double feature

I tried to make two shows on 6/17/09. Witch Hunt was playing a house show and Mario Mattteoli was playing a pub show. I caught 2 locals at the Witch Hunt show but unfortunatelyy missed them. I did catch all of Mario though, who played the Laurelthirst Pub.

MURDERESS

First time seeing this band, the bass player and vocalist had a lot of energy, I'd love to see them play in frnt of a drunker or more energetic crowd

ABANDON

Abandon used to be Helghast

MARIO MATTEOLI

I had been listening to his albums all week, excited for the show. As always he sounded great.

Unholy Grave day 2- Seattle

Unholy Grave is too good to only see once. So Mike and I hit the road to Seattle to see them play at the Vera Project on 6/14/09. The venue seems pretty rad, but I dont live there so I dont know well enough about it. We missed the supporting bands since we had to eat and it was at 170 mile drive.

MAGRUDERGRIND

Glad that I have seen them 3 times this year,, too bad they didnt bring the circle pit cones

UNHOLY GRAVE

still one of the best bands ever

Unholy Grave day 1-- Portland

It had been 2 years since Unholy Grave left Japan and came to Portland with Insect Warfare. This time they came rolling through with DC's Magrudergrind. On 6/13/09 at the Satyricon, these bands absolutely killed. Phobia had to cancel the tour, and I got their late and missed Transient and most of Superbad's sets.

MAGRUDERGRIND

This was the 5th time I have seen these guys over the last 5 years. Everytime they have gotten better and have defined their sound even more.

UNHOLY GRAVE

To me, this is one of the greatest bands ever

IRON LAMB

AI and War Cry

If you could wade through the sea of charged hair and punk stereotypes, you would eventually find yourself at a pretty entertaining show. On 6/6/09 at Satyricon in Portland,OR AI and War Cry played enthusiastic sets to a dull crowd..

AI

AI's vocalist is intense to watch live. I would definitely see them again..

WAR CRY

I only caught their last few songs, which sucks because I was really stoked watching them.

Desolation

I was only at this show long enough to catch a couple songs by Ripper and Desolation's set. This show took place 6/5/09 at East End in Portland,OR. Desolation ruled, too bad the video is dark.

DESOLATION
