Columbus, Ohio's Matt Whitehurst struck gold when he posted the genre label "shitgaze" on his band's MySpace a few years back. The portmanteau of caca and shoegaze, the late 80's/early 90's British scene focused on crescendoing distorted guitars and angelic ethereal vocals gives a certain life to his band's ironic, purposefully messy garage rock. It's a mantle others who play lo-fi rock have taken on (or vehemently avoided), but comparatively, Psychedelic Horseshit is just a little more out-there than its contemporaries - part poppy guitar songs, part noise experimentalism. The name alone is nearly as good and as accurate an advertisement as any.
Psychedelic Horseshit plays Thursday, March 18 at 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966
