For a cruddy local garage-rock band still shy of their first birthday, Fuck Knights are turning heads because of, or perhaps despite, their name. The trio—Sir Getsalottapuss, Sir Fuxalot, and Lord Ballahag—recently released a free live album (accessible via their MySpace page) and will take the Kitty Cat Klub stage to beat willing listeners senseless with their face-melting pig iron. The record, which the group may well have recorded on a secondhand boom box, is salt in our wounds and glass in our eyes—and we love it with pumping fists. Its eight tracks deliver a combat boot to the face of all things musically obligatory, while not further soiling the flag of a grimy punk-rock nation. The more florid Me and My Arrow, whose large roster prompts the question, "What comes after octet?" join Fuck Knights, as do highly tuneful classic-rock throwbacks Victory Ship.
