Stinking Lizaveta rocked it

Man, Stinking Lizaveta was sweet. I totally dug 13th Moon, but this track was awesome too (Scream of the Iron Iconoclast):



This was not filmed at AS220 obviously, but the video still is sweet. Actually, this song was way better here in Providence.

Megasus plays tonight with The Body and others...

We are playing a B-Sharp night this Friday with a bunch of sick bands. I have seen the line-up in three different orders...but I know you will be there for the whole thing so order doesn't matter ;)

Brian is going on tour for over a month with Lightning Bolt so this will be the only Megasus show for a while. We are hoping to record some demos before he splits which would keep me busy for a while.




Here is some info from the B-Sharp/As220 listing:

B Sharp Presents: The Body, Stinking Lizaveta, Megasus, Weedeater and Hard Drug

After four album releases and 10 years of touring around the country blitzing audiences with their famously dynamic live shows, Philadelphia’s instrumental power trio STINKING LIZAVETA (named for a Dostoevsky character) has become an institution of sorts in the US underground music scene. Their eclectic style of music incorporates post-rock, metal, sludge, prog, stoner and doom with jazz stylings and eastern influences. RockDetector's book, 'History of Stoner, Goth, and Doom', categorizes their music as 'doom-jazz', a label that the band have taken to citing when asked to describe their music. Out of the ashes of Buzzoven comes frontman/bass player extraordinaire Dixie's new band WEEDEATER. Fuzzed-out stoner/doom rock is what Weedeater is all about. This shit is not for the weak; this is how the world sounds after a week of partying or five pot brownies later. It's a CD that kind of hypnotizes you. Everything is slower, everything is heavier, and the true evil of the world is delivered through Weedeater. THE BODY (Providence) is two men and several amps, one drum set and one guitar turned up really really loud. Two of the nicest most upbeat dudes playing the most wicked evil rock.

I Heart Danava

I dunno much about these guys other than they are from Portland Oregon, but I have been listening to them for a while and can't get enough. Danava is filling the hole in my heart where YOB used to be.

Papercuts

Man...Will Schaff's cut paper pieces are bananas.
B A N A N A S.

Have you seen them?

Look Here.

Tourfilter

First off...I suck. Slayer sold out so after all of my complaining and procrastinating...I lost out. Oh well, next time. Last time they were here in Providence my friends and I heard that Slayer was going to be at Dave and Buster's after the show. Naturally, we went there.

It was weird. As if the Providence Place mall isn't weird enough...as if Dave and Buster's isn't weird enough...there was Slayer. In the mall. It was just two worlds colliding. I didn't like it. I never wanted my Slayer and my Mall to mix. eh.

Anyway, the reason for this post was to talk about TOURFILTER.com. Have you heard of it? It is so sweet. It is still in it's infancy in that many bands, etc are not yet supported, but you can see how rad this will be when it really hits critical mass. Go sign up to help make it better.

I added their feed over there on the right too.

Man, I need to figure out how to get LOTSOFNOISE to do RSS.

Slayer is coming...

So SLAYER is coming to Lupo's in a few days . I kinda wish they were here tonight. I bet they put on a sweet, heart-felt Valentine's day show. I mean Valentimes.

Anyway, the price is pretty steep...35 bucks, 40 day of show. That is too much for a show if you ask me, but I will probably go anyway because you are basically stupid if Slayer is in your town and you don't go. Yup.

If you do not want to shell out 40 bucks, here is a video of my favorite Slayer track ever, Black Magic (plus a little Raining Blood too).

Good locals tonight

A good local show tonight. The Set of Red Things is early on and Lolita Black is later. I have not seen any of the other bands yet...so I can't say boo about them yet. The show is also a benefit for NYC warehouse workers...

See you there.

Trying out new blog features, over there ----->

Blogger added a bunch of decent add ons for folks like me that are hanging on by a thread when it comes to "code" and "technology". Anyway, I will be adding things like RSS feeds from local heroes like Tiny Showcase as well as other linky type things. If you have any cool ideas, bring it. Send me an IM in the forums (name=ryan).
