POOR SCHOOL CONFIRMS!!!If you have never experienced the squawking, brooding, pulsing, wailing, throbbing, droning, hypnotizing tones of Poor School, I am sorry for you. Truly. This isn’t your grand-pappy’s noise. Poor School is everything that you love (or forget that you love) about jazz, noise, punk and, (perhaps a stretch) acid rock all rolled into one cacophonous improvised fertility ritual. Consisting of Bryan Ramirez (Ex-Cocaine, Universal Indians), John Niekrasz (Fly!, Fly!, Fly!, Fly!, Fly!, Why I Must Be Careful, etc.) and Nathan Hoyme (free lance sax wielder and all around swell guy), the trio lurches and rolls over one another with surprising ease as they perpetually delay collision after collision. Niekrasz’s drums provide momentary centering while Ramirez and Hoyme pursue unknown but eerily comfortable caverns on the guitar and saxophone. Their improvised sets violently massage all of your angst-ridden anticipation until your brain drips onto your shoes. Noiseweek’s review offers a telling summary: “They obstensibly play full-tilt improv welded to tribal heavy rock, but there's so much more happening inside the thick folds of their hurtling jams that ripping them open and idenitfying the guts inside is like trying to dissect pudding - eventually you just have to give up and eat it.” Bring your bibs, Total Fest-ers!

wow, total fest looks like a total piece of shit this year. Come on Josh....the trash-rock thing is pretty tired. I'm not making the trip this year, please, get better bands next year!
Oh no! SOMEOBODY CALL THE WHAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!
Who are you, anonymous poster? And what's your definition of "trash-rock." So far, I think we've announced anything but trashy rock or any bands that sound like the Mummies (R.I.P), the best trash rock outfit I can think of. I wish the Mummies would play. I'm proud of hell of what we've come up with for a lineup, and if it's not in line with your taste, why, do it yourself.
Agreed, that stupid person shouldn't be able to post those comments, it's hurtful. Plus, someone's turd is another's gold nugget!
Someone's Turd is another's chicken Mcnugget!
