NEWS: Flat Worms @ The Cluny

In an overdue, COVID-hit and long awaited return to the North East, Los Angeles three-piece Flat Worms will be executing their consistently superior sound on stage at The Cluny, Newcastle on Saturday 4^th June. Frenetic and kinetic, with whirling psych guitars which bend and screech alongside fast-paced drums and repetitive vocals, their live show promises to be dynamic indeed. With a further album release, 2020’s Antarctica, and latest single The Guest, under their belts since their last visit, there is definitely a plethora of options to be performed.

It’s fair to say their newer music has more direction and seems tamer than 2017’s Motorbike or the earlier release Petulance; which feels fanciful and instrumentally-led without being intoxicating. By far though, Red Hot Sand from their debut EP is the track for me – a euphoria-inducing trip out which takes me back to my youth!

All in all, expect a fuzzy, blissed-out garage rock freak out with flares of post-punk genius; you can guarantee this will be a hot, sweaty, sticky one and if it’s not, were you even really there?
