it list : sunday
  
Not much going on today. Big surprise.

1. Laptop Deathmatch (Double Wide)

You know the setup of this electronic competition. The best aspect of it is that it's different everytime.

2. Wild in the Streets (Hailey's) (Free!)

Wild in the Streets is like the Pebbles box set blasting through the club's PA with a healthy dose of French Ye-Ye stuff to top it off. Which is much better than what usually blasts out of club speakers .

3. The Sword | Those Peabodys | Hogpig (Rubber Gloves)

I personally can only take metal or hard rock without a trace of indie kid irony. But if it doesn't bother you, then by all means attend this show.

Yeah Scott Biram is rad. He made it all the way from a head-on with an 18-wheeler to getting signed to Bloodshot.

Deathmatch was a great time, as always. My favorite night of the month... even when I'm eliminated in round 1.

The Okratron guys (SirRawly, Matthewmatics, Chainsaw) brought the sexy hawt jams while Cygnus, WildBull, Bexametrix (winner) destroyed our wills with distortion and high BPM assaults. Some others brought great variety from pretty ambient to electronic-backed vocal performances.

Well since it wasn't mentioned, last night Scott Birham really kicked ass as a one man blues rock guy. It was very interesting to watch him make the beat with his foot tapping on a 2x4 tapped into a sub woofer he played for almost 3 hours. Just FYI

Is tbat guy calling nintendo "pansy-ass"?
Plus, if his balls WERE blown off while seeing The Sword, that would make him ball-less AND retarded.

1:44 am-

you did not attend a metal show. you saw a show with a piece of shit major label in-joke band that plays riffs that even Superunknown-era Soundgarden wouldn't be caught dead playing. If you're into "grunge" tinged comedy then I guess it's cool.

i saw the sword tonight and they blew my balls off. fantastic!! if they toured with danava my face would explode.

if you find yourself bored at a metal show, you need to stick with your pansy-ass nintendo beep-boop music and get the fuck outta my way, you turd.

The Sword is not ironic. If you actually listened to them, you'd know that. Fact. Plus? Hogpig is on the bill. Way to drop the ball, WSJR. I still love you.
