Poem Rocket — guitarist-singer
Mike Peters, bassist-singer Sandra
Gardner and drummer Peter
Gordon — are currently touring
in support of their brand new six-
song EP titled The Universe
Explained In Six Songs, a spaced-
out roar of pop and noise
released on the Providence, R.I.
Magic Eye Single Label. The EP is
a concise follow-up to last year's
full-length album Infinite Retry On Parallel Time-Out (PCP Records).
The band's minor-key guitar clang and in-and-out drone sessions seem to remind music critics
of Sonic Youth (the Poem Rocket press kit is full of references to Kim Gordon and Thurston
Moore), but a lot of it seems in line with bands like Joy Division, The Birthday Party and The
Gordons.
Local rock band Dynamite High open the show with their solid new line-up and a handful of
new material (Bl)

T-Model Ford,
Super Chilean
Georgia Theatre
Guitarist-singer T-Model Ford (AKA
James Lewis Carter Ford), age 77, and
drummer side-kick Spam (Tommy Lee
Miles) bring their raw, chaotic Delta
blues to Athens in support of their new
album You Better Keep Still (Fat
Possum/Epitaph). The album's fiery and
rumbling blues stems from Ford's long
life of working lumber, chasing women,
boozing and driving recklessly in and
around the Mississippi Delta — and his
habit of freaking out on the mic
In last week's Flagpole, writer Matt
Amundsen described Ford's latest
album as “the perfect soundtrack to
driving down a gravel road on a hot summer day, with a bottle of whisky tucked between your
legs and somebody blowing out your rear window with a shotgun." The same probably can't be
said of any other blues act touring this year. That goes for Jon Spencer as much as it does Robert
Cray! Super Chikan opens. (BL)
