The Intelligence + Drugs Dragons at Cactus Club
The static-laced, proto-industrial clamor created by Seattle post-punk band The Intelligence bears a striking resemblance to that of the A Frames—no surprise, then, that it’s led by A Frames drummer Lars Finberg, who also handles deadpan vocals, ham-fisted keyboards, and assorted electronic clutter here. On record, the band is known for dousing its no-wave-ish dance-punk in an acid bath of lo-fi noise, grinding out surprisingly refined rhythms and pure dissonance in equal measure. Drugs Dragons, meanwhile, is a local psychedelic-sleaze outfit that released a terrific self-titled album in 2010. Last year’s Milorganight EP was a slightly slicker, more focused affair than Drugs Dragons, though still stuffed with tongue-in-cheek, doom-and-gloom monster vocals and songs with titles like “Burning Hell” and “Pestilence In The Flesh.”
