Mon., Jan. 7, Whore Paint

In urban slang, the term “whore paint” refers to the type of bright, heavy makeup a woman slathers on her face. Typically, the lady who wears such cosmetics is thought to be shallow—obsessed with her physical appearance to the point of rendering it nearly unrecognizable from her true self. The women in Rhode Island's Whore Paint, on the other hand, craft post-punk music so decidedly raw and self-assured, there's no need to worry they'll wander down a sequined Kardashian path anytime soon. Rather, tracks such as “Fuck You I'm Dead” and “Amen” are so fiercely feminist and aggressively riff driven, they'll peel that layer of Mac Cosmetics right off your face. 1221 1/2 Fourth Street in Davis, http://whorepaintpvd.tumblr.com.
