Event Details: Mess Up The Mess — Thursday - :

---

Michael already wrote about Partyline playing tomorrow night at Velvet Lounge, but I’m plugging Mess Up The Mess!, a dyke-fronted band from D.C. The two bands are playing along with Fierce Perm, a girl-powered band with queer members from from Olympia, Washington.

Here’s Mess Up describes themselves on their website: “Elizabeth’s acerbic lyrics and melodic basslines, Jeanni’s explosive keyboards and exuberant vocals along with Matt’s layers of feedback, distortion, and bursts of jangly guitar-y brightness insure that whole affair doesn’t sound like too much of a downer. And if anybody tries to start any trouble, Mistress Julie, on drums, has their back(beat.) Likened to such disparate acts as The Go-Go’s, The Clean, The B-52′s and any Riot Grrrl band you care to mention, clearly no one can categorize Mess up the Mess’ unique sound, but it doesn’t stop them from trying.”

Jeanni described Fierce Perm as “amazing upbeat catchy punk rock,” adding that fans of The Gossip will enjoy this band.

Mess Up the Mess will be playing first, followed by Fierce Perm and Partyline.

The show is at Velvet Lounge, 915 U St., NW. Doors are at 9 p.m. $7. 18+.
