| JUNE 12TH: MASERATI, MY EDUCATION, S&S @ WALTER'S |
[11 Jun 2007|03:59am] |
hey so everyone on my friends list should come check out this show. it's the biggest opportunity i've ever gotten as far as booking shows. i've listened to maserati for years. they changed a little bit and added the drummer from !!! so things are alot more energetic and dancey. this show will be amazing!
MASERATI (temporary residence ltd)
much has changed in the four years since maserati's last release. in that time, the band's sound has evolved so significantly that only shades of the reverb and delay-drenched guitars resemble their previous output. the rhythm section has been overhauled, with gerhardt fuchs (!!!, turing machine, lcd soundsystem, the juan maclean) replacing phil horan on drums. the result is inventions for the new season, a bloodshot, 3AM soundtrack to a michael mann movie that hasn't happened yet; a sweaty, delirious mix of mid-to-late 70s pink floyd, german psych-rock, krautrock, and mid-80s action film scores. produced by longtime friend andy baker in his athens, ga home studio, inventions drags the glory years of psychedelic arena rock kicking and screaming into the 21st century, with the pomposity (and vocals) carefully removed. the mix is pushed firmly in the red, giving the songs a white-knuckled energy that - coupled with the ethereal guitar theatrics - puts one foot on the dance floor and the other on the ocean floor.
MY EDUCATION (thirty ghost records)
there must be something on the air, or in it, to explain the space rock blooming in central texas. this austin sextet expands on the arc-riff grandeur or local travelers explosions in the sky with john cale-like viola and simple, rising melodies that take you way up and out. my surprise find at SXSW this year, my education are advanced ecstasy." - rolling stone
SHARKS AND SAILORS
"...sharks and sailors are truly something else. they're loud, ferocious, and pummeling, all the while managing to keep things melodic and catchy. the band's probably the closest thing houston's ever come to matching the precise, controlled-chaos fury of all those math-rock bands that came out of Louisville back in the day, or heck, maybe the nearest we've got to unwound or mission of burma -- think thundering, gonna-kick-your-ass bass, complex, intertwining guitar lines, off-but-it-works melody, and plenty of sung-spoken vocals. put it all together, and sharks and sailors are an amazing thing to see/hear." - space city rock

if anyone on here is in houston and is bored tonight. you can go to this with whatever money you have in your pocket:
MONDAY MAY 28TH, 2007 - LORD BY FIRE / THE MAKAI / LORD / MAMMOTH GRINDER
LORD BY FIRE (we are the label)
"featuring members of my war, the goddamn wolves, and façade burned black. not as rocked out as their richmond, va citymates in alabama thunderpussy; not as oppressively dark as classic neurosis; cleaner, tighter, and more controlled than eyehategod - yet comparable elements to all three acts are involved, and the end result could (and should) very well appeal to all such listeners. slow to midpaced southern tinged rhythmic grooves? check. Hoarsely shouted/screamed vocals? you betcha. just the right balance of grimy rock underpinnings and aggressive, rumbling density? fuck yes! it's all here, and then some." - aversiononline.com
LORD
"man, in a perfect world a band as awesome as lord would be blasting through the speakers of every metalhead’s stereo system across the country. sadly, we don’t live in that world, but here’s to hoping! i have been completely swept away by these guys since getting a chance to see them over the past summer. since then i have been practically wearing out their first full-length built lord tough in the passing months. that disc was a fantastic slab of rollicking stoner/sludge that wasn’t afraid to wander deeply into the metal and punk genres as well. the band has a completely unique sound, killer song writing/musicianship and a deadly secret weapon in the form of their shape shifting vocalist andy, so it is only natural that this brand new ep of material is even leaner and meaner than their full-length. lord truly nail a unique sound here as the entire band are tight musicians and play off each other very well, crafting a diverse collection of 5 songs for their new ep." - hellridemusic.com
THE MAKAI (seventh rule)
mankind is an ignorant race, they foolishly believe that their kind rules the earth. know now that they are not alone! there are unseen worlds that exist parallel to theirs, these are the worlds of the jujinkai a race of half man half beast, and our world the makai a race of demons, hell bent on world domination and destruction! ignorant humans the truth will now be revealed!
MAMMOTH GRINDER

this thursday night!! april 13th!
doors at 8pm
show at 9pm
only 5 DOLLARS!!
at the white swan: 4419 navigation blvd. houston, tx 77011
tambersauro has cancelled. replacing them will be stare decisis.
here is the myspace pages of all the bands playing
this will destroy you. from san marcos, tx on magic bullet records.
caspian. from boston, ma on dopamine records.
listen listen. amazing folk music from the houston area. often referred to as doom country. they are a three-peice composed of a drummer who plays trumpet while drumming, a violinist, and a guitarist/singer. they make beautiful music.
stare decisis. intense intrumental music from the houston area.
lets all get up off our asses and do something other thank drinking coffee for one night(well, maybe afterwards). let's let all this music blow us the fuck away. i can't think of anything but how amazing the world is and how full of life it is when i listen to these bands. caspian is the sole reason i started booking shows. lets all hang out. THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY!!
p.s.- i don't think that this is interfering with any of the music senior recitals going on this night (which i am going to myself). the show starts at 9 so i don't think anything else will be going by then.
