Mommy Longlegs - Turn! Turn! Turn!, Portland OR - September 18, 2015

[Seattle WA] Thrilling. At first hear, they made me think of The Coathangers but they’re way less dirgy, dirty and unhappy. They’re more garage pop, punk n roll but with a tinge of riot grrrl. Some new wave sound – Delta Girls, Slits. Lyrics are often political but sometimes silly. The singing was great but the music was terrific – amazing bass lines, great riffs. Maybe they’re just straight happy punk. JC Satan for sure. Female-centric for sure. I almost never buy albums at shows but this band was a wow – and the girl told me they only had casettes – silly hipsters. Outside of that, everyone but everyone in Portland is ridicoulsouly nice and unpretentious, similar to Brooklyn – Austin tried really hard.
