Purling Hiss was always a home-made daydream conceived in the cortexial-folds of Mike Polizze's mind, OK? That conception, initially four-tracked and blown out in Polizze's basement all by his lonesome, has blossomed into the high-flying dive-bomb blister of a power trio that festers and oozes with high-gain six-string slingin' across a bubbling, slithering rhythm section. That's the vibe of last year's Weirdon, which cloaks some of the best pure-rock righting in recent times, and 2013's Water On Mars, which carried serious heft. But Mike's a shape-shifter, and 2016 begins with a vacuum suck back to basics - starting tonight in Brooklyn, Purling Hiss hit the road as a solo-affair, just like it started back in Dizzy Polizzy's sweaty mind. This weekend is an early taste of solo Hiss before they hit the big stages opening for Kurt Vile - get down and get intimate while you can!
