SLOUGH FEG

"How many of you kids like grindcore??"

The Lord Weird Slough Feg. I completely forgot this show was happening until I was reminded late afternoon. It's funny because I just listened to their new album The Animal Spirits (Profound Lore) this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it, and was really excited about seeing them live again. A few hours later I was headbanging right next to Mike Scalzi, who remarked that he would like to cannibalize me.

Slough Feg rocked so hard and played a few cuts from their new album, a couple older songs and closed with my absolute favorite SF song 'Tiger! Tiger!'

Thrones

The legendary Joe Preston played as Thrones at Sugar Mounatin in Oakland Thursday night. Preston played bass and did vocals to preprogramed loops. He also played synth and did some vocoder vocals.

Christian Mistress

Christian Mistress are from Washington and have a new album out on 20 Buck Spin called Agony & Opium. I recognized the guitarist with straight hair from the first time I saw Wolves In The Throne Room when he was filling in as bassist for them.

Beercraft

Beer-themed metal featuring Christy Cather from Ludicra on guitar and vocals.
