Comic! Concert Comic: Jib Kidder
Posted by Suzette "the Intern" Smith on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 12:58 PM
Los Angeles artist Jib Kidder—AKA Sean Schuster-Craig, AKA Southern hiphop mixtape anthologist Kid Slizzard—played at Holocene this past Monday with Julia Holter . I felt very "who's that?" about him before the show but now I think he's someone to watch.

- The consensus was "positive with headache" and "kind of merchandizy."
All of my friends with ADHD liked him a lot. Also, his back catalog is HUGE.

Comic! Parenthetical Girls' "Sympathy For Spastics"

Much like his predecessor, Britney Spears, Zac Pennington is a born ringleader. He calls the shots. He makes it hot. He wears gold tights.
Unlike B. Spears, Pennington's Parenthetical Girls seem to be in a constant state of ascension, each of their 12" EP Privilege series being better than the last. I am enamored of the latest Privilege pt. IV: Sympathy For Spastics for its varied pop arrangements on class, sexual politics and entitlement.

- "Its gonna be crowded." "That sounds good. I like a crowd."
This conversation happened a while ago. Be assured, Cloaks are stoked to play PDX Pop Now! this afternoon at 12:40.
