Do This: Lasers And Fast And Shit At Subterranean

2009_06_lafas.jpg We won't go into length about how much we enjoy local act Lasers And Fast And Shit. You can read our original post extolling their virtues wherein we said, among other things:

In simple terms, Lasers And Fast And Shit are an engaging mixture of punk abandon with a healthy dose of stoner metal's nodding and self-knowing winks. Their stage show is loud and raucous, typified by Joe Carsello leaning over a homemade light board to control the visuals with one hand while gripping a mic he's screaming into with the other. The Jesse Ewan's guitar and Eric Kratz's bass chug in lockstep while Mike Mizzola pounds out precise, clean, and thundering rhythms on his drum kit.

The band releases their debut 7" tonight at Subterranean. Each slice of vinyl also comes with a digital download so you can listen to the band on your record player as God intended you but also have the freedom of sticking it on the hard drive of your chase as well.

Laser And Fast And Shit performs at their 7" release party tonight, June 22, at Subterranean, 2011 W North , 9 p.m., $8, 18+
