Ball of Wax 70 – Mia Rose Malone’s impeccably curated collection of music by local trans and nonbinary artists – jumps right off with Miscomings’ “Putty,” a thrilling 110 seconds of dissonant minimalism that may have you wondering whether you’re in 2020s Seattle or 1980s New York. (The fact that you’re reading this on a blog or hearing this song on a CD may have you wondering whether you’ve split the difference and landed in the 2000s, but that’s another story.) Whichever decade you find yourself in, the bracing, frenetic, interplay of guitar, bass, drums, and vocals that Miscomings have perfected will be exactly what you need to brace against the crushing realities of life as a creative weirdo existing under capitalism. I can only imagine the intense, thrashing delight of experiencing Miscomings live. Speaking of which . . .
Miscomings will kick things off for the Ball of Wax 70 release show on February 2nd at Southgate Roller Rink. Do not miss a second!
