Corners report
The Athens-based Four Corners converge on the Village for a night combining yesteryear hip and now urgency.

The Four Corners are a band out of Athens, Georgia, with a sound that's
undeniably sleek and infectious. Grounded in the mod sound of the '60s but
by no means trapped there, this quintet's songs fuse grooving and
sophistication into a throughly modern sounding formation.

On their freshly
released CD, "Say You're A Scream" (on Kindercore Records)
they put forth a tight blend of yesteryear hip and now urgency. Just try and
stop shimmying to the sweeping rhythm of the way-cool title cut — bet you
can't. Tracy Hatch's vocals have a graceful sheen and the guitar work of
Ryan Lewis and the mysteriously named Ice is throughly skillful. Hatch's
Farfisa playing adds a retro-colorful flourish to their tunes.
Aside from
their finely-honed originals, The Four Corners lend their hand to a few
covers, most notably the chestnut "Long Tall Shorty" and the Stooges classic
"No Fun."
They'll be appearing the the Village Underground on the 25th on one
of the increasingly popular Cavestomp shows, this one headlined by
quintessential garage-psych geezers The Pretty Things and featuring
appearances by The Cynics and Mondo Topless, who should shake things up quite
a bit.
