Wed Nov 2, 2011
Since the fine folks behind the wildly popular blog, MetalSucks.net are known heshers, it should come as no surprise that their inaugural full-scale music festival, The Metal Suckfest, features several bands that support marijuana reform - and the art of partying.

Let's just call them the dirty dozen... the first 12 bands I saw at this year's South by Southwest, that is. The first day, as always, was a study in controlled chaos, with badge acquisitions, cell phone service checks (Hey Verizon, if the incredible iPhone service keeps up, I might name a child after you) and meet-ups to check in to.
And then there's the inevitable Brooklyn Vegan showcase to see. Naturally, I gravitated towards the dark indoor stage where a string of ear-maligning metal bands — and Dax Riggs — performed.
The first band I saw this year were Italy's The Secret, who pummeled the crowd with their tight metalcore set. All the band members were pretty intense, but I loved that you could hear the guitarist's admiration for the first two Machine Head records in his sound. Check them out when they hit NY (or a town near …READ MORE

Though showcases for this year's CMJ are still being announced, there's only one event we've got a laser focus on: TRUE TILL DEF, a free concert thrown by Converse, Tee Pee Records and Chronic Youth on October 20 at NYC's Mercury Lounge that celebrates the return of one of biggest hardcore acts of the '90s, Strife.
What makes the reunion of these former straight-edge advocates that much more subversive is who they're playing with: stoner instrumentalists Earthless, Priestess, Doobie Award nominees Iron Age, plus Naam and Disembodied.
And since there's no badge required, anyone is welcome to rsvp for a chance to get in. Just don't "X" up before you go... someone might blow smoke in your face.

My 10 Favorite ATP New York Memories
Tue Sep 7, 2010
While I begin to wrap my brain around my first ATP New York experience enough to write about it in-depth, here's a quickie about the memories that stand out the most.
1. The ubiquity of Jim Jarmusch. He was everywhere: on line checking in, at the food court, chilling by the lake with his family.
2. Helen Money playing an electric cello—replete with effects pedals—in the hall lounge. The perfect …READ MORE

Weedeater Frontman Shoots Off Big Toe
Thu Jan 14, 2010
Sure, it's only the second week of January. But when this press release dropped into my Inbox, I knew this decade was well on its way to starting off on a fantastic note. Read on, and props to the fine folks at Earsplit PR.
WEEDEATER: Dixie Dave Shoots Off Big Toe; Recording On Hold
In a message from North Carolina sludge metallers WEEDEATER:"As most of you know, here in the WEEDEATER camp we pride ourselves on a long tradition of shooting our band in the proverbial foot right before we're supposed to do something important. Whether it's a big tour, a recording session, or whatever else we're supposed to do, invariably we will find some way to try and thwart our grandiose plans.
Well, it's no different for this recording session, except that this time we really did shoot ourselves in the foot. In fact we regret to inform all of you …READ MORE

Shut Up And Listen To... Karma To Burn
Mon Dec 7, 2009
Back in the day when instrumental-only bands were as rare as Republicans with a sense of humor, Morgantown, WV's Karma to Burn were tearing up stages and blowing through towns like a gang of rock n roll outlaws. And like all good (or bad) volatile creations, the band eventually went out in a blaze of glory, becoming the stuff of legend.
Then earlier this year, the trio made peace and decided to give it another go—headlining festivals all across Europe (where they're HUGE) mere months after the reunion. So in honor of their recent signing with Napalm Records and brand-new DVD, I implore you to shut up and listen to Karma to Burn.

Municipal Waste Get Massively Aggressive
Tue Dec 1, 2009
I've never had any ambition for fame—power and money, yes—but I'd happily take those two if it meant never having to be recognized in sweatpants at CVS in the middle of the night. Perhaps this is the reason I've been so hesitant to capitalize my journalistic skills on camera, as opposed to the happy anonymity I enjoy with a simple byline.
Still, when a special band like Municipal Waste comes along, you just have to make an exception. So this past summer, I took a ride out to the Earache office in Queens to conduct a rare video interview for HT and asked all about their new album.
In addition to releasing the brilliant Massive Aggressive this past summer, bassist Land Phil has also recently unleashed a new EP from his weed/death metal side project, aptly titled Cannabis …READ MORE

Ratt Attack On "That Metal Show"
Mon Nov 30, 2009
The first time I ever heard Ratt’s “Round and Round,” I was 9 years old and spending my summer vacation in a TV-free dacha in upstate New York with my grandmother. It was the summer of '84, and the local Top 40 radio station supplied my only entertainment. I went on to discover a ton of amazing singles that year: Prince's "Let Go Crazy," Depeche Mode's "People are People," and, of course, "Round and Round." After hearing the latter, though, nothing would ever be the same again. Something about Warren DeMartini’s wailing guitar affected me in …READ MORE

Fri Oct 30, 2009
Halloween is by far my favorite holiday, and nothing makes me happier than spending it in New York City, where there's always so much to do and everyone gets really into the costumed revelry. This year's plans include a stop by the Village Halloween Parade (an annual tradition), a party ominously titled Abaddon that's set to feature live blood wrestling, and an attempt to cramp into Vice's blowout anniversary party in Williamsburg.
The party actually started last night at the co-headlined Mastodon/Dethklok show, which also featured Converge and High on Fire. We got there early enough to catch the support acts, and found dead-center, second-row balcony seats from which we could best …READ MORE -

Though CMJ officially ended this past Saturday night, nothing could have been better* than marking its unofficial close than the metal- and rain-soaked festivities of Friday evening. First off, I attended a Slayer siesta hosted by Metal Insider and scored some fine Simon & Schuster swag courtesy of my favorite quipper, Bram T. And though I'd already been privy to hearing World Painted Blood, Slayer's forthcoming masterpiece, there was something really comforting about listening to it played …READ MOREtags: 2 « add a comment

Fri Oct 23, 2009
The weather's taking a turn for the worse, my head is still all sorts of groggy... and I'm about to go do it all again.
Yesterday's keyword was "proximity," as in the spacial closeness that connected the Brooklyn Vegan day show at Piano's with the Tee Pee Records event at Cake Shop. Though Hull disappointingly cancelled their set at the latter, I was able to check out FL's Surfer Blood instead. Sounding like the little cousins of Happy Hollow-era Cursive with a hint of Vampire Weekend, the baby band did well with their catchy indie rock cocktail.After that, I bounced over to Tee Pee and caught Naam, whose intense stoner brown sound threatened to split my hungover skull …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment

Sometimes it's better to forgo the unknown and stick with a sure bet; and last night's programming at CMJ inspired just that. Though there were a few bands I was curious to see (like Bang Bang Eche and Atlas Sound), I decided instead to go see Saul Williams headline the Afropunk showcase at Gramercy Theatre.
For those of you not in the know, Saul Williams is a brilliantly prolific singer, musician and poet who embraces electronica, hip-hop, spoken word and rock—then douses it with a glittery aesthetic that David Bowie would be proud of.
Last night's performance …READ MOREtags: 0 « add a comment
