@popvulture have you seen them? I’ve heard their shows are crazy high energy.
-
@Mizmazzle probably a dozen times if I had to guess — for whatever reason they're almost like the official band of Austin, despite not being from here. Definitely super high energy, always worth going. Dwyer brings it. You'll enjoy!
-
@popvulture hell yeah man. I’ve been a fan for like 7-8 years. Been trying to catch them seriously for about 5-6 years and their tours never come to Denver of all places. I almost went down to Albuquerque a couple times.
Except why do they have to be playing on a Wednesday night?? Don’t they know I have school in the morning? Weekday shows are so hard for this old man these days.
-
@Mizmazzle haha I feel ya, man. Hard to keep up with people on rock n' roll time — I know I sure struggle.

@mclaincausey whoa!! Not sure how I missed this!! Guess this was during pandemic times. Can’t believe they sold out Red Rocks (albeit with limited seating). Didn’t think they were that big. They’re playing the Ogden in September, which is obviously way smaller.

@Mizmazzle dead serious. IMO a lousy venue when oversold, which they are notorious for and should be expected for Thee Oh Sees. Bad sightlines and sound, extremely stuffy and sweaty, and getting a drink can be a real odyssey. They got greedy with extending the balcony with the VIP areas which limits visibility from the rest of the balcony. It’s OK when not oversold but IMO even the infamous Fillmore has surpassed it. When oversold, your only hope is to get one of the good spots like rail, bar, or central balcony riser.
It’s also filthy and dilapidated but that I can deal with if I can see and hear.
Surprised and disappointed that a band that can fill Red Rocks wouldn’t wind up at Mission.
-
@mclaincausey I love the gritty feel of the place. I’ve been going to see shows there since I was 19 so it’s just got so many memories for me.
-
@Mizmazzle unquestionably have great memories there and don’t mind a dive (heck my last show was at the Oriental) but I don’t esteem it at all as a quality venue and it can dampen my willingness to see a show. I’m grateful we now have Mission to make it look even worse
Back to topic: check out this lovely tome:
I also ordered WRONG on vinyl. It came out in 1989 just like this video:

Gonna need Alternative Tentacles to hurry the fuck up. Masterpiece of hardcore and in particular drumming. The way they mastered it the drums are very stereophonic too, the toms surround you. Can’t wait!

@WhiskeySandwich said in Music: Metal/Punk Rock:
@tody I’m down with some banjo metal
I'm down with this sentence...like something quoted on a bathroom wall.
-
Speaking of banjo metal… an old fave band of mine. If you’re wondering about the eyepatch- dude wrecked his 4wheeler and as a result his eye and some other parts as well. Was psyched to see this as a comeback, after years of recovery.

Yesterday's concert was pretty great, first time seeing Cynic live (I think). Didn't know the first band (Cryptosis), but they did a decent job. Couple of songs from Obscura:
Septuagint from 2011:
Akroasis from 2016:
Awesomeness from Cynic:
Played the entire Focus album:
Personal favourite off Traced in air:

NOFX released their new EP, Half Album today. It completes the trifecta of Single Album and Double Album which are all songs recorded in 2018. I especially dig I'm a Rat and The Last Drag on this one. I have the vinyl preordered and it should ship out today.
