west coast tour soon.
Holy Mountain is a seedy art space in the tradition of the SS Marie Antoinette, a well-loved Lake Union venue that closed after the summer of 2007. It's dark, it's damp, and sometimes people smoke inside. I saw Japanther there last winter/spring. DIY-phobes need not attend.
