obey your Master (in HD)

This show kind of slipped through the cracks and was something we went to on kind of short notice. The show was at this bar in Mesa called UB's thats been doin a lot of metal shows to small crowds. On 7/21/09 Master and Goreaphobia played in Arizona.

GOREAPHOBIA

the mask, wow. Old school death metal

MASTER

nobody was there for this show, its a shame, Master was awesome

Trap Butler

Gotta love summer shows in Phoenix at art spaces with no AC. 4 million other shows going on this night but I know I chose wisely seeing Landmine Marathon with Trap Them and other at the Phix in Phoenix,AZ 7/18/09

LANDMINE MARATHON

sound was a little off, but they debuted some new songs that sounded killer

TRAP THEM

second time in a week, 5th time in a year. way stoked off of this band right now

the monsters hold court at Green

Royal Monsters are a band I am about to become very familiar with. Featuring ex members of George Moshington, Where Eagles Dare and current members of Red Queen and Netzeah. On 7/17/09 at Green Restaurant in Tempe, they had their tour kickoff and EP release show.

ROYAL MONSTERS

these guys have great songs and great energy, stoked to tour with them!!

Trap Them

Trap Them tours all the time, but I always miss them. Finally got some footage of a band that gave a lot of energy to a not so interested crowd. I didnt stick around for the other bands (sick i swear). Trap Them played 7/10/09 at Satyricon in Portland,OR.

TRAP THEM

Crime against the Machine

Finally got a chance to check out Crime Machine! They played Ash St Saloon in Portland,OR 7/9/09.

EXCRUCIATOR

Excruciator obviously are fans of early Metallica

HEATHEN SHRINE

These guys were pretty brutal.

CRIME MACHINE

2 guitars, 2 bass'. Grindcore with plenty of commentary

a night filled with Troubadors

This is the best lineup of artists I have seen this year besides MDF. Four individuals with haunting vocals and vivid storytelling ability took the stage of the Rhythm Room 7/6/09 in Phoenix,AZ.

TOM VANDENAVOND

This was the 4th or 5th time I have seen this guy play, and could probably watch him a couple times a week and not get tired of it.

WILLY TEA

I havent been captivated by a solo performance like this in years. Willy Tea had my full attention from start to finish and I will never miss a chance to see him play.

MARIO MATTEOLI

what more can I say about this guy. love his music

SODA & his HASHKNIFE OUTFIT

the only way i could ever describe Soda's style would be gypsy hillbilly, not that it matters when its this good
