Deez: Roadburn 2023 | Sputnikmusic

Deez 04.16.23	Where Wolfe at?
Dewinged 04.16.23	Fuck, another year I'll live it vicariously through you Deez, have fun, you legend. I also got the feeling the festival is getting kind of weird? I don't know, can't wait to read your post-show thoughts!
Deez 04.16.23	Thanks Homes!! Yeah, I mean theres barely anything that it was kinda built on like kinda psych stoner/doomy bands for the old heads. I get it you cant have that shit on every year for decades and they want to constantly creatively expand but theyve always had a good eclectic kinda dark fringe line up anyway. Ever since they started using this 'redefining heavy' banner it seems to have given them the idea that ANYTHING goes honestly, theres some absolute turd on this year and loads who usually go arent this year. 'Doesnt have to have distortion to be heavy bro' IM WELL AWARE but just because something might be emotionally heavy to you doesnt mean it should be on RDB either. Although it is much harder to put Fests on now post covid, with pull outs and fees etc some ill give them some leeway. (Off the grapevine Botch were offeres 65 grand and said no!)
Deez 04.17.23	I did say this last year though tbh and had probably my best year there but whether that was cos wed all been locked up for 2 years I dunno. I spoke to Tyler from thou at a show on the Thou tour and he said the same. Line up wasnt great but the times where the best.
Dewinged 04.17.23	Post-covid liberation feels for sure. I was very confused to see Algiers on the line-up there one year, can't remember when, but yeah I prefer the old school RB of death/doom/bm/stoner and then some weird folk, electronic, or dark jazz to put the cherry on top. I love Chat Pile, but that's the last band I'd expect to see playing Roadburn. Anyway, another band that's a strange fit for RB but that I'm digging recently is healthyliving, if you have time go check it out. It's the side project of Ashenspire's guitar player and the girl from Maud the Moth. Loving their record these days.
bigguytoo9 04.17.23	I saw Chat Pile open for Lingua Ignota in Vancouver and it was fucking INSANE. Also Ad Nauseum would be a beast of a live set, holy shit.
Deez 04.17.23	Ah sick man yeah all the live stuff Ive seen they look awesome I watched a St Vitus one a few days ago. Another on the main stage with that dope soundsystem I think itll be great, daughters (cough) on their a few years back was one of my fave sets ever. @dewi. Theres just some stuff on their that doesnt belong there , Its not gatekeeping its just theyre trying to hard. Think its to do with Walter having slightly less to do with the bookings and Becky more so. Im planning on catching Maud the moth but havent checked Healthy Living that I remember so Ill have a listen , nice one
PotsyTater 04.17.23	Fuckin metal
Deez 04.17.23	Its gonna be a 95% metal weekend which im fine with but over the years there has been like a Synthwave/Folk or some acoustic shit to break it up. There is quite a bit of mellower stuff on but nothing im really interested in. Maybe go see Giles Corey if i need something different. That Nicole Dollanganger who you loved so much in your recent list is playing and I swear if she wore tracksuits instead of goth makeup shed be nowhere near it.
Deez 04.17.23	Ohhhhh I see what you did ..
Deez 04.25.23	Another phenomenal weekend at THE best festival.Elizabeth colour wheel rule the world 20- 6.5/10 was ok 19- 10/10 The best collab ive seen at RDB if they release this shit its AOTY instantly 18- 6.5/10 disappointingly Generic 7.5 Crouchs set was supers with an added Kickback cover 17- 6/10. Yeah just released I dont really likeBurst anymore but they were super happy being back together again 16- 7/10 Was great but never really went anywhere, more trancey tribal set 15- 8/10 Some well needed massive walls of sludge. 14- 10/10 Went for something different came away full of smiles and dancing. Jonas from cult of luna stood next to me holding his head in his hands blown away. Good vibes all round 13- 8/10 Bit of a mess of a sound but they killed it with added mini skirt Tartan kilt 12- 10/10 Biggest worry was the Roadburn crown woudnt be feeling high vis and get off to find something heavier but DAMN, room went nuts sang every word and an absolute highlight. Im converted fully now. After a sold out tour of teh states to see a room for of heavy music fans on board too, well...theyre on the rise big time. 11- Missed for ECW :( 10- Missed , couldnt be bothered queueing 9- 7.5/10 As expecting, Frantic non stop , In your face Warmetal 8- 8/10 Superb. Sounded huge 7- 7/10. sound was all over the place as can be with them plus added tiredness and last day vibes from my old body 6- Both sets 8/10 covers included Codience/Inot another/Bad brains and some old CI stuff they dont usually play 5- 8/10 Caught half the secret set and awesome but left early for ECW, Main stage set was brilliant and theyre clearly being taking in by many 4- 8/10. also first fight ive ever seen in the crowd at the Fest. 3- 9/10 Absolutely mad as expected, projections, walks into the crow semi naked, with some mad outfits on, loops and a Keytar. Im in love 2- 10/10 Phenomenal. Waiting so long and lived up to everything 1- 10/10 Same. Worried about the slot but the sound was great from where i was and the level of musician ship was out of this world. Now i got the fking blues and back to work :(
