J3FF3R00 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Everyone keep their ears open for any additional shows, especially in the LA area. If you haven't seen these guys live yet, now is your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EleminoP Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yeah, definitely see them if you can. They played in the basement of a church near me last summer, I think, and it was fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've seen them 3 or 4 times. Always worth it. They play a lot of unannounced warehouse shows and stuff. I think they are pretty hard to get wind of. I always hear from a friend who somehow knows, day of. If you guys hear of those, those are the ones to post. The best time I saw em was in an indoor parking garage. Fuckin class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Winston Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Saw them at Islington Mill in the UK, a dingy little cellar type place and was so glad I got the chance they are definitely worth experiencing once. Twisted my knee as well, still totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 One of the times I saw them, they ended up setting their gear up next to me in the audience, while the other band was still playing. As soon as the other band stopped, they started and the whole crowd surged toward us. I had to link arms wit someone I didn't know to create a human chain around the drums so that he wouldn't get knocked over. The usual show for them, right? At some point, Brian's floor tom fell, mid-song and I held it up as he hit it. That guy is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
