A lot of times a band in one part of the country (or world) finds that another band is using its name, and the next thing you know, lawyers are involved.
Not so with Cleveland’s Wetbrain and Baltimore’s Wetbrain.
Instead, the two bands have booked a show together at Now That’s Class called Wetbrain Baltimore vs. Wetbrain Cleveland to battle for Wetbrain Supremacy. Ownership of the name is not at stake, just bragging rights, which both will probably claim.
Baltimore’s Wetbrain is a new four-woman punk band who cite influences like Bad Brains and Bikini Kill. They’ve just released their debut album.
Wetbrain Cleveland is a bludegoningly heavy group sporting influences of sludge, stoner, death and black metal. They describe themselves as “four drunken sufferers of terminal stupidity making uninteresting ‘music’ they hope someone will get killed while listening to sometime.”
Let’s hope they’re good hosts.
Drug Problem and Kill the Hippies are also on the bill.
Admission is $5.
