Bad Sports, The Marked Men, Tenement, and Phylums at Club Garibaldi
Wearing the meanest sneers out of all the bands to emerge from Matador’s Casual Victim Pile, Denton’s Bad Sports walk a wobbly line between tightly wound, three-chord bursts of punky incitement and Who-indebted garage-rock mini-epics. The key to both sounds is attitude, which spills out of co-vocalists Orville Neeley (playing down the “Iggy Pop Of Beerland” persona he embodies as the frontman for OBN III’s) and TV’s Daniel, whose low-slung bass-thrashing suggests he’s the source of most of the band's Ramones-isms. The band’s self-titled debut on Atlanta’s Douchemaster Records and 2011 album, Kings Of The Weekend, serve as perfect gateways to the snottier sounds of Denton.
