Dead Meat have the heft of Killdozer, the grit of Scratch Acid, the swampland shudder of Scientists, & the dead-eyed stare of Joy Division all bonded together by some piss & vinegar & delivered concisely. That’s what Dead Meat offer those bored to death by indie rock anemia. Includes a fold-out insert & download of their 9 track digital only album "Early Recordings."

As most of you may know, Emily Flake was in our midst last night for the opening of her show Funny and Not So Funny Drawings here at saki. She signed several copies of her books Lulu Eightball, Lulu Eightball Vol. 2, and These Things Ain't Gonna Smoke Themselves, which are now up for sale through the store! If you didn't make it to the opening you should come by and check out her work and pick up a signed copy of all of her books!
AVC: What’s the difference between writing a cartoon for an alt-weekly versus writing a comic for The New Yorker?
EF: I try not to use the word “fuck” so much with The New Yorker.

“I have a history with Chicago,” Flake said. “It’s really great to have an event there, see friends and have a venue to show and sell artwork. I really like what they’re doing with that space—using it as a cultural space instead of just a retail space.
There's gonna be a great show at the Bottle tonight. 4 Atlanta ladies making raucous R n' R in the Black Lips/Demon's Claw vein. The Coathanger's latest release, "Hard Candy" put out by the good folks at Die Slaughtershaus records, kicks-off with a squeal and wail A-side, then gets moody with a thumping cut called "Wife Eyes". It's a reverse attack.
