Somebody told The Old Lady that punk is dead.
Somebody was wrong.
Gainesville, FL band EW recently proved that to a pitifully small crowd. Okay, so it was Sunday night. Okay, so the show was minimally publicized. When has any of that mattered to punks? The Old Lady suspects that GVL might be becoming Straightsville… but EW blew up the stage anyway and the tiny group of fans was excited and energetic. Pure punk!Check out EW’s album Daddy and Her Son at https://ewwww.bandcamp.com/releases …

On tour from Australia, Divide and Dissolve droned their way through an interesting experimental set.
Divide and Dissolve is another duo: a guitar who doubles on soprano saxophone, and a drummer who doubles on guitar and electronic manipulation of a mysterious black machine. Okay.Their mastery of their various instruments brought drone, which can sometimes be a boring form of music, to a new height of listenability.

The soon-to-be-famous GVL photographer Shoog was at this show! Okay, so where were you, PUNK?NOTE: This blog was first posted with a MAJOR ERROR (like, the name of the second band?) which was CORRECTED with the input of many Facebook friends. Thank y’all!
AND… The Old Lady would like to APOLOGIZE to Ionopsis, a local GVL band that played last, after T.O.L. had left. “My bad!”, said T.O.L., smacking herself upside the head.
