In honor of Martin Luther King, Band You’ve Never Heard Of…OF THE DAY!!111 took a day off yesterday. However, this break turned out to be very fortuitous , as it allowed me to actually seek out a band I’d never heard of and investigate them personally, in the flesh, tewtally IRL. And that band is HEALTH.
If you happen to live in Los Angeles, and wear American Apparel V-necks and totally boss vintage ’80s fashion, you might have actually heard about HEALTH. They are signed to uber radcore label Lovepump United, home to such noisey spock bands as AIDS Wolf, Genghis Tron, etc. Though some bands would be content with mere intra-city fame, HEALTH are on a quest for world domination. They came through Synthesis’ hometown of Chico last night on their never ending tour schedule, and basically wrecked shop for an hour in the middle spot of a three-band bill on a fucking MONDAY night. From here, the band is seriously going to circle the country twice over the next few months, before heading to the UK in Spring. I would list the tourdates here, but its like two pages long. HEALTH are on some road warrior shit and I highly suggest checking them out when they inevitably come through your town. If nothing else, you can pick up some of their fucking sweet merch and feel like you’re on the cusp of fashion for a few moments before you remember you live in fucking Springfield, MO. DO IT!
