Not much has changed in the intervening decade. Oleg Guitarkin & Zombierella are as close to successors to Lux & Ivy as we're going to get, and their patented mix of surf, sex, rockabilly, and horror is timeless - as befits the undead. Orig from St Petersburg, Russia, Messer Chups have been around for decades, with a discography, including numerous spin-off projects*, that practically rivals The Fall or Guided by Voices (slight exaggeration). They also tour so relentlessly, one wonders if they sleep. But again, being undead probably makes that a moot point.

What's great about surf is that the guitar virtuosity is in the service of havin a good ol' rock n roll party. As opposed to jazz, prog, or the "shredders," where the songs are sometimes mere templates for the guitar pyrotechnics. Oleg can indeed bust strings with the best of em, but the mostly instrumental songs are joyous, upbeat, and over in a few minutes. Surf rock - the fun is baked right in.

Bassist/style icon Zombierella adds occasional vox to break up the relentless instro attack. Like Fred Schneider, she's not exactly a "singer" in the classic sense, but she has style. When she sings "Call Me Zombie," is she asking us to address her in a certain way, or is she asking a zombie to give her a ring sometime? See, I think about stuff.

Greg: "Third time I've seen em, with a different drummer every time!" Tonight's skin-beater had long hair, beard, and answered to "Rasputin."

Unlikely instro surf-style covers are one of the band's specialties. No "Twin Peaks Theme" like last time I saw them, but we got TWO Sinatra covers, and "Love Will Tear Us Apart." I've never known them to play the usual standards, but perhaps saluting the fact that they were visiting the birthplace of surf, they ended with "Miserlou."

openers Christina Jean and the Howlers were fronted by a sexy blonde singer who plays swell garage-abilly. I had already discovered them somehow (Bandcamp, maybe?) and have played em a couple times on my show. Good times. There was another band, but Greg didn't want to stand all night. So we sat in the patio with all the goths, surfers, rockabillies, and punks. I might have been the only one there with no tattoos. Rebel that I am.

Comet Ping Pong, Washington DC, April 7, 2026

I’ve seen Mirah in concert more than almost any single musician, save Mary Lou Lord. Based on my own count, this month was the ninth, or maybe eighth-and-a-half, time I’ve seen her in concert, and there’s almost no one for whom I’d make that much of an ongoing effort. It’s a testament to her continued musical exploration that I continue to find new ways to experience her music; Back when I lived in Portland, I saw her at VFW halls and all-ages indie scenes, and since then at punk clubs, ornate shows at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, quiet shows in the homes of her fans, and last year with a harpist at a distillery. I’ve also written a lot of words about her music, although I’ve rarely exchanged more than a few words with her at a time.

Anyway, this month, she was scheduled at Comet Ping Pong in northwest DC, in support of her first album in quite a few years, Dedication. She’s been a prolific songwriter and collaborator for many decades, since the late 1990s in the Olympia scene, but this slowdown was driven by her motherhood and the pandemic coming in close succession, which left her relatively isolated and out of the music scene for several years.

I don’t think Dedication is one of Mirah’s better records, but it does feature a complete outlier of a track: “Catch My Breath,” almost a pure 80s pop number with extensive elaboration by Jenn Wasner (Flock of Dimes/Wye Oak). It’s such an atypical song for her that when it was released last October, I wondered if it might portend a radical change of pace for her musically. Not so, however. Most of Dedication, which Mirah featured in her set, is her typical mode: heartfelt, emotional, intimate. As it turned out, to my surprise, this was intended as a full band show, but she and her bandmates all got COVID, and only she recovered and tested negative in time to drive down from Brooklyn for the set. (What is this, 2021?) So she was in almost solo-busking mode, but she’s a truly accomplished guitarist, and has one of the best and most supple voices in indie music, so it was fulfilling on its own, even if the song selection was heavy on the new material.

Indeed, she did all ten songs off of Dedication, beginning with “Ballad of the Bride of Frankenstein,” although she didn’t exactly follow the track list of the album. The performance of “Catch My Breath” proves that the song works just as well solo as it does with full pop orchestration, and her songs about motherhood (“Mama Me”) were more effective and affecting in concert than they are on record, where they could be a bit cloying. And unfortunately, around halfway into the Mirah set, my wife was flaming out. Comet Ping Pong is most renowned (if you’re not a QAnon supporter) for its live shows, but they don’t clear the table tennis equipment out until after the dinner crowd, so it was well after 11:00 pm by the time she took the stage, and my wife loves Mirah but lacks my tolerance for late nights in rock clubs. So I missed about half of the set (thus the 8 1/2 count in the first graf), including a few covers from her collaborative album with Thao Nguyen, Thao + Mirah, released back in 2011 on Kill Rock Stars. Based on the set list, she completely omitted some of her most beloved records, like her debut You Think It’s Like This But Really It’s Like This and C’mon Miracle, reaching back into her catalogue only for “Mt. Saint Helens,” from her second album, Advisory Committee.

Because everything starts so late at Comet, we did see the full sets from both opening acts. Openers for the show were Dim Wizard, led by DC promoter and impresario David Combs, who is also a former member of Bad Moves and does a lot of bookings in DC, and Jane O’Neill, a DC-area singer-songwriter in the process of relocating to New York. (Hilariously, her name led to some audience member confusion with the long-standing indie-folk songwriter and artist Tara Jane O’Neil, formerly of Rodan, who has collaborated with Mirah in the past.)

I have seen Dim Wizard a few times, usually at Comet, and Combs made a point to play a more subdued and chill set than he usually does in the context of Mirah as the headliner. It was still pretty loud, however; fuzzy guitar-pop anthems. I found myself paying more attention to the Dim Wizard show than I had in the past; Combs is a thoughtful guy and he spoke with genuine affection for Mirah (with whom he has no obvious aesthetic linkage), especially in an elliptical reference to one of her finest songs, “Jerusalem,” for “singing about the genocide in Palestine from a Jewish perspective.” As a Jew who’s lived in Israel and has typically conflicted opinions about the Israeli state, it certainly got my attention; Dim Wizard presumably is the first band to write a psychedelic power pop song about the Palestinian cause from a Jewish perspective. Otherwise, the Dim Wizard Live Rock and Roll Experience is all grooves and hooks and fuzz, akin to Superchunk or The Clean, or maybe Dinosaur Jr. in less shredding mode. Jane O’Neill, conversely, was aesthetically closer to Mirah with sturdy folk-rock Americana songs, and might have fit in better sonically, but her songs were a bit wan in comparison. It was well-sung and ably performed but the songs just didn’t stick.

The Miracle Theatre, Washington D.C.
March 24, 2026

Two names I have been familiar with for years, but never followed in depth, are Mary Lattimore and Julianna Barwick. A harpist, Lattimore is the musician whose work I know better; I actually have a CD of hers. Barwick, whose profile is likely higher, is an experimental vocalist, synthesizer player, and composer, whose music I periodically hear excerpted on NPR. Both, I would say, traffic in an area that edges between experimental and art music and modern classical with influences from New Age music and alternative. Barwick, particularly, comes at her work through a lens that welcomes in an ear to dissonance and ambient spaciness; she does a lot with analogue looping and modular synthesizers. Lattimore travels in an art form that to me is more background music; lush and magical but a bit ephemeral for my taste. But both get a lot of attention from Pitchfork and clearly travel in music that is alternative in distribution and aesthetic, even if not always in emotional tone. Indeed, if you heard it as background music in a cafe over brunch, you’d likely only be caught up in the surface prettiness and not any of the underlying messages.

I heard a fair amount of hype of their debut collaborative record Tragic Magic on NPR All Songs Considered, of course, and respectful interest from other venues. But it wouldn’t have been my thing except for a friend who ended up bailing on this show to see a member of Phish do a thing elsewhere in DC, which says a fair amount about the breadth of his own tastes.

So I invited Heff and we made our way to Barracks Row in Capitol Hill, the first time I’ve ever seen a band at the Miracle Theatre. It’s a vintage, neighborhood movie theater that now houses a small stage, vintage screenings of movies, and a nondenominational evangelical church. The crowd was maybe a few dozen people? Not a lot for what I envision to be an expensive show to tour, given the logistics of Lattimore’s harp, Barwick’s synthesizer and electronics, etc.

What we saw and heard was lovely and periodically gripping but a bit hard to define. The show was very concise, maybe 50 minutes, no opener, and they did most, maybe all, of Tragic Magic, periodically interspersing the yearning, dreamy, periodically unsettling music with their deeply thoughtful discussion of the songwriting process that led to the album; specifically, their residency at a museum of antique musical instruments in Paris. Collaboration was very much in the two women’s minds; not only did they develop the music together, but they tapped into an earlier inspiration, Roger Eno, who contributed a song (perhaps barely a sketch, turned into a song), and Vangelis, whose soundtrack to Blade Runner is the source of “Rachel’s Song.” I happen to barely know these earlier influences although I have some of the Roger Eno work with his better-known brother, and of course I’ve heard Vangelis soundtracks. But that genre of work isn’t in my own musical vernacular to characterize as aptly as I usually like to do.

Where I found the concert most compelling is the moments in which Lattimore and Barwick presented the context of the songs in their prefatory remarks; the discussion of the Los Angeles wildfires that threatened their homes while they were in Paris but a sense of urgency on “Melted Moon” and the sampled sounds of raindrops in their cover of “Rachel’s Song.” (Of course, the torrential rains in Blade Runner carry a very different emotional weight than the promise of rain in the midst of a catastrophic wildfire.) The friendship and mutual respect that Lattimore and Barwick enjoy also shone through in the performance; some tracks were clearly a harp showcase in which Barwick primarily was in a support role, and others allowed Barwick’s inventiveness with loops and modular synthesizers to take lead. It was altogether compelling but still basically impenetrable at times. And then, basically, the show as over, just as the mood and sensibility was starting to convey its own internal logic.

There's something truly magical about a bands music that reveals its beauty slowly and rewards a patient listener, like an old friend, with repeated visits.
