At The Bakery

Penny Drop and RTRFM 92.1 are pleased to present for the first time in Perth Wild Flag.

With members hailing from Portland Oregon and Washington DC, and together flaunting some serious musical pedigree, Wild Flag is Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, Mary Timony and Rebecca Cole. Between them, they have played in some acclaimed and influential bands over the years, including Sleater-Kinney, Helium, The Minders and Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks to name just a few.

Forming in 2010 without a bassist (like Sleater-Kinney), Wild Flag have put the emphasis squarely on grappling guitar play, splashy melodies and hard-charging drums.

With interlocking guitarists Timony and Brownstein taking turns singing, and Weiss on drums and Cole on keyboards, this super-group offering is as cohesive as it is exuberant. From the mod frenzy of Romance to the psych-tinged Glass Tambourine, Wild Flag ring out loud and clear on their self-titled debut – there are no wasted moments.
