Armed with little more than a massively fuzzed-up guitar and ferociously pounded drum kit, No Age's sloppy, restless sound is true art-punk bliss. Echoing the primitivist minimalism of Beat Happening and the rough-around-the-edges aesthetic of early '80s punk, guitarist Randy Randall and singer/drummer Dean Spunt submerge pretty melodies in layers of distortion, reverb, and pummeling tom-work, while the LA duo's much-blogged-about live performances (which even earned them an adoring nod in the New Yorker) crash and burn just as often as they achieve poignant pop perfection. In another high-culture nod, they hit the Getty tonight as a part of our Fridays Off the 405 series. Support comes from crate-digging mastermind King Shade, who takes a break from producing commercial music and running his Slabco label to share some of his rare, early Jamaican cuts.
