The only thing I enjoyed by them was an improv set by their drummer and guitarist at the now defunct Bardens Boudoir in London a few years ago.

Unsane with Plaque Marks, both really enjoyable excellent sets, unfortunately marred by amateur sound guy. The venue has a decent system, I've seen it work well for other bands, but the usual sound guy was absent. Also, the fucking door man was a rude little shit....

yeah that's it, pure gimmick. sort of seem like a bit of a pisstake on that high rise sound but without any passion....really proficient I suppose but totally hollow. very odd that haino was playing with them to begin with, but he's been doing some really odd shit domestically of late.

having said that, the bassist is playing in that new nanjo-less version of mainliner which isn't half bad.

Unsane was my last show too. Ottobar in Baltimore. They were loud as fuck and I was right in front of Chris. I scored his setlist too.

Wait...what? Unsane are touring again? Certainly going to check that out. Saw them a few times quite some time ago and fucking loved their show. Scattered... will always be a classic album in my eyes.

Edit: /Sadface. I see I am just a month too late to this news. Pretty bummed right now. I do see that they released a new album just a few months ago though. Does it hold up? Going to go check it out after lunch.

Saturday afternoon I went to Vinal Edge Records in Houston for a free show. Thickets is the Improvisational trio of Austin & Carol Cooley and Rebecca Novak. Voice manipulation, trumpet blast, continuous bell tones and chains being drug across metal.

Next up was Sjizka Ueda from Japan. She flew in the night before to play this gig.
Shizka is in Michigan this week recording her first album......she sounded very Laetitia Sadier-ish.

Two Houston legends, Tom Carter and John Kennedy have a project called, Morning Scales The Mountain. Watching John Kennedy play drums was worth the drive over.

I left Vinal Edge about 10:30 and headed to the next venue where I arrived in time to see, Yoo Doo Right. I wasn’t familiar with them, but they were great live. The perfect band to open for Acid Mothers Temple.

This was my third time seeing AMT in the past six years. I love the new lead singers voice......and smile!!! Their cover of Gongs - Flying Teapot, was the highlight of the set.

Several people from the Vinal Edge gig, including Tom Carter, showed up to see AMT. I couldn’t help wondering, when are Kawabata Makoto & Tom Carter going to record together?

I got to see Minami Deutsch in a small venue called Mondo Bizarro (less than 100 people capacity), and it was really cool to be there and witness such a show.

Slayer's Dallas show was actually really fucking great. They scheduled a second leg after I bought those tix and are actually coming here to OKC next month, so seeing it again soon.

Bertrand · 11.14.2018, 02:32 PM

I've seen Kikagaku Moyo last friday and it could have been good. Could for it was marred by some audience members. The band's music doesn't really make me wanna jump around and holler, but some guys felt they had to. Paris crowds in new maybe-hip places will always be terrible.

They following day I crossed the border, entered Belgium and attended a festival in Belgium. No such problem there, and I've enjoyed Courtney Barnett (whose voice's really good now) and Dream Wife (whose show was too short; boy, can their guitarist play! and their bass player!).

_slavo_ · 11.15.2018, 03:12 AM

Pan Daijing was a blast

_slavo_ · 11.26.2018, 10:02 AM

I saw Pan American last Friday.
Very nostalgic music, I used to listen to that stuff some 15-16 years ago.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Cool.

John Carpenter. Not sure why the extra instruments in the live scenario are necessary when minimalism is what JC cut his teeth on. Drums?! Yea. Should've been the gig to complete life but turned out to be just ...pretty good.

Bytor Peltor · 12.02.2018, 03:32 PM

Lucky you! I didn’t realize Mark Nelson was still performing......did he play anything new, did he mention a new album?

not really. I am not very familiar with his recent albums so I don't really know what he actually played. However, it sounded good. It was a combo of laptop electronics with live guitar (in a very Labradford-like fashion)

_slavo_ · 12.03.2018, 03:41 AM

I saw Caterina Barbieri live last Saturday.

It was honestly one of the best concerts in a very long time. Just amazing.
