g0g hates us all

Fighting boredom and a fever (not the Bieber kind) I finally got to see Mike Bjella's (Black Hell, Wellington, Unruh) semi-solo project gOg. Most noise/drone/etc usually is tiresome to me but he keeps it interesting and luckily short. In the video below all you see is the lights from the various pedals but its almost the entire set. I'd definitely be inclined to see him again. The show took play 10/22/10 @ Am West in Phoenix,AZ.

the Mad Hatter's Curtain Call

It's taken me a really long time to post anything new, and though I've been to tons of shows, the thought of pulling out the video camera just became a little tiresome after awhile. Which is a shame because of how many great bands I have seen this past year. Hopefully I will get back into gear and put more stuff up, but for now I am posting some video of the final Black Hell show.

This was a bittersweet evening. Excited to see this show, but bummed to lose another great Arizona band. Over the past few years I have spent my nights in dive bars, warehouses, art spaces, etc watching a band that I truly believe was at the top of their genre. They just never had the attention they deserved. So below is the final performance 4/28/10 @ the Nile Basement aka the Underground in Mesa,AZ. Enjoy as I always did.
