New New Trust Shows and New New Trust Vinyl

While the more superstitious of us spent Friday the 13th (there are three of them this year!) walking around ladders, avoiding mirrors and side-stepping black cats, others were Dueling Drumslucky enough to catch The New Trust play a house show in Oakland with fellow Bay-Area bands Comadre and Spires. It’s difficult to pick the highlight of the evening – whether it was the amalgamation of three great bands or the post-show living room dance party hosted by the gracious Al. But honestly, The New Trust’s closing number, “Get Vulnerable,” which featured the dueling drums of band member Julia Lancer and Ian Anderson (Dead to Me / Olehole / too many other bands to name), took the cake, blowing away nearly everyone in the room. For those of you who missed out, don’t fret, because The New Trust has packed its schedule full of shows, most likely in a town within driving distance of you

This weekend begins a three-day stretch of shows across the Bay. Sonoma County locals can catch The New Trust on FridayJJ Staples at the Matrix (see “Song for Ben Henning”). Saturday’s show is one you will not want to miss, a KSCU-sponsored gig at San Jose Works featuring art and music of ladies that rock. Show starts at 7 p.m. and is all ages! Sharing the bill with The New Trust will be The Pillowfights, Dateless, Touch My Rash, Ashley Allred, Meredith Edgar, Cameao and The Fire Move. Finally, wrap-up your weekend with an early afternoon matinee at 924 Gilman, boasting the musical stylings of The New Trust, Hudson Falcons, Olehole, Dateless, F-Bombers, Heatwarmer and The Albert Square. Show starts at 3 p.m. and is $8 with a membership. Hope to see you all there!

In the midst of all this show chaos, be sure to pick up the new 7″ split between The New Trust and Pteradon. This release has been in the works for – I’m not kidding – TNTsomething like a year-and-a-half, and is finally a reality. It will be available at shows, but if you’re too busy / boring to come out in person, it will be on the web-store next week. The first 500 copies of the split come pressed on pretty, pristine white vinyl and feature two songs by each band.
For those not in the know, two-thirds of the members of Pteradon are also in The Hard Girls, who are also in Jesse Michaels‘ new band, Classics of Love. In short, you’re basically cheating yourself by not going out and buying this record right away.
