The SplinterS

San Francisco’s The Splinters are teaming up with Nashville’s Heavy Cream for two shows: Sunday, July 18 at Death by Audio with Reading Rainbow and Elks; and then Monday, July 19 at Cake Shop with Midnight Masses and Oxmen Girl Get Noticed.

While the mixing of ’60s girl group melodies and punky edge is a common blend over the last 30 years, it’s also a classic that can be successfully mined over and over. Especially when you’ve got really good songs like The Splinters do. Check out “Mysterious” at the top of this post which is from their new album, Kick. These ladies polish it all off with a does of new wave, which might be why their songs are so catchy.

Heavy Cream are pretty much straight-up punk, as can currently be heard on their debut 7″ on JEFF the Brotherhood’s Infinity Cat label who are also releasing their debut album, Danny, out August 24th. In addition to the two shows with The Splinters, Heavy Cream will also play a free show Union Pool on July 20 . The band are currently on tour with JEFF, though that pauses while they’re in NYC where JEFF is instead scheduled to play a Pool Party at the Williamsburg Waterfront on July 18th (earlier in the day than the Death by Audio show…).
