Flashlights + Kid Karate + Prides + Obits + The History of Apple Pie

CMJ. Notable on this Flowerbooking showcase are Obits, which features Rick Froberg—formerly of well-loved West Coast groups Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes—and the band's snotty, soulful brand of art punk is unlikely to disappoint fans of those bands. The Oct 19 gig celebrates Bed & Bugs, the band's alternately suave and snarly new third LP.
