News Flash:
20 dollars is not much to pay for TEN TOURING ACTS.
Good god. If two bucks per band is too much to pay, I have no idea what a real bargain is. Perhaps the audience should be paid to attend?
I went from Magik Markers on, good times.
MM were far better than last time, enjoyable set
Death Sentence: Panda were my favorite thing of the night; clarinet through some really cool FX, sax, flute, percussion, short choppy tunes, very tight but not tight-assed. Excellent.
Oxbow: the only act I have ever seen that I will call "freakier than Costes."
Excellent musicianship; really top-notch. The singer is a really scary looking African-American guy with lots of tattoos (one of which is a swastika right on his forearm, and a couple of opposite-pointing pentagrams on his shoulders) with a huge vocal range, slowly disrobing, drooling, and none-too-subtly masturbating through his jockey shorts. The guitar work was truly incredible.
Rusted Shut: very loud and sludgy, like a drunken Texan version of Skullflower. Didn't like their vocals at all, but musically I enjoyed them.
Yellow Swans: Excellent set of textured throbbing drones/noise. Highly listenable, but hard to see as they played on the floor.
