I saw Battles about a week ago, and they blew my mind. The electricity went out at one point and everyone kept singing the vocal lines from Atlas. It was cool, trust me.

This wednesday. So stoked.

Also going to go see the Battles on the 16th. I hope it will be as good as everyone says.

do all you f[SIZE="2"]aggots[/SIZE] live in the same town or does Battles just tour like 10 cities a night?

They're doing a national tour atm.

I'm considering flying to see them because it would be fun. It's lame though, they're coming to Australia and only playing two cities. Blonde Redhead too. It's such a waste, why would you fly so far to play two shows?

Don't worry I'm sure she appreciates it

[quote]Polyphonic Spree ruled tonight. Seeing a 30 piece band cover Nirvana's Lithium was pretty awesome.[/quote]
Saw them on Friday night, they put on a great show.

I'm in Toronto.

[QUOTE=Zorg;14911425]I'm in Toronto.[/QUOTE]

I don't care.

[QUOTE=YourBiggestFan;14909996]I've heard the Polyphonic Sprees shows are awesome. So jealous :(.

In other news, **** cockroaches. I can deal with any other godforsaken bug, but NOO, a cockroach has to be crawling on my wall. ****ers. I just had to kill it with a shoe.[/QUOTE]

Yea, the show was awesome.

They had a main singer, 6 person choir, a synth player, keyboard player, 2 violins, 2 guitars, 1 bass, a cello player, flute and melodica player, trumper player, trombone player, flugelhorn player, a drummer, a percussionist, and some other misc. ****.

their show is good until you notice the music sucks and they are just a gimmick.

yeah. i'd agree with that

I'm hoping to expand my knowledge of metal, but haven't had much luck finding distinctive bands that really stick with me. So, give me some recommendations for someone who likes these four records:
Pig Destroyer - [i]Phantom Limb[/i]
Mastodon - [i]Blood Mountain[/i]
Neurosis - [i]Given to the Rising[/i]
Boris - [i]Akuma No Uta[/i]

They don't necessarily have to sound like these four, but are maybe of a similar fanbase. Also - try to steer clear from the post-metal/shoegazey sound, I want my metal to have some balls.

try Converge if you haven't already

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Burmese - A Mere Shadow and Reminiscence
Gory Blister - Art Bleeds
Zebulon Pike - The Deafening Twilight
Turambar - Dhatura
Spirit Caravan - Elusive Truth
The Funeral Orchestra - Feeding the Abyss

Cryptopsy - [I]None So Vile[/I]

I'm not too big on metal either but I love this album.

Yea, that album rules.

Excellent guys, thanks. I'll be sure to look into some of the stuff I'm unfamiliar with.

No problem, let me know what you think. If that's not what you are looking for, I'll suggest some different things.

k I'm really bad at keeping up with everyone's tours.

who's coming to Texas in the near future?

Great question, I'll get right on that.

no srsly

i hope the mail from Zacn is coming soon...

I think Carbiou is coming to Austin sometime in August. I haven't really checked anything in a while.

I live near Beaumont. Some bands come here, but otherwise all I've got is Houston.
