In an effort to highlight Seattle’s up-and-coming punk bands, local venue El Corazón has announced their own spin on NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, with a series of Tiny Stall Bathroom Concerts.
“Ladies and Ejaculates, Boys and Squirms, scrape the puke off your best Docs and get your swamp ass down to El Corazon for a 5×8 square foot porcelain thunderdome, motherfuckas!” howled Chucky Teeth, MC for tonight’s inaugural Tiny Stall Bathroom Concert Series. “Let’s raise a beer and turn today’s coold Oly’ into tomorrow’s warm piss and give a killer welcome to tonight’s line-up: When Harry Bit Sally, Caustic Taint Bleach, Danny and the Dog Barfs, and tons more bands ready to rip this porcelain palace a new bidet!”
The Needling’s reporters spoke to the show’s MC during a quick intermission, while the main stall was hosed down. Unsurprisingly, the night had reportedly gone a little off-script – including at least one equipment malfunction.
“We forgot to mention that this was supposed to be an acoustic set and one of the guys in Reaganomics Crack Torpedo plugged his amp into the urinal – the explosion launched him headfirst into the ceiling tiles, showering the entire crowd with sparks and plaster powder. It was mental,” said Chucky Teeth, scrubbing warm PBR into a blood stain on his denim vest. “I don’t know if anyone can beat that shit, they’ve clearly got a heads up on the competition. We got one more band left, though, and if anyone can match that raw energy, it’s Donald Trump’s Syphilitic Merkin.”
All proceeds from the evening’s show, and several warm beers, were thoughtfully donated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
