Harvey Milk with Hawks
Wednesday September 8, 2010 12:00 AM EDT
Cost: $12
From the venue:
The three members of long-running Athens sludge metal combo Harvey Milk have a problem taking themselves seriously. Any given interview with the band is chock full of a particular self-deprecating wit, at the center of which is the members’ insistence that they’ve never released any record worth a damn. Harvey Milk’s catalog, though, runs quite counter to that dejected avowal. A Small Turn of Human Kindness, the group’s latest opus, is quite possibly its best, boasting 40 minutes of careening guitar energy. Through the murk, vocalist Creston Spiers’ buzzsaw wail leads the way ever onward. They might be misanthropes, but their music is nigh unimpeachable — whether they admit it or not.
