The Forgery Series is a solo proj from Obits guitarist Sohrab Habibion along with some friends from Garden Variety, Radio 4, and Gas Huffer. They are “trying to tone it down a bit and make it less overtly rock,” but that may change as they they refine what they are doing.

They are playing their 3rd show on Friday night (probably just after 8pm) @ Mercury Lounge with Disappears, The Ponys and Woven Bones.

Here is their tribute to The Nerves. Listen.
