The nice New Brunswick punk band Screaming Females have been round for nearly 20 years, and in these twenty years they’ve performed in each state however one: Alaska. A number of weeks in the past, the band launched a brand new album, Desire Pathway — named our Album Of The Week — and a pair weeks earlier than that they introduced that they might lastly be headed to the one state they haven’t performed a present in. That tour kicked off final evening with a present at Alice’s Champagne Place in Homer, and it’ll proceed over the following week with gigs in Talkeetna, Fairbanks, and Anchorage.
A number of days in the past, the Anchorage Daily News printed an interview with the band, who appeared excited for his or her stint in Alaska. “Anyone who reads this and has access to a dog sled and will let us ride on it, please tweet at us, email us, whatever you need to do,” the band’s chief Marissa Paternoster stated. “We want to do all the activities. We want to ride on a dog sled, we want to ride on a boat, we want to look at a moose, we want to see the northern lights. We want to do it all.”
“We’ve had 49 states done for quite a number of years now,” drummer Jarrett Dougherty added. “So we’ve always kind of tried to keep a line open to figure out how to get up to Alaska. And since we knew we’re gonna have this new record coming out, we figured that this was the best opportunity to get that done.”
Congrats to Screaming Females, and if you happen to reside in Alaska — go to their present!
