Gossip Collar is everywhere these days, playing all over the place. Allston, Medford, Cambridge, you name it.

Hey, they got a new album to promote, Spinning Silk For Parasites. Kinda dark wave meets post punk.

There was more noisy guitar work than I heard at the recent Silhouette Lounge set. Danceable, Donnie-able, Dark-oble. The light show was in full force at Deep Cuts, bathing the band in neon lasers beneath the brooding presence of an inflatable tarantula. Beware.

Gossip Collar: “Midnight Ride”

Burn After Kitting

Straight outta Puerto Rico like the headliner.

Feels like a band recently formed. Ladrones might have said as much in their stage banter, but these speeches run in and out of your ears pretty quickly.

A real roadhouse band. The heart & soul of this band was pure punk. Extra points for the lead singer who was doing everything in her power to get Massholes out of their heads on a Thursday night. Pit work, aerobicizing, the works. That’s exactly what you want in an opener.

All the songs were in Spanish except for one.

The guitarist for Las Nubes rocked an FX pedal with a texture I haven’t heard since Smashing Pumpkins. So the three-piece band out of Miami started off a little more alt rock than they finished, transitioning to a harder, headbobbing post punk grind by the end of the set.

The one, the only, the only one. Dávila 666. Puerto Rico’s answer to the Ramones? All that and more.

The tightest 5-piece punk band you ever did hear, with raucous pop melodies woven into tight tapestries of fuzzed-out sound. Extra points for trotting out a tropical version of Europe’s “Final Countdown” during set up.

And I’m just learning now that the band released a single in 2022 called “Chloe Sevigny”? Wayyyy behind on that news item, I’ve got to play catch up.

Also, Chloe Sevigny, just in time for the spooky season:
