FELL VOICES + ASH BORER live

If you missed out on the shows we did with Fell Voices and Ash Borer, you missed out on some great modern black metal, true to form. Fell Voices in particular is one of those bands poised to become legendary. Whether they retain an obscure, cult status or blow up like Asunder or Graves at Sea or someone of that ilk, this is a band that people will be raving about in years. For people with little regard or appreciation of the genre, their songs might seem a little long-winded, perhaps a little too "epic," if not outright boring in their bludgeoning dissonance. But for fans of "true" black metal, they have crafted songs that fit the genre to a t, while also imposing a new level of amazing creativity. I feel sorry for everyone who didn't come out last night to the New Orleans show as you may have blew your only chance to ever see this band live.

drunkdriver "self titled LP" LP good god this thing rules....too bad they broke up. excellent dr(p)umm(el)ing, noisy as fuck guitar with perfect tone, creepy hardcore screaming vox...kinda reminds me of mike williams with some echo. KILLER!

[patrick!]

drunkdriver rule(d)! the "knife day" 7" and "born pregnant" lp are the shit. did you see em at the hi ho a couple years back??

[captain beyonce]

naw i missed them...i cant remember why but i think there was a good reason. their drummer Jeremy is SICK! he also plays/played in Pygmy Shrews. i guess they broke up over some internet rape allegations. i dunno jeremy never touched me inappropriately and im HOT! hahahah oh well i hope it's not true (and i don't mean to make light of the situation if it is true....internet police)

I didn't listen to much of anything over the weekend, really, but I did watch The Carter.

One time I made a Weezer/Phobia split cassette tape for myself and Kelly thought that was just wrong. It was pretty bad-ass, though.

[patrick!]

yeah there was some serious drama over that shit. he was in WIVES too who put out a killer lp a few years ago. i think the other two dudes from wives are sucking it up in No Age now.

[captain beyonce]

i never picked up that wives lp.....also some how i have never knowingly or conscientiously listened to no age. i hear/read about them all the time just haven't taken the bait
