If global thermonuclear war ever plays out like it threatened to in countless ’80s flicks, The Humanoids will be the last band remaining to rock us through the atomic winter.

13 Billion Years – “PTSD” @ Church 7.14.2012
Here’s 13 Billion Years performing “PTSD”. It’s a new one. It’s only about 12.9 Billion Years old.
OK, that was horrible.*
Did you miss the photos from this show? They’re right here.
* The joke, not the song. The song rules. That heavy riff is so awesome!
13 Billion Years @ Church 7.14.2012
13 Billion Years are the devolution of rock music. What remains is primal and instinctive. They’ve broken it down not to destroy it, but to make it mighty.
13 Billion Years are colossal.
Rule – “Das Brute” @ Church 5.24.2012
Here’s Rule barreling through their song “Das Brute” at Church last week.
Rule @ Church 5.24.2012
Rule opening for Manitoba?* You know I’m there. The band blasted through their set (and a kick drum head!) at Church. Rule doesn’t mess around.
* I know they aren’t local, but I’d be remiss not to mention how great Handsome Dick and his band of merry men were. Hopefully Manitoba will be back around these parts again soon.
Reverse – “United States” @ Church 9.29.2011
In honor of Christopher Columbus and the rest of our founding fathers coming over on The Mayflower, here’s Reverse playing “United States”. Happy Columbus Day! Enjoy your turkey!
Reverse @ Church 9.29.2011
When my lovely wife (designer extraordinaire at Daykamp Creative) wants to go see Reverse on her birthday, who am I to argue? Ian Kennedy even played “Happy Birthday” for her. More importantly the band played “Victoria”, “Dead Man”, “Fluorescent” and a whole bunch of their other songs. Have I mentioned that these guys are one of the best bands in town? I think I have.
Axemunkee @ Church 9.29.2011
Axemunkee held the release party for their new CD, Vortex, at Church. Their set featured trippy projections and a varied palette of instrumental music.
Cropduster @ Church 9.29.2011
Cropduster have a groove. It’s a dark groove. It’s The Stones at their most stoned. It’s early Pink Floyd on a bad trip. It’s Sleep without the sludge. Cream without the bombast. Damn.
