Rockin' the House Seattle's smartest art-punk band the A-Frames is finally getting some love from the city's alternative weekly newspaper. A positive profile by Michael Alan Goldberg leads this week's music section in The Stranger. A fixture on the scene since the mid-90s, the A-Frames (who began life as Bend Sinister) serve up terse slabs of sonic meat, their lean cuisine inspired by bands like the Fall, Gang of Four, Birthday Party and various Krautrock groups of the 70s. The band was disappointed when a gig supporting Australia's seminal garage-punks The Scientists fell through earlier this month. They'll have to settle for opening for Mudhoney next weekend at the Crocodile. If any of this sounds like your cup of noise, go henceforth to the site of Dragnet Records for the latest info and ordering information. 8:08:25 AM    Emphasize This! []
