Do you remember how local high-intensity “At the Drive-In covering XTC" trio
CACTUS'S ominously nailed a signdisplaying their band name along with some kind of “owl-wolverine hybrid” illustration on a telephone pole across from Scene HQ a month or so ago? Well, in continuing what I can only guess is their Shepard Fairey-inspired guerrilla campaign to get us to acknowledge their presence — which is apparently working — the band, or their minions, allegedly posted a follow-up sign reading “NEW BONES” on that very same telephone pole this morning. This time the Owl-verine is smiling. Someone, I’m assuming from the city, has already removed the sign, but not before a diligent Southcomm staffer managed to get a shot of it. (See above.)
I’m guessing "NEW BONES" is the name of a release, or perhaps a song, or maybe they just changed their name. The Internet doesn’t seem to answer such questions at this time. I suppose we’ll have to wait for a sign. If you want to ask the band such queries in person, their next Nashville show is Friday, Aug. 6, at Exit/In.
