on deck: New Bloods, The Secret Life



New Bloods are a Portland trio that has found themselves on Kill Rock Stars and in my life.

They played this week at The Smell and they are most definitely all girls. This surprised me because the poster I received folded into my copy of The Secret Life LP looked, to me, to depict a male violin player. The ripper with the bow was indeed vagina-equipped. In my opinion she was actually the looker of the squad.

New Bloods plays Punkish Folk jams with stabbing strings that make you think, “This band is fully from Portland, but they have for sure hung out in Oakland”.

The Secret Life reminds me of why I love the Northwest, but why I would never, ever fit in there.
