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.”
