Bath Party is that band you hear and wonder why you've never heard it before. Friends and founding band members Mike Misosoup and Justin 'papa' Sochan moved to Portland together to do this: properly bring this city surf-garage-rock to those who are seeking authenticity in it. They're upbeat and poppy enough to bring you up but not in a superficial way. Their pleasantly-hectic technique lingers long after the other surf runners up drift away from mind. Give your ears to "Invention of Language" and try to fight your body from moving. They're performing at the Firkin this Saturday night along with Hobosexual and 100 Watt Mind. No cover. Adults only.
