This past Monday at Mojo Books & Records there were three bands playing with as much variety and deliciousness as the store's offerings.  Members of Permanent Makeup and Velma and the Happy Campers brought us an early performance from Taxer, a mad and improvised jazzpunk merry-go-round.   Also new on the scene (and with Permanent Makeup credentials) was Piss Ghost, taurine-ripped and pissed-up and playing old school punk.  Finally at this Savage Beat show was Ed Schrader’s Music Beat.  This light-up-drum and bass powered Baltimore two-piece lavishly entertained all present, bringing sharp shards of humour and vocals where Mark E. Smith gloom meets Yasuko Onuki pitch.  Also fuck New York City and microphone chords.  Have a mojo at this photo from Brian Mahar that captures members of all three acts.

2018 note: I can't find the actual photo this bonus cup was written to accompany, but you can see Brian's awesome photos at his instagram here.
