Monstrous Media!

Last Sunday, completely by happenstance, I caught wind of a Shout Out Out Out Out show happening, and my ears perked. I had seen no previous advertisement for such a show but I looked into it and sure enough, the rumors were true. This was a band I used to spin on college radio with my lovely co-host Anna Santiago on our show which was amply titled Fascist Molasses back in 2005 or something. They had then just released a record called Not Saying, Just Saying, which has stuck with me for all these years. It’s a great GREAT dance record. Shout Out Out Out Out, hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, has since evolved into a psych-pop-analog synth-dance outfit. In other words: fucking awesome. There were about 12 total people at the show (including the band and the opening band) which made for the most intimate 4 person dance party EVER. I was enthralled. It completely brought me back to the days when SOOOO was on heavy rotation on WXJM and I was hosting 4 person dance parties in my dorm room. The show telepoted me to another planet, made me dance on that planet, and then rocketed me back to somewhere close to home. They just released a new record, Reintergration Time, in Canada which will be released in the US in May, I think. The record is an appropriate follow-up from (what should be) everyone’s new favorite psych-pop-analog synth-dance band. They certainly have to work on their Portland fan base though…
