MP3: Devastator by Catfish Haven
MP3: Used Kids by Earwig

Catfish Haven played the Donewaiting.com SXSW show so we’re really happy to have them in Columbus. Last time they played town was with Lucero and lots of bottles broke. Their new album (out yesterday) is starting to get some great reviews.

Earwig is a Columbus institution. Always on target, always a lot of fun, I’m glad they’re playing the show. Preston Furman plays .5 shows a year so we’re glad they’re getting together for this one. And The Exceptionals are a great new-ish addition to the Columbus scene.

Show starts around 10. It’s free. It’s at Carabar. And you should be there too.

Earwig’s still working it and HOLY CRAP is this remix of the fan favorite “Used Kids” nothing short of amazing. We love Earwig here at Donewaiting. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a million more times (if I say it 100 times a day, it’ll only take me 27 or so years) Earwig’s got a hearty meat-and-potatoes midwest indie rock sound so to hear this techno/danceclub take on the song … damn, I NEVER would have seen that one coming. But here it is, the DJ Peter Carli (of XM radio) remix:

MP3: “Used Kids” (Radiation Room Remix)

To borrow a line from a song from my good friends The Damnwells, catch it while you can it’s the feel good hit of the summer.

Earwig’s next full band rock show (they’ve got an acoustic show in Reynoldsburg this week) is Friday, May 16 at the Rumba Cafe.

Here’s the MTV-ready video for the original version of “Used Kids” (thanks Lizard for basically writing your own article!).

PS: It should be noted that Ron House no longer works at Used Kids.

This video reminds me of a nightmare I’ve had on more than one occasion.
