presley: wow. their name was sort of dumb when I looked at it, but they were amazing. it started off sounding like the parts that I love from the one-hit-wonder band hum, but it didn't just rest there. they mixed in semi-sonic youth, slint, and yes, even a bit of the more spacey parts of conifer. they had a few spacey repetitous loops, but they would be cut short by guitar riffs that could have been plucked from curtian society's note book, both echoy, sweet, and distance all at the same time. the vocals were VERY sparce.. like conifer sparce. it also helped that I was majorly pumped by the pictures that I took of them. they had a movie playing behind them. The only flaw was something happening to the bass so for 30 seconds while he switched up, they had to perform without him. All in all, their set alone would have made it worth anyone coming to this.. and since they started at 7pm, you could have caught their set and still gone to DeeDee's or whatever other show you were suppose to go to.

heretic's fork: it was at this point that I realized that the movie in the background was a function of the room and not of the first band. definitely not my bag. they were an ok band with a lot of 70's influences that shone through a lot. but over that was a 90's feeling like all the rock bands that sprung out with people trying to sound like stone temple pilots or sound garden just slowed down a few rpms so that it's a bit more proding in spots. Like all the bands that I've heard in this vien, they were very heavy on the floor tom, giving it a semi-indian drum circle sounds that I heard at bars around 96/97. they have a CD coming out at some point, once they finish recording it.

ichabod: the only other time I saw them, I don't remember them being so stoner rock. I had heard from a bunch of people that that is what they sounded like now. needless to say, I was very interested in hearing it. with all the "stoner rock" hype that I heard, they really haven't changed their sounds that much since I saw them. it was basically the same with some fx on the vocals. they had a couple guest singers too. one guy that I didnt know and one guy that I didnt see. I heard from someother people that steve austin came out and sang with them. whether it did happen or not, I don't know. they also had the largest crowd of the whole show.

sumo: they were interesting to watch and the music wasn't that bad either. I guess they share a practice space with blistered earth. the lead singer was in his own little world for most of the set, stamping around the stage almost rocking it to pieces. I don't think it was ready for that at all. the crowd was completely into them too. I'm sure the energy in the room only helped them playing better.

we're all gonna die: I think I saw them at a boston's dead show... or something... their first few songs answer the question what if june of 44 (or slint for that matter) had danzig singing for them. I'm a huge slint fan so that did it for me. the last songs they did slipped more into 70s sabbath sound from there.

today is the day: this is the single best performanace I've seen from them. they played as a 4 piece, featuring the first show from the keyboardist and the drummer. they played songs off all their passed albums, 1..1..1..1...2..2..2..2 it was awesome. including tapes & samples that are in their songs. for those who missed this, you surely missed out.
