--- Humanasaur, Bitchslicer, The World Famous Crawlspace Brothers, It will End in Pure Horror


It will End in Pure Horror played first. They put on a really fun set, though I think they where too harsh for most of the people at the show, which is a shame. I think more bands should be and should have this much fun while playing. They are kind of a spastic thrash punk style band with grind vocals. They call it power-violence.

The World Famous Crawlspace Brothers played second. The Crawlspace Brothers currently consists of Rich Hillen Jr. by his lonesome. He played a solo TWFCB set. Rich is awesome. He almost didn't make it to the show but at the last minute he pulled it together. He went over really well playing in between heavy bands.

Bitchslicer played third. I felt like our set kicked ass. Everyone there really seemed to be into it. I think this was by far the best show we have played since Justin joined, and quite possibly one of the best to date. The set was tight and lightning fast. We added a new song to the set also "Lycanthropic Fellatio" the title track off of the newest CD. Kit (from Slumlord) came up and sang "Drag my Own Coffin to Hell"

Humanasaur played fourth. AWESOME !!! They where so thick and heavy it was just crushing. As a two piece they used to sound like a crusty basement Neurosis, but as a five piece they have a bigger, fuller, smoother sound. Kind of stoner / doom type sound but not really coming from the same place as most stoner doom bands.

--- Psycho, Hirudinea, It will End in Pure Horror, Bitchslicer


Bitchslicer played first. We played a really good set, not as good as friday but still solid. Justin detuned his bass to play a Returner song during sound check and then never tuned back. He did not realize this until we began the first song of our set but after the first few notes he adjusted.

It will End in Pure Horror played second. They kicked ass !!! They where a lot better than on friday in philly. They began their set with a moment of silence for Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Half of their set was just Rich basically doing stand up comedy, and at one point he and the drummer where just making fun of each through the PA system for about two minutes.

Hirudinea played third. They were very tight, and put on a good show. There was something about the sound with these guys though, it was really hard for me to tell what they where doing. I was close enough that I wasn't really hearing them through the PA so I guess that their onstage volume was actually pretty quiet maybe ???

Psycho played fourth. Psycho was fucking awesome !!! They where doing a sort of a thrash punk kind of thing with a lot of energy, and really short flashy metal guitar solos, a perfect mix of great elements. This band originally formed in 1981. You got to give it up to a band that is over 25 years old. They where all really cool guys too, i really hope we get to play some more shows with them in the future.
