Shellshag: February 11, 2012 Music Hall of Williamsburg – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

February 20, 2012

Shellshag was the second band to play at the Don Giovanni showcase at Music Hall last week, but based upon the crowd response and participation, the band could have played much higher in the bill. Shellshag is not a new band — Shell and Shag have played together for over a decade. A guitar/drums duo that sounds like a full band playing legit garage rock, these veterans of the San Francisco DIY scene since the 1990s are a blueprint of how two people with talent and passion can make compelling underground music and make it last. But their latest album on Don Giovanni Rumors in Disguise may be the complete realization of what the duo is all about, and although the too-short thirty minute set at Music Hall featured only two songs from Rumors (“Resilient Bastard” is streaming below), it also offered a overview of their catalog, a medley of garage rock covers, and a rousing finale where “Fuck Society” devolved into a noise jam of instrument-switching and amp-stacking. Shellshag is currently on tour on the East coast, and they return to NYC for a show at Death By Audio on March 11.

Acidjack and I captured this set in the same manner at the Screaming Females recording, and the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!
