RECAP All Will Fall: The Sword. Troubador, West Hollywood. Mar 12 2007.

Yo! We're in Austin!!

Before we head into all the craziness, my buddy Ben shot over a quick recap for Monday night's The Sword show at the Troubador:



"Monday night in L.A., heading to the The Sword at The Troubadour. I was thrust back to 1988, heading to a T.S.O.L show at the same venue ( or was it the Quasar and the Bamboozled/Gwendolyn experience, the last time I was there? ). I like Metal, but bands of late have seriously let me down - until I heard The Sword last year. Not since The Melvins or Kyuss have been so impressed with the sonic intensity as The Sword. Needless to say, I was keen to hear them live.

Was not disappointed. It was loud, but not stupid loud. The tone emanated from the vintage gear was thick and satisfying - like a nitro top fuel dragster. They consummately blasted through set, interspersing new material between songs from their 2006 release 'Age of Winters' ( Kemado Records ). The Sword possess an unusual combination musical prowess, lyrics derived from Norse mythology, and that Texan lack of pretense. It's all there."

RAD SHIT!

NEXT Diplo, Bonde Do Role (Check Yo' Ponytail.) Safari Sam's, Hollywood. Mar 13 2006.

They're baaaaaaaack!

Check Yo' Ponytail/iheartcomix bring back Diplo and those crazy MFs from Brazil, Bonde do Role. If you caught them last time around, you might have remembered busting a move or two to Bonde's crazy blend of baile funk and punk, with Marina (in an armsling) and Pedro on mic, and Gorky spinning in the back. And if you don't know by now, Diplo usually works up a sweaty set for the peeps.
