Live: Mi Ami, Explode into Colors (Pehrspace)


A week ago, friends and I went to Pehrspace in Filipinotown to see Mi Ami. Happening upon them earlier in the month, we were way blown away by their ferocious take on noise and dance-punk. For only three members, the sound is extremely full; they make cacophonous dance music, accentuated by yelps and spasms from the leader singer. And live, they totally rip. Openers Explode into Colors described themselves as "three chubby, grungy girls from Portland, Oregon playing krautrock," and, we have to say, that was one of the most fitting explanations a band has ever given for themselves. Both bands come highly recommended, so do check them out!
