Gozu are a beastly thing and I like it.
Gozu @ Radio 5.3.2013
Gozu just released The Fury Of A Patient Man. The band took over Radio for a whole weekend to properly introduce it to the world. These guys are really good.
Motherboar @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.20.2012
Brutal. Devastating. Unrelenting. Throw all of those terms at Motherboar’s 2012 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Run. They were the heaviest band in this year’s competition and they didn’t shy away from that distinction. They pummeled the TT’s crowd with three sets of punishing metal. More importantly, they were also a blast to watch. The may not have donned the Rumble tiara (what a sight that would have been), but their Finals set proved why they got the wildcard. Motherboar is one of the best bands in town.

Motherboar @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.12.2012
Motherboar did the same thing in their Rumble Semifinal set as they did in the preliminary round: lay waste to TT’s. Would you want it any other way? Expecting something different probably would have left you disappointed Thursday night. I didn’t see too many disappointed faces during Motherboar’s set. Then again, it was hard to see much of anything through all of the flying beers and pumping fists.
