first of all, sorry i've been so lazy, just haven't been feeling up to sorting through music and what not lately but now i do. so these guys where good enough to send me an email so i'll post their spaced out russian jams for you guys to enjoy. some of the riffage is a little different but its definitely some great tunage for sure. check out the links below and as always try to support all the bands that i post here. stay tuned for more, i have material from other bands that i need to post, sorry for taking so long guys, it is all appreciated!

check them out on facespace

bandcamp

dig it

also, you can probably see i added the sopa badge to this site, its not that i believe muscians shouldn't make money off their work, but that whole thing is a witch hunt and i'd stick it to anyone who's in a position of power like that trying to smash a dumb ass bill like that thru and states on camera that they dont know what the bill is about and that they need to get some nerds in their to explain it, well they can go to hell twice. by nerds do you mean people that are obviously smarter than you, this country is in such a bad way, holy tap dancing christ!

New Years Clutch Show Review and Ancillaries

it may be kinda hard to read that but here's the set list the clutch played on new years, btw it was an amazing show!

oh also there where a bunch of encore songs, and they where......

Cypress Grove
Big News I
Soapmakers
Burning Beard

the show poster pretty diesel!

and some assorted pictures and videos from people i know who where there and also people that where near where we were standing. the awesome picture of clutch on stage taken from the balcony was from a buddy of mine which i grabbed it off his facespace because my phone is fucked and i didn't take a camera. and the video below is taken from the sound booth that was like 15 feet behind us, which at the troc that's a lot of distance, pretty small place honestly.

the mob going wild, or, Clutch-The Mob Goes Wild, Live, 12-31-11, the troc, philly.

oh a note about this, ^, link, go to it and watch the video and there are a ton of other videos from that new years eve show. it was an awesome set by clutch for sure!

oh also apparently this chick i almost got into a rumble with was really bothering someone else according to my buddy there was a post on clutch's message board about how some 'crack head' chick was bothering people trying to be a tough guy. and then she got her hefty ass tossed from that bitch, good job!

so as far as a review goes i think its pretty obvious that clutch was one of the most amazing bands i've ever seen live. they where on top of their game and just a blast. as far as the other bands go, earthride was fun to see, my buddy said they looked and sounded like they've been on the couch for the past 20 years or so but i think they where pretty fun still to see live. kyng was good, they're kinda like clutch lite, or they try to be, but they where enjoyable to watch as well, both the singer/guitarist and the bassist where fun to watch and their drummer especially was one heavy handed bastard with some strange but very interesting technique. and finally we come to COC,w/o pepper, uh yea, i'm sure they're nice guys and all but i was about done with them about a dozen songs into their set. they where like a movie that had a million endings and never stopped, ugh. but clutch made up for it, the place almost tore itself apart but clutch made up for it most definitely!

there rewster, ya happy, ya browbeat me into it and now its done, lol.

Grifter - The Simplicity of the Riff is Key

so this isn't brand new or anything, its in fact from 2010, but as soon as i started listening to it i was really diggin it! plus i had to post somethin for my greek buddy cris' birthday, so here ya go man, happy birthday. hope your birthday rocks as much as this album does! check out cris' band dope flood, especially if you live around larissa greece (lucky bastards).

Diablo Strange EP

so i've been extremely busy and lazy at the same time lately. sorry for not bringing the awesome. i'll try, well not harder, but i'll try. but anyway, dig on some of this fun stoner/blues rock. you can pick up the 2 track ep from these guys at their band camp which i've provided below. they're pretty diesel to my ears because they'd be one of those bands you'd go see and have a ton of fun and probably smell like beer, sweat and probably piss a little too. so all in all it'd be a fun time. check em' out.

bandcamp site, dig it

clutch new years show update!

so another little gem from my buddy the rewster. i was lookin for the flyer for this show that we're goin to on new years and he got it to me before i could find it. besides finding this great poster their has been an update in the personel for this show. it seems that the mighty earthride has been added to get the doom levels up a bit. so its now kyng, COC, Earthride and CLUTCH! i cannot wait for this show! its going to be so diesel! look for lots of photos and videos of this one. hopefully we wont get too mangled and we'll make it home in one piece. stay tuned for updates boys and girls.

Plastic Villains - Whoever You Are Today

so my buddy mr rewster sent me the bandcamp link for these guys and i was pretty impressed. when he said they where 'bluesy psych' and i'd have to agree with that. definitely some great chill 'blues/stoner rock' if you dig the black keys' earlier stuff you'll like these guys. i enjoyed listening to this album for sure!

grab your shovels and dig it!

Madam Trashy - Book of Dead

so i ran across these guys on another blog, the sludgelord, and i was really pleased with what i heard when i visited their bandcamp page. the genre that they've been described as following is prog/grunge/stoner. which they do incorporate some items from each of these genres but don't be fooled, they're 'stoner' to the core. and what a nice hard-core it is. ha and ha. anyway, check these guys out at the link below. its to their bandcamp page and you can download this fine album for free or throw them a few bucks if you've got some scratch to throw these brooklyn ny rockers. you wont be disappointed either way, i promise.

bandcamp page, dig it!!!!

Stoner Train

here's a fun stoner band from russia. they have two albums available on bandcamp for download. its pretty crazy how 'southern rock' has spread to every latitude in the world. hey whatever works. but yea these guys are pretty cool. and interesting. not the same old same old.

workin stiff

hey i just wanted to update you guys real fast, i got my job back at the design factory(3d mechanical design part of a mechanical contractor i was workin for) but this doesn't mean we can't be friends still. my time will just be like our wedlock child that we split up like a possession after we split up. i'll get the week days because i'm more responsible than you guys and you can have me on the weekends and maybe some nights. the courts said to be civil so i wont tell you how much i hate you guys and how much my new life thinks you're an idiot and we talk about how much of a good guy you are all the time but how you're an irresponsible drug addict and we shouldn't trust you and that's why we split up in the first place. lol, oh where was i, oh, but i do have presents that i'll give you guys like a child in a broken home gets to win your love, actually got some loaded up now just need to post them. alright, i actually really appreciate all the traffic and support you guys throw my way. hit up my email if you've got anything for me. thanks in advance!

later!

mr mcmayhem, and his time which has become both our redheaded step child.

The Christpunchers - Psalms for a New Dark Age

so i ran across these guys on stonerobixxx and after listening to their latest release, pslams for a new dark age, i was pretty impressed. this stuff is a little more spacey than the usual stuff i post but its pretty heavy and awesome. no vox per say other than some sound fx. but definitely some great tunage to hot box something to :) i'll include several links below including their site, their bandcamp as well as a mediafire link so you can snag this 2011 release from these guys. hope you all enjoy!
