Our friend Cole gave us the heads up that the floating corpses were playing the Clarion Alley Street Fair this past weekend, and we’re so glad he did. This was a super fun show. The mission punks were having a great time, the weather was nice, and floating corpses and their brand of goth/punk/drag with squealing, distorted keyboard and falsetto vocals were extra great. Maybe its because they have a new drummer, or maybe it was because it was such a nice day, or maybe its just because this band is extra great.

If you missed them on Sunday, you can totally see them this Thursday at The Eagle. It was so fun I’m thinking of going again!

Here’s some a video and some photos:

Best of all time? Myles knows how to set the bar for a new feature. Whatevs, I think this song by myspace of the week alumni The Units is pretty great. Mission is a humorous ode to, you guessed it, the mission: burritos, marijuana, the …um… fashion, and humongous boom boxes. Its the closest thing to a party song on the album, and the chorus makes me smirk every time I hear it “The Mission is bitchin’!/Mission I don’t take no ^%::&++!/Alright!” (note, that’s the band censoring itself). Honestly, the mission hasn’t changed too much in the twenty seven years that have passed from since the release of Digital Stimulation on 415 records.
