grapes, wieners, and blood

Some of the best shows in Portland happen at houses, and my last house show as a resident here was a blast. AZ's Landmine Marathon came into town and destroyed. The show took place at the Grindzeebo 8/13/09 in Portland,OR.

LANDMINE MARATHON

Crowd went nuts for Landmine this time, great to see them finally get a rad show in Portland

Landmine Marathon and Book of Black Earth will be hitting the road together on a west coast tour. Make sure to go see them in a city near you. Tour starts tomorrow so dont miss out. Buy merch, headbang, circle pit, and give hi5's.

Landmine/Funeral Pyre split release!!!

For the 2nd time in a week Landmine Marathon played a super hot art space in Tempe. This time was their release party for the split 7inch with the Funeral Pyre who were kicking off their 5 week tour. The bill was a mixed bag with uber tech death Vireamia, hardcore band Ready Resist, and a newer young metal band called Intestinator. The show took place at Modified Arts in Phoenix,AZ 7/22/09

READY RESIST

1st time seeing this band. Great set, think they have some good potential.

VIREAMIA

I'm not a fan of tech at all, but these guys were super tight, and I know a lot of people would be way stoked off of them

FUNERAL PYRE

the guitar player and I argued over who loves xButlerx more. I totally won

LANDMINE MARATHON

Landmine played some new songs that absolutely killed

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 Curious Case of Ryan Butler

I decided to follow LM ton their next show in Medford,OR. Medford is a small-ish city about 30 miles north of the California border. It is a perfect hub between shows in the Bay Area and Portland. Hopefully they will grow and become the place for shows in between the big cities because the people were nice, as well as kooky, but mostly nice.

Also Landmine Marathon played and sounded killer. The video is super dark but the sound is better than the last. They also have a new full length that slays out from Level Plane records and a Relapse exclusive t-shirt.
