the N Cigs much-controverted review session:

*Death Without Weeping: These guys ain't half bad. Dan Poulin, as well as the rest of the band, are great guys. The music is pretty damn "core"-ish, and i am usually a big core fan, though something didn't grab my attention deeply...but it's actually very unique and they stand out from the pack. Worth seeing again.

*HBBSI - Did take a while to set up, this is true. Breaks between songs were also too long. For anyone that likes old school grind/noise, this is for you. I dug the style...guitar and China were too loud, but I bet Friday, on their home turf, they will own. You should hear the CD they gave me...it's actually really good and great for fans of Carcass and the ilk.

*The_Network: Best show I've seen them play out of the 5 we've played with them. Good band...kinda rock star attitudes I could live without, but musically they have the right idea, as well as stage presence wise.

*PFAP: FUCK YOU IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS BAND. It's everything you wish your band was. Most bands can only dream of being as sincere, funny, outgoing, and fucking INTENSE as these guys. I am forcing them to come on tour with us this winter.

*TOS: What a workout! We rushed the whole set. Bites we got 20 minutes, but it was fun and everyone was so supportive. Thanks to everyone who danced, sang along, clapped, or whatever. Really, that was a blast. Alex almost chewed my head off for cutting the set short, but what can you do? We only had that time frame.

*PsyOpus: This is going to be a fun week. They were really a blast, great musicianship, pretty tight, and the songs still were very technical without the second guitar like on the CD. Tomorrow is going to kick ass. They seem like nice guys but haven't had a chance to really talk with them yet. Greg was an INCREDIBLY appreciative guy and thanked Alex PFAP like 2,000,000 times. They all seemed pretty swell. Chris Arpman knows how to wail! I agree Fred is a great bass player. If you want the truth about Chris, it's not so much his playing that wows me...I've seen a lot of guitar virtuosoes lately...it's the fact that he can do THAT and STILL move around and flip out. Dude, that is fucking hard to rock like that and still play long tap solos, escalations, sweeps, etc. He did TONS of artificials without a pick, not using thumb technique but using the somewhat harder (at least for me) play the note then tap it with your finger one...then dive bomb with the tremolo.

craziness.

fun fucking show. Anyone who didn't come is gay, you missed out and I laugh at you big time. Chris from HCN reprezant!
