Last week I made a rare appearance outside of my house and actually went to a show for a change. It was a pretty sick lineup and it was free!
Monarch! rolled in from France, plus Trees from PDx, and Lesbian from I forget where. I won't lie to you, I'm not usually into this sort of thing (with some exeptions of course). You know, the more droney end of the Doom Metal spectrum, the "hit a chord every two minutes" style. I really don't have the patience for it, after a few minutes I start getting anxious waiting for the blast part to kick in, but alas, it never does. But let me tell you these bands really hit the spot. Maybe it's a genre more appreciated live? Who knows, but this show ruled for sure. I tried to take some pictures, but they didn't really come out all that good. And (un?)fortunately for you I am going to show them to you anyways. So here we go, some terrible pictures of some awesome Doom Metal bands.
TREES
His mic RULED.
MONARCH!
Their singer Emilie ran her vocals through like 40 different kinds of reverb pedals, it sounded fucking awesome.
LESBIAN
OK, Lesbian aren't drone/doom metal at all really, they were more uptempo and kind of proggy. They fucking ripped and we're a perfect ending to this gig.
MISC
Oh, and speaking of random, while driving home my buddy, who was behind the wheel, looks over and says "hey, check out that bus". And sure as shit, it was Tim and Eric's (of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job! on Adult Swim) Tour bus!!! So we got up close to get some shots and these were the best I could do going close to 60 mph down the 5 freeway at 2am.
