I went and saw The Melvins this past Thursday night (All Hallows Eve).

Buzzo was donning this choir robe / muumuu getup that would stand out at a Polyphonic Spree show.

Touring as a trio, they filled the small venue with so much sound. Not sure if it belonged to the venue or The Melvins, but there was this light box mounted high on the wall to where everyone could see everyone, the stage never became dark.

Jeff Pinkus played and looked like he was having the time of his life up on that stage. Shredding the bass with a smile on his face.

Melvins had a sweet merchandise table......all vinyl (even the seven inch records) was $30. I was surprised at the number of magic marker sketches that sold ($20) and the fact they had t-shirts in XXL and XXXL sizes.

Last but not least, Le Butcherette was a total surprise to me. Not knowing much about them, I didn't know what to expect. WOW - her vocals were a mix of Diana Rogerson and PJ Harvey. I enjoyed the fact that a good deal of the songs featured killer keyboards in place of guitar. She was all over the place even doing a song from up on the bar. I can't wait to see them live again.

Caught a Deerhoof show on the fly recently. Last minute decision. Turned out to be a good one. Got to meet the band and get my a vinyl copy of Reveille signed.

Yessir!

Bo Ningen and Savages
was noisey but short

Risto was absolutely fantastic yesterday! Had to buy their Live-cd, because it was their only album I hadn´t got.

_tunic_ · 12.04.2014, 07:03 AM

Mono's set in Brugge (Belgium) was utterly ruined by the drunken howler monkey standing beside me (front center stage). Not sure yet whether I will share the audio recording because of him. Damn shame, otherwise it would have been a brilliant recording. Here's a sample

ilduclo · 12.04.2014, 10:17 AM

^ yeah, that's a horribly painful addition to some good sounds. Here is US, we use elbows and knees to stop that.

Mortte Jousimo · 01.04.2015, 09:53 AM

I saw Teksti-Tv 666 yesterday & it was really great! Never heard four guitars working so well in live situation! The other band Räjäyttäjät was also good.

Last night at Saturn Bar in New Orleans I caught Nathan Bowles (from Pelt) and Elisa Ambrogio (from Magik Markers) as they toured their solo albums. This was the best show of my life... Donald Miller from Borbetomagus happens to live in New Orleans and his trio with Rob Cambre (who has played with Thurston as well as Chris Corsano) and a drummer whose name I've unfortunately forgotten played after Nathan Bowles and the local act Dolphin Mouth.

Donald Miller's group was total free noise. Elisa came on afterwards and played two songs off of her new album with Nathan on drums. Then Donald Miller's group came on for a jam session with Elisa and Nathan. Complete ecstatic chaos. Elisa and Nathan are two super nice folks so make sure you check them out.

BODY/HEAD

utterly stunning, found my jaw simply dropping in awe throughout the performance. pure transcendental/alchemical guitar action.

Two weeks ago I made my way over to Houston to a place called, Khan's "Wine Darts Coffee Art" to see, CJ Boyd

CJ has been on tour for the past seven years while living in his van. I first became aware of CJ with his Sextet release, 'Fleur Du Mal,' which I believe is usually performed in the nude

There were about 25 people when I arrived, most seemed to be regulars at Khan's. During the opening act, close to half left with their drinks and went to a Mexican food restaurant next door.

CJ started with a bass guitar making these wave sounding whale sounds. This slowly built into a fuzzy drone and CJ switched to his stand-up bass......his fingers were so long.

My daughter baked a batch to oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and CJ seemed genuinely appreciative......even emailed a few days later to thank me.

schizophrenicroom · 03.11.2015, 04:21 PM

i saw against me. got covered in pbr and sweat my ass off. it was a typical against me show, and was awesome.

Just saw Faust... 10/10 Crazy!

Toilet & Bowels · 03.29.2015, 03:09 PM

I saw Faust a few years ago and they had a chainsaw that he was waving around (one handed) over the crowd, it was giving me anxiety.

Mortte Jousimo · 03.31.2015, 09:01 AM

Radiopuhelimet & Vaarallista. Vaarallista was ok (they played mostly Mana Mana songs acoustic, also Finnish-translated acoustic cover of Boys Next Door Shivers), Radiopuhelimet was again absolutely fabulous!

Drjohnrock · 03.31.2015, 09:06 PM

This past Friday night: Sebadoh and Qui. Sebadoh were solid, and Qui was the best opening act I've seen in quite some time. This duo from LA (guitarist/bassist/vocalist and drummer/keyboardist/vocalist) played with an amazing intensity and creativity--kind of like a post industrial apocalypse early Pixies, with a lot of shifting rhythms but a broader musical arsenal than Pixies ever had. And with all due respect to Sebadoh, if both bands came back to my town to different clubs on the same date at the same time, I would see Qui. Catch this band if you can.

Toilet & Bowels · 04.08.2015, 01:29 PM

Saw Neil Hagerty/Howling Hex the other day. Aside from one album that is great I've never really been sure what to make of his music since the end of Royal Trux. I'm even less sure now that I've seen him live.

SonikJesus · 04.11.2015, 06:49 PM

drive like jehu at the glasshouse in pomona, ca my city. they were great. reis' guitar was so sick. the date was 4/8
