Gang of Four twiddler, meet a gang of three: Wet Confetti. Dave Allen, the G4 bassist, played on and produced the Portland, Ore., combo's new album, Laughing, Gasping. You can also catch the trio in Brendan Canty's third Burn to Shine DVD, along with Sleater-Kinney, the Decemberists, and the Shins - burning down the house with the sheer rock.

These kids will be playing at the Hemlock Tavern, tonight, Feb. 2, on a bill with the Fucking Ocean and Fierce Antler. Too much.
