Wymyns Prysyn - Green Ribber

I booked these fellas on the recommendation of the noise merchants from Friend Collector. FC was releasing their first 12", a snappy little platter. And I'd known Donnells for years, so if he and his boys wanted to play a show, then, by Gawd, I was going to put on a show.

This was Hive Bent's second gig (I'll write more about them in the future). I described Drunk Monk as "Baltimore noise agents" on the Facebook event listing, but I seem to recall them playing spacey surf music, like a less punk Man or Astro-Man? And Wymyns Prysyn? Well, thematically, they were right in line with the rest of the lineup. They made a racket that, 20 years before, would have been on AmRep, Trance Syndicate, or, lord help us, Skin Graft. They lived in that same territory as Drunks With Guns, Dazzling Killmen, KARP, or Clockcleaner.

It turns out all three members of Wymyns Prysyn knew/had worked for friend o' the blog and Atlanta/Athens legend Henry Owings. So we had that to chat about. Something like 15 people showed up to the show. We had van beers afterwards, then went our merry ways into the early April night. The songs on this digital-only release originally appeared in a short run demo from 2010, with a bonus track from the "Tres Umbros" demo tape.
