0 LIVE PREVIEW: AFCGT @ Chop Suey 12/17

When I heard the news that the melting pot of mind bending awesomeness known as AFCGT had plans to release a record in early 2010 I raised my arms to the sky and thanked...Sub Pop Records. That might sound odd, but I thank them for continuing their relationship with the conjoined outfit formally known as the A Frames and Climax Golden Twins and releasing their new self-titled album on vinyl in early 2010. After two years of melding the A Frames' science fiction punk sound and the Climax Golden Twins expansive arrangements, AFCGT has produced an early front runner for best of 2010. Yes, I have previewed the self-titled release due January 26th and it's phenomenal. This Thursday the conglomerate bring their grandiose vision to Chop Suey as part of a bill that I am expecting to be quite the revelation. This particular show is sponsored by local psyche enthusiasts Portable Shrines, the group responsible for the excellent Escalator Fest from earlier in the year, and also features Magik Markers, Sic Alps, and A Story of Rats. Expect an exhilarating and expansive journey, anyone care to join me for the ride?

Want to check out the new AFCGT song? Here you go, download "Two Legged Dog" for free now. AFCGT’s self-titled new release is available on Sub Pop Records on January 26th, 2010 as both a vinyl LP (with bonus 7-inch single!) and as a digital album (without bonus 7-inch single!), though not as a compact disc.

PS. Oh yeah, have you heard "Black Forest"? Seek it immediately!!
