White Jazz
"White Jazz are a new (dare I say super-)group featuring
Brandon Nakamura of
Teen Cthulhu/
Doomsday 1999,
Jon Weisnewski of
Akimbo,
Jeff McNulty of
BlöödHag, and
Jared Burke Eglington of
Patrol.
You might expect a band with such a pedigree to combine competently
terrorizing metal riffs with a tongue-in-cheek humor meant to deflate
not only the metal tough-guy aesthetic, but also themselves. And you'd
be right: The band formed to open a show for Pig Destroyer, and they
played the show "in silk kimonos and underwear just to bum people out,"
according to Nakamura. He continues: "We're doing this as a tribute to
bands like Excruciating Terror, Crom, and other bands that just destroy
basements, ruin lives, and never say sorry." No apologies necessary,
guys." - The Stranger
