Aristocrats in SF tonight!!!

I'd never heard of these guys before, and the first search result was "The Kentucky Meat Shower." What's not to like?

Instrumental rock, jazz fusion. Not really my cup of tea, but I always like checking out new music. Thanks for that!

[Kittaan]

That tune is from the new album, which they played straight through last night. That was by far the best track IMO. Guthrie Govan is one of the most interesting and technically proficient guitarists on the planet.

Great (if disturbing) back story too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_meat_shower

Identifying the meat
The meat appeared to be beef, but two locals who tasted it stated that it tasted like mutton, venison, or lamb. B.F. Ellington, a local hunter, examined the meat and declared that it was bear meat.

Initially, the "meat" was identified by a Mr. Leopold Brandeis writing in the Sanitarian as Nostoc, which he described as a type of vegetable matter. When Brandeis passed the meat sample to the Newark Scientific Association for further analysis, this led to a letter from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton appearing in the publication Medical Record stating that the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant ("the structure of the organ in these two cases being very similar.") The makeup of this sample was backed up by further analysis, with two samples of the meat being identified as lung tissue, three samples were of muscle tissue, and two of cartilage.

Hypotheses
Out of the many theories for an explanation of this phenomenon, one suggested by locals is that the meat was disgorged by buzzards "who, as is their custom, seeing one of their companions disgorge himself, immediately followed suit". It has also been speculated that the phenomenon could have been a type of cyanobacteria, nostoc, that is known to swell up into a translucent jelly-like mass whenever it rains.

Took place back in 1876. I think we're overdue for another meat shower.

LIFE IS NOISE PRESENTS:
EARTHLESS (USA) & ELDER (USA)

AUSTRALIAN TOUR
OCTOBER 2015

LIFE IS NOISE is proud to announce the heavy-psych double-bill of the year, as Elder and Earthless tour Australia this October.

EARTHLESS
Earthless want you to know how it feels to touch the sky. With smoldering guitar riffs that stretch from here to infinity, the San Diego trio are at once cosmic and timeless, rooted in a profound respect for the Zeppelin/Sabbathian tradition yet with eyes firmly cast forward. Never mind the retro rock revivalists or the '70s throwbacks – Earthless aren’t nostalgists; they’re sonic luminaries dragging psychadelia by the wah pedal into the 21st century and beyond.

Earthless got it right from conception – ride the riff until it becomes a black hole. – Austin Chronicle

Isaiah Mitchell is the kind of guitar prodigy that comes along only once in a generation. Underpinned by the military precision of Mario Rubalcaba’s drumming and Mike Eginton’s fundamental grooves, Mitchell’s chaotic fretwork is as unpredictable as it is ambitious.

Earthless don't leave room for misinterpretation or error concerning their mission: They are a long-winded guitar trio, hell-bent on riding six electric strings directly out of this atmosphere. – Pitchfork

Earthless’ live show is a trip: you don’t know where you’re going, but you’re damn sure you better stay along for the ride.

Isaiah Mitchell’s guitar playing is a constant surprise, soaring, diving, streaking through the sky like a hawk playing in the updrafts along the face of a cliff. – Pop Matters


ELDER
Elder are a sleeper cell of colossal talent. Never has three-piece so seamlessly merged the atmosphere of doom with the depth of stoner rock and the vitality of psychedelic rock. Their latest album, Lore, is a quiet masterpiece – a blizzard of riffs that shine with melody, dynamism and songwriting sophistication well beyond the young band’s years.

Elder have only just begun writing their own lore as a band, but with Lore, they have created an album that is, in a word, timeless. – Heavy Blog is Heavy

Few bands have the gall to cover Jimi Hendrix, and even fewer can do it well, but Elder did just that in June when they released a rip-roaring cover of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) for the Hendrix tribute Electric Ladyland Redux. Nick DeSalvo’s guitar sounds on the brink of bursting into flames as he blazes through solo after solo.

Like Sleep or Earthless — two bands who provide similar thrills using similar tools — Elder are a trio, and each member is a fucking giant. – Stereogum

Elder’s sonic mastery extends beyond the studio – the trio’s live documents and show-stealing sets at Roadburn and Psycho California are a testament to Elder’s limitless potential.

Elder and Earthless have never shared a stage before. There’s no telling what havoc these two riff lords will wreak. Don’t miss the psych trip of the year. Witness these two blow minds on the following dates:

Perth – The Rosemount Hotel – October 22
Melbourne –The Corner – October 23
Sydney – Newtown Social – October 24
Brisbane – Crowbar – October 26

If you have the chance, go see this tour, Mastodon and Clutch were both excellent.

BTW, Alice was really outstanding too. They played over 2 hours straight, all killer, no filler. Very very tight and energetic set. Loved it. The only (minor) complaint is that when they left the stage, that was it. No encore, and they didn't even do the thing where they say "We don't do encores, so here's a few more". They played such a great show that I was only bummed for a minute or two.

Cancer Bats touring Down Under in September. I haven't been super impressed with their last couple of albums, but they've been good everytime I've seen them live, and I'm quite keen to see High Tension live, so may check them out:

THURSDAY 24 SEPTEMBER – BENDIGO HOTEL, MELBOURNE – 18+
FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER – BARWON CLUB, GEELONG – 18+
SATURDAY 26 SEPTEMBER – PITTED, BATEMANS BAY – 18+
MONDAY 28 SEPTEMBER – THE BALD FACED STAG, SYDNEY – 18+

WEDNESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER – SMALL ROOM, NEWCASTLE – 18+
THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER – THE BRIGHTSIDE, BRISBANE – 18+
FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER – SHARK BAR, GOLD COAST – 18+

[N.Y.H.C.]

this might be (at least for me and my friends) one of the greatest concert lineups of all time...



The entire Wu-Tang Clan along with Mobb Deep and Body Count on day one, day two is Madball, Crown Of Thornz, Dog Eat Dog, Indecision and Murphy's Law. even Uncle Matt has to nod his head slowly in appreciation. NYHC and NY Hardcore rap on one stage. god damn.

[hellboy]

Looks ok, but to be honest seems to have avoided most of the really good NY punk bands. Body Count and Walls of Jericho are good though.

Madball is definitely a really good band and Indecision from Brooklyn are fuckin brutal.
