NYC-based quartet Flechette are loud, lewd, abrasive and angry. As it turns out, these are all good things. Led by singer Isabel Ibsen and guitarist Elliot Glass (both pictured) the band goes for a take-no-prisoners assault that shows heavy debts to American hardcore, Wendy O. Williams and The Stooges. Outside of her work with Flechette, Ibsen, a native of Brazil, has worked as a model and once performed as a member of the all-model band O.M.I. alongside notable cover girl Omahyra Mota. The band makes its Western New York debut this Saturday, (Oct. 15) at Mohawk Place with Buffalo-native Eric Starr filling the drum chair. Support that night comes in the form of Mark Norris and the Backpeddlers and the return of local singer/songwriter Jesse Mank (known to Buffalo music fans from his work with The Disappointments and The Hickory Windbreakers) under his new moniker, Hussalonia. Three of the Flechette’s songs can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/flechette.
Saturday, October 15 at 10pm. Mohawk Place, 47 East Mohawk St. (855-3931). $5.
