For years, Paris Spleen was a fixture in the Tacoma music scene, and its members were part of the local music collective, Team Unicorn. The band's music was dance-punk, with a lyrical flair that tended to bend toward the overtly sexual - They may be the first and last Tacoma band to utilize the phrase, "I just can't wait to get up in your thighs." On Halloween 2009 Paris Spleen played an epic "farewell show." Since that time the band has ended up not quite breaking up, but taking longer and longer hiatuses between performances. Saturday night will showcase Paris Spleen's return, in support of the band's recently unearthed debut LP, The Gesture. In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I booked this show. But in the interest of honesty, I'd be writing about it even if I hadn't.
