The Bad Penny (beta)

The Shrine in Boise is on fire this week, having hosted tastemaker-appetizing performances by the likes of Greet Death, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Bass Drum of Death in the last three nights alone. The venue aims to continue its hot streak with another must-see gig this evening, featuring Mexico City-based post-punk quintet Diles Que No Me Maten with local band Chief Broom of Boise’s own Mishap Records handling opening duties.

Chief Broom frontman Shadrach Tuck (also of Trauma Kit and owner of Mishap) and drummer Max Voulelis (also of Porcelain Tongue) imparted their excitement for the gig to The Bad Penny on Sunday night.

Diles Que No Me Maten “came through [Boise] last fall, and the whole band couldn’t make it, so I ended up doing an acoustic, stripped-down version of the set,” Tuck recalled. “It was just guitar, vocals, cello and pedal steel. It was fun. We kind of became friends after that show.”

Voulelis chimed in: “They’re kind of like experimental jazz-infused post-punk with lots of interesting spoken-word passages and great singing and vocals all in Spanish. It’s fucking sick.”

Diles Que No Me Maten will presumably be pleased to perform again with their Boise buds, but either way, area fans of Chief Broom will be in for a treat at the show. Tuck and Voulelis revealed that they just debuted some new material at an appearance at a festival in Missoula, Montana, in August. They plan to roll out four or five of the new songs at the Shrine this evening. They added that they’re hoping the tunes make the cut on Chief Broom’s next full-length, which they’re aiming for release in the first half of next year.

“We have probably five songs that we’re OK with right now,” Tuck said. “Probably early next year, we’ll have enough to record and then probably do so in the springtime. We’re really excited about the new material. Every artist says their next material is the best they’ve made, but I totally stand behind it.”

Persona 749, a post-punk/new wave band that put out its first LP earlier this year and staged their inaugural tour in the spring, will play a set after Chief Broom and before Diles Que No Me Maten.

Get tickets for the show here. Cost is about $24. Doors are at 7 p.m., with Chief Broom likely to start the show an hour later.
