The Humanoids @ Church 7.14.2012

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 @ 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 @ 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.
