Just announced on Fasterlouder is the following cool show on the 3rd of March at The Palais in Melbourne: Primus fans the world over were thrown into fits of sporadic air-bass when the influential US rockers announced in April that after a five year hiatus they were back in business. It seemed only logical that the band would eventually be nabbed by one of our summer festivals, and Soundwave ended… Read More »Primus & The Melvins Melbourne show
Bonnaroo took place over the weekend, and favorites of Fourtheye The Mevlins and Isis both performed. Luckily for those that couldn’t make it their sets are available for streaming! Enjoy: The Melvins Isis
I’ve been looking forward to Soundwave 2010 for quite a while now. Not only were one of my favorite bands Faith No More reuniting, but it also featured several other favorites of mine, including Tool touring buddies Meshuggah and Isis.

Not really much point reading the rest of the article unless you’re a die hard.
Last night I got to go to my first gig since the Big Day Out, and that was to see Helmet play at one of our local clubs Fowlers Live. Even though Helmet are now a very different lineup from when I saw them last in 1997 (Singer/Guitarist Page Hamilton is the only original member left in the band), I was excited about seeing them, especially when I heard they’d… Read More »Helmet @ Folwers Live 4th May 2008
According to this article at the Chicago Tribune, Maynard (as well as Perry Farrell and The Coup’s Boots and Ike Riley) will be joining the Nightwatchmen (Tom Morello’s solo acoustic show) at the gig this Thursday at Park West. Apparently it’s mentioned on The Nightwatchmen Myspace site, but I couldn’t see it. Entry costs $10 and it all ages.
