Live at the Library! Concert with Survival Knife and Marriage + Cancer The punk bands, with zine writer Ened for openers, will play at the Olympia library June 13 Punk bands, Survival Knife and Marriage + Cancer, will play after hours at the Olympia Timberland Library on Friday, June 13 at 8 p.m. Opening the show will be zine writer Ened with an interactive reading from one of many short story accounts of her wilder years. She will also facilitate psychic novel readings for audience participants from her most recent book, a lesbian soft-core romance about pig farmers. Come prepared with a clarifying question to ask the psychic novel, Ened said. The band Marriage + Cancer from Portland, which works up new material in one member’s basement, performs with groups such as Red Kross, Ty Segall, Grass Widow, White Fence and others. The Portland Mercury calls their music “crooked, anxious, punk-flecked rock.” Olympia’s Survival Knife, the evening’s headliner band, is two songwriters, Justin Trosper and Brandt Sandeno, along with Meg Cunningham on bass and Kris Cunningham on drums. Trosper and Sandeno were members of Unwound until that band broke up in 2002. Survival Knife toured last year with Modest Mouse and this spring released Loose Power, its debut full-length album that joins classic rock with “the feverish angular pulse of post-punk/post-hardcore,” according the band’s webpage at http://riotactmedia.com/roster/survival-knife. Trosper’s lyrics have returned to the existential and global concerns that marked much of Unwound’s material. Coming back to Olympia after some years in Los Angeles, Trosper has taken up his guitar against the world, his words more direct than ever. The concert is sponsored by the Friends of the Olympia Timberland Library. The library is located at 313 8th Avenue SE. For more information call (360) 352-0595 or visit www.TRL.org.
