Paranoid Lovesick will play a reunion, farewell and double-CD
release show Saturday, November 14. In the ’90s, the power-pop band
opened club shows for Oasis and Weezer, and their 1995 Molly EP
broke into regular rotation on WENZ and WMMS.
Later, the band began work on an album with producer Bill Korecky at
his Mars Recording in Streetsboro, but when guitarist Rick McBrien died
in 2003, the group called it quits. They recently completed unfinished
tracks with members of Columbus’ Watershed and Pennsylvania’s
Jellybricks, who are also on the bill.
The show is part of the second night of the two-day International
Pop Overthrow Weekend at the Beachland (15711 Waterloo Rd.) with
seven acts each night. Other Cleveland artists in the fest’s lineup
include Bill Fox, Living Stereo, the Celebrity Pilots, Good Touch Bad
Touch, Pale Hollow, Afternoon Naps and the Rainy Day Saints. Showtime
each night is 8; tickets $10. Visit beachlandballroom.com for a full
schedule.
Ten years after their last gig, Studbull’s Disco Biscuit are
reuniting on Saturday, November 14, at the Hi-Fi Concert Club (11729
Detroit Ave., Lakewood). Scene wrote of the band’s 1994 debut
demo: “Lyrically, SDB come off like a sexually abusive, semi-retarded,
feces-fixated version of the Beastie Boys.” They later added
nü-metal guitars and funk to the mix.
The sextet is playing the gig to debut a new, zombie-themed video
for an old song, “Brains,” from the band’s second and final LP, 1998’s
Return of the Super Zeroes.
Explains co-frontman Trip — who’s more recently been half of
promotion team Trip and Fatbak — “I said, ‘We got everybody
together to pretend that we’re playing — why don’t we really play
a show?'”
Opening bands are Half-Raised Heathens, Calo, At No End and
Pursesnatcher. Doors at 7:00, $5 cover.
Demons Within release their full-length debut,
Desecration of Angels, on Friday,
November 13, at the Phantasy (11802 Detroit Ave., Lakewood). King,
Necris Obscura, Befallen and Selvent open the metal massacre. Doors 8
p.m., cover $3.
Fistula will release We the Beast on
Friday, November 13, at Annabell’s (784 E. Market St., Akron). Jeff
Shirilla (Abdullah) recorded the brutal sludge album, which features
Nate Linehan of Massachusetts’ Anal Cunt on drums. Doors 10 p.m., cover
$5.
