hey middle east, mabe some day, you will put in some lights that aren't red and white? maybe some blues and greens? I hate shooting in red lights.

id: the last time I saw them was at o'briens for like one song when I ran in on a show that ended early or something. before that, I think it was at jarrod's. they had a lot more slow, "doomy" parts than I remember. they definitely fit into this fest and they are from NH which gives them even more points in my book. anyhow, for a two piece, their sounds was perfectly full. during the doomy parts, the drummer looked like he had the breaks on and was holding himself back.

ocean: they were so fucking loud through that PA. it sounded awesome, but my fillings were rattling. it was early-ish in the night, but they got an awesome response from the crowd. I thought at one point they were done, but then they came back and played another song. that probably made dying muse happy cause he just showed up.

kevorkians angels: I thought it was going to be the normal same old set they normally play (plus the new song backstabber that they have been playing). they played the standard KA hits, but then played a ganggreen cover. it was super fast to say the least with brad singing. I'm also not sure when the double bass (almost blasting ) drums were added to the ones you forgot, but from on the stage, it sounded awesome.

syzslak: wasn't that the name of bad guys in the land of the lost? maybe not. I think this is one of the pitsbough bands that joenc is always talking up (like bitchslicer). they were really good. there was some sonic youth/rock in fluences that you could hear in their songs. everyone in the band sung too which was cool. Wasn't the drummer in another band from down there and sang too? at one point, the guitarist, thursten moore doppleganger, jumped into the crowd with the mic and thrashed around on some guy, in people's faces, and on his back before jumping back up on stage.
(note: I think the bad guys from the land of the lost were actually called sleasstacks)

magrudergrind: damn, was their set awesome just like I thought it would be. they played 02984294 (that's base 8 for you math nerd) songs in a 15 minute set. I think they actually played longer than they normally play. every time I see them, they play better and better. If they keep it up, we will see them touring the US opening for napalm death.

wet nurse: another band that was so good. I guess I've e-known the drummer for many years (worked pr at earache). they started off with a slower intro. I had heard the CD a couple times on a car ride, but forgot mostly what it sounded like. the vocals were strange, but the only way I think I could describe them is if tommy giles (BTBAM) circa the first BTBAM CD tried to cover candiria songs. I'm not just saying "candiria" cause the singer's black. I'm saying that cause the beginning of the singing was very rappy.. and then the singing patterns of the last song were vulture-like screaming, but in a rap-like pattern. the music was all over the place too. some times it sounded like watchmaker, other times rocky.

conifer: I think they only played 2 songs (or was it 3, I forget). at some point in the middle of the set, zack broke a string and the rest of the band played a loop until he fixed it. the last song they played didn't sound familiar and then w3 came over the tell me it was a new song. I figured since I thought they'd been in the studio lately. they set up in their normal fashion, but king douche didn't make an appearance. odd.

buried inside: I had been hoping that they would play the new CD in one loooong track and that's what they did. it was awesome to see and a testament to the stamina of the band that they played for the whole 35 minute set with out stopping. they sounded really tight too. they ended and walked off with the sampler playing the last track off their CD, but I think the sound guy cut it short.. er.. I forget. I'm pretty sure that joe wouldn't like them, but we'll see from his review.

unearthly trance: they were super slow. I saw them before and don't remember them being as heavy as they were. their music had a doom/death sound to it, but it was ultra slow. there was also effects pedals that they used. at the end of their first song, I think that they realized that they hadn't hooked one of the fx boxes up so the bassplayer quickly grabbed it and set it up under the viel of a bunch of feedback from the singer/guitarist. with this band (like with conifer) it seemed like the drummer lead most of what they were doing. I think that he could have speeded up or slowed farther down and the other guys would have just followed him. it reminds me of the solipsis set were the drummer has a metrenome ticking in his ear and they can play the tracks at whatever speed they want.
