SUBMIT AN EVENT TO METROACTIVE:CLUBS Picks for the week of February March 5-11, 2008 Thursday March 13 Johnny V's 31 E. Santa Clara St San Jose 408.292.5265 $7 Guns Don't Argue THE UNDERGROUND punk scene is as strong as ever, especially in the recesses of SoCal suburbia. Orange County power trio Guns Don't Argue has recently surfaced, formed from the wreckage of a number of extinct bands including Saving Grace and Sleeping With the Enemy. Once again, bassist/vocalist Zach Paul has hooked up with "Shakes" the drummer, whipped up a clever band-name and written a handful of songs using the classic punk four-chord progression. If bands like No Use for a Name and Rancid still hold sleeves in your CD case, you'll be right at home. Jonny Manak, Perfect Machines, Rivals and Sore Thumbs also perform. Tuesday March 18 The Fillmore 1805 Geary, San Francisco 408.998.TIXS $26.50 The Boredoms AT THE FOREFRONT of Japan's flourishing noise-rock community (yes, flourishing) is the Boredoms, a maniacal group of modern abstract artists who seem to love nothing more than creating some of most nonsensical (and least accessible) audio recordings known to man. Characterized by relentless cacophony and bizarre sonic overlaying, the Boredoms employ a barrage of unconventional instruments, many of which are far from the musical kind. Nevertheless, the erratic musings have managed to capture a wide audience of underground hipsters, which culminated in a Lollapalooza appearance in the mid-'90s. For those unfazed by a lack of coherent melody or structure, the Boredoms are a viable glimpse into the realm of insatiable weirdness. ©Copyright 2008 Metro Newspapers. All rights reserved.
