Recommended Show: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2010 AIDS WOLF, AN ALBATROSS, SIGHTINGS, & VAZ @ DEATH BY AUDIO 49 S 2nd St Brooklyn, NY 11211 $10, 8PM Is it any surprise that we are suggesting AIDS Wolf again tonight? Hopefully not. An Albatross join the Montreal band again on the bill tonight, but with Sightings and Vaz also scheduled to play, this line up might even be better than last night's. Ween @ Central Park Warm [...]
Recommended Show: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2010 AIDS WOLF, AN ALBATROSS, & CHILD ABUSE @ CAKE SHOP 152 Ludlow St New York, NY 10002 $8, 8PM Normally, AIDS Wolf alone would be enough to recommend a show, no matter who was on the rest of the bill. However, with tonight's show at Cake Shop, even the early bands are worth making it out in time to see. Child Abuse performs first; probably a little after 8PM doors. Cake @ Central Park [...]
Hardcore is, by nature, an angry genre (<33 Giri). However, I don't want that to be the first impression people get of it on the blog. So, here are some fun hardcore bands. Knucklepuck Ex-District Five // EP We Are The Ducks // EP Mighty Ducks-themed hardcore. There are two [...]
We've never been to Columbia, SC. All we know about it (thanks to Wikipedia) is that it's nicknamed "The Capital of Southern Hospitality" and that US News & World Report named it one of 2009's best affordable places to retire. But add another accolade to that list in the form of experimental punk jam band Thank God . The outfit (which happens to be made up of old Antischism and Guyana Punch Line members) proves that not all things from the South have to be quaint and bluesy with the title track "Ice/Age". [...]
Combatwoundedveteran - self-titled 7-inch [Download this, and if you like it, BUY SOMETHING (though I believe this is way OOP).] Was the Duck Down for the Torso 10-inch (limited edition of 400 vinyl copies) a departure for Combatwoundedveteran, one without the fast-forward punk chugs and snappy-short song format? Yes, for a fashion. That's sad because alongside Gumshoe "Titans" like The [...]
![The essay that won me a South By Southwest badge [Curiosities #37]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2325598_lg.jpg)
This essay has nothing to do with Steve Perry, '80s sleeve-logo shirts or Journey, but what the hell I say ... [ Check out Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's set at SXSW 2004 above!!! ] OK, so it's obvious: I'm all out of sorts today, as I have several grad-school papers due and fatherly duties I just can't shirk. I was GOING to re-print a review I wrote of Woelv 's Tout Seul Dans La Foret En Plein Jour, Avez-Vour Peur? and append pictures [...]

Date 11/8/09 Location Mohawk Doors 900pm Tickets $13 from FrontGate I think most of us will be about done from our Fun Fest weekend on Sunday, but if you're still raring to go, head to Mohawk for a headlining after show by locals Trail of Dead . Joining the guys on the outside [...]
It had for centuries been a wholly closed society. Extravagantly depraved and despairing, rejecting morality, politics, patriotism and even social intercourse with the outside world. The Thieve's World...Vorovskoy Mir...this is the name given to the direct predecessor of the Russian mafia. Born in a time when all property was owned in theory, by the Tsar, felonies were not only crimes, they were attacks on the state. Organized crime in Tsarist Russian developed into a highly ritualized secret society. A society complete with it's own complicated customs and traditions, strict rules and codes of honor. Members [...]
Holy Mountain - "Wrath" b/w "The Sovereign State"/"Re-Construction" I've had a Holy Mountain CD sitting around for 3 years now. Never listened to it. Then for some reason I bought this 7-inch, on limited marble-grey vinyl. Come to find out this group contains former members of Combatwoundedveteran. For those uninitiated, Combatwoundedveteran RULED ALL KINDS OF ASS with spastic, all-out, minute-long post-power violence jams in the vein of The Locust , Fat Day , [...]
An Albatross's live show is highly energetic and chaotic. It's certainly a must-see. So it's good that the band have plotted some tour dates for the months of October and November. Two of the early dates are at Union Pool in Brooklyn on October 24 and Cake Shop in Manhattan on October 25. The rest of the tour follows. Check out the full list of dates after the jump. An Albatross tour dates: Dates marked * w/ Dark Meat Dates marked + w/ All Leather 10.02.09 - Montreal, QC - [...]
Accused of being a "black-caped, black-garbed, death-worshipping church" with ranks of mindless "hooded snuffoids," they believed they were visionaries warning of the coming apocalypse. In the wake of the shootings at Columbine and with cult activity on the increase, this could have been ripped from the mainstream headlines throughout 1999. But at the end of the hippie dream, these were the charges levelled at one of the most controversial cults of the Sixties: the Process Church. In 1963, two people met at the L Ron Hubbard Institute of Scientology on Fitzroy Street, London. They were both studying [...]
(kein beitrag zur indiestreber.de-elektrowoche, da diese schon vorbei ist. hätte aber gepasst.) obacht, die überschrift verspricht weniger, als sie hält. denn an dem vorgestrigen sonntagabend spielten gleich vier bands im schlachthof. angekündigt wurde das ganze als "Hard-Synth-Chaos-Nintendo-HiS peed- Core-Festival". das ist zwar zutreffend, klingt aber komplizierter als es ist. den anfang machten yip-yip, zwei bilderbuchnerds aus florida. komplett in op-art -mäßigem schwarz-weiß-muster gekleidet standen sie an ihren zwei synthesizer/krachmacher-türme n, und mit dabei war auch noch ein mini-saxophon. das schlangenbeschwörer-gefiepse dauerte zwar nur gut 20 minuten, aber das war auch [...]
CMJ is going on strong, so that means plenty of shows heading towards NYC or on their way back. Either way, more for us in the IA region. Like always, Thursday has plenty to see. Forget the British Invasion of the '60s. The 2000s are having a Swedish invasion. Tonight and tomorrow, you can catch three of the best singer-songwriters Sweden has to offer. Ane Brun and Tobias Froberg are joined by former native Theresa Andersson , now calling New [...]

As we mentioned to you a few weeks ago, An Albatross has opened the floodgates and started releasing details about their upcoming sophomore record, The An Albatross Family Album . The psych-metal pioneers' second official full-length - and first since 2006's Blessphemy Of The Peace-Beast Feastgiver And The Bear Warp Kumite - will see the light of day on October 21st via Eyeball Records . but aside from a rough-mixed version of their single "...And Now Emerges The Silver Pilgrim", which can be heard at the band's MySpace page, we have yet [...]
Summer is winding down, kids are going back to school and bands are finishing their summer tours or starting fall ones. This weekend is very front heavy with a lot of action on Friday then tapering down to a single show on Sunday. Most are one city shows so be sure to check out who is where. The 80's are making a huge comeback. So many artists and groups that thrived in the early MTV era are going out on reunion tours after years of not performing. [...]
