Thanks in large part to the embrace of certain indie rock critics such as Byron Coley, Cleveland’s Death of Samantha became a very big deal with underground scenesters. Although the band existed only for about six years in the late ’80s and released three albums, their memory has lingered long. The band’s front man John Petkovic quickly formed Cobra Verde, still a going concert.
Death of Samantha has done a few reunion shows here and there, including a headline appearance at WRUW 91.1 FM’s Studio-A-Rama two years ago. And they recently released a double album called If Memory Serves Us Well. Now there’s another chance to hear them if you act quickly. They’re doing a show down at Pat’s in the Flats. It’s a tiny venue so you might want to mosey over to the band’s website quickly to see if you can snag a ticket.
They’re $10.
