This Moment In Black History, Fingaar Bangaar, The Gospel Truth, and Strong Silent Type at Red 7
Cleveland’s This Moment In Black History used to practice a high-strung hybrid of hardcore and strangled garage akin to Houston’s Fatal Flying Guilloteens, all barely contained frantic bursts of feedbacking guitar and berserk stage shows. It still does, to a certain extent—and frenetic frontman Chris Kulcsar still burns thousands of calories per show—but the band's lately been experimenting with showing off the soul-burnished grooves behind its powerful sound, while retaining the politically charged prankishness that made releases like 2006’s It Takes A Nation Of Assholes To Hold Us Back and last year’s “Obama” single so much fun. The latter was released on local label (iN)Sect Records, an offshoot of the loose Attack Formation collective that also includes the Shankar-meets-Santana prog-rock ragas of Fingaar Bangaar and the sentimental, sample-heavy pop of Strong Silent Type. Louche punkers The Gospel Truth walk the Lower East Side in between.
