If you have a globe handy, draw a straight line from Paris, France, to Memphis, Tenn. I'll just bet you'll find our little berg somewhere right along that line! So it makes sense that French slime punks Catholic Spray are stopping through town on their way to play Gonerfest this weekend in Memphis. (Note: I don't have a globe handy, and my knowledge of geography is questionable.)
I can't personally speak to whether or not the members of Catholic Spray are totally rude to Americans (probably), but I do know that their LP from this year, Earth Slime, is a slab of scuzzy, protean surf crust, and it's totally awesome. You can check it out over at their Bandcamp page.
Joining Catholic Spray is recently blawged local power-pop supergroup Road Block and a band called Good Sex. (I don't know who these guys are, but I sure did learn some things trying to Google them!)
The Mean Room is located at 4002 Elkins Ave. in West Nashville. It's a house and people live there, so try to be respectful, and anyway, you wouldn't want to offend Catholic Spray's delicate Parisian sensibilities. Cover is $5.
