Idles, with some c-tier indie codswallop as support, Annexet in Stockholm
Yeah, fucking dogshit.
1/10 - only because the Peel Session version of Blindness, by The Fall, was played on the PA before the main act.

'...this song is about being buried alive by thousands of tons of molten lava...'
Botch, with Great Falls, at Vega in greasy old Copenhagen last night.
Y'know that thing when you buy a ticket and you just know in your balls and in your soul it's gonna be an absolute belter of a show? Then when it happens it's like, about 40 or 50 times better? Yeah, that.
8pm. Made sure I was there for the opening band because if you can't be bothered to turn up when the support turns up to play then you need your hands smashed like biscuits. Great Falls were... great. Incredibly heavy sludge with pummeling grindcore breaks and singing directly without mics. Only realised about half way through their set I totally own some of their records - off the back of split singles and whatnot. I buy shit from bandcamp all the time, so things sometimes get misplaced. Anyway, the mad kid said they were totally cool and worth checking out - the split with Throes is particularly bludgeon-y.
9pm. Botch were immense. Never saw them on their last swing 20-odd years ago because, apparently, I was a fucking idiot. But I love their records and I have seen Russian Circles a whole bunch of times, so seeing Brian wild out and actually talk *and* sing was fucking righteous. Dave sounded awesome, Dave played awesome, and Tim smashed the drums like a motherfucker. And for a gang of dudes in their late-40's who go on stage and just straight up break themselves into fucking pieces for a good hour-plus? Fuck me. Flawless.
So yeah. Just pure dynamite action all round and one of those shows that people will remember for years - because, y'know, they'll never play again and are giving it one final blast just for a larf, see the world, and prove a point.
And a *major* shout-out to the stringy pensioner dude at the front giving big licks for the entire show - I recognise him from the Liturgy show last year. I'm seeing Idles on Monday, they're going to be total fucking dogshit compared to this lol.
20/10 - would transition from Japam to Afghamistam again.

Comeback Kid last week with a bunch of 40 something year old dads dangerously trying to stage dive.

Going back to the early pages of this thread is very interesting. So many bands that just aren't around anymore. My last show was a while ago. I think it was PJ Harvey in a very small place in Brooklyn called Warsaw. My next two are The Oh Sees in the same place and then Tedeschi Trucks Band in the Beacon Theater in September.

PJ Harvey in Warsaw, Brooklyn a few weeks ago. I had 10th row seats for $60. This isn't my video. I was a few seats closer to the center.

Kool Keith, Black Elvis 2 record release party at Sony Hall NYC last Sunday. He went on 3 hours late. Only 150 people stayed but man was it worth it. Like a house party in a ballroom.

Queens of the Stone Age | Sunday 19th | Birmingham UK
Josh Homme announced he'd been smoking weed all day and that this show was gonna be a a little bit...uhh... stonery. It was. It was strangely intimate for an arena gig, like master swordsmen duelling in an opium den.
Myself and Morning Star Junior danced and grooved along with the others that were riding the lounge vibe. All the tunes you'd want were delivered. They were magnificent and so were we.
As we left I realised that there was a big Mark Lanegan shaped hole in some of the songs. We listened to Whiskey for the Holy Ghost all the way home.

Those fucking CAVALERA boys.
Pure thrash madness in full effect, with tracks from Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation and a couple of Sepultura songs thrown in for diabolical measure.
Iggor smashing the drums like they owed him money and Max, well, is Max, metal as fuck 100% of the time.
8/10. Would devastate my morbid again.
*minus two points for the guy in front of me with Whitesnake hair the size of a caravan and some other cunt spilling beer on me.

Domi and JD Beck are amazing. They signed merch after the show and I snapped a group pic with my son. Good times. I didn't know much about Polyphia, but I enjoyed their set as well.
