Well fuck me running! Though I've never fully understood that exclamation, what I do understand is what a crazy spectacular, not-to-miss, drop-everything-and-get-your-ass-there kind of show is headed to Northern Wednesday. Wild Flag. Just put this band to the forefront of your attention now. Like a goddamn everything-that-has-managed-to-stay-right-about-rock supergroup, Wild Flag is Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney), drummer Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks), Mary Timony (Helium, Autoclave, the Mary Timony Band) and Rebecca Cole (the Minders, the Shadow Mortons). Just think about that for a second. Apparently, Wild Flag recently announced a) its existence, and b) intentions to release a debut album for Merge Records early next year. People will be talking about this band. Some already are. See Wild Flag now.
