It's said that musicians are married to their music. Fortunately for rockers Fred and Toody Cole, they're also married to each other. That has to be at least part of the reason the duo has been able to be so prolific. Since the late 80's, they fronted Oregon garage punk trio Dead Moon, and were together personally and in other bands for 20 years before that. When Dead Moon split in 2006, the pair picked up a new drummer (Kelly Halliburton) and name (Pierced Arrows), and were already playing shows less than half a year later. Their songs carry an air of foreboding and menace, the kind of tension found in the rainstorms that precede tornadoes and hidden in the frames of shadowy Western films. The band's latest, "Descending Shadows," is both pure grit and tender emotion. Grimetime and The End share the bill.
Pierced Arrows plays Monday, March 1 at 8 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $8. 454-2966
