Death Mask, Live!

I got an email from a friend of mine who's seeking a little love. I've done my bit for king & country... now it's your turn. Buy a ticket & don't go!!! Marcus' message follows:

Many of you may know, I am in a black/thrash metal band called "Death Mask", and we play around the area, mostly down here in the Burg, and also in Richmond. We are playing a show called "Headbang For The Highway" at Jaxx in Springfield March 17, mostly for cash, swag, and a supposed record deal. The thing is, it is Jaxx, and also, EE Booking, and they are assholes, so we have to personally sell 50 tickets. So, basically, I am begging for help, and a little support. Plus, they will really screw us if we don't sell these things, so if you are interested, please tell me, we are entertaining, if anything, and pretty good at what we do.

Look, I realize many of you may like indie rock or pop music, and this isn't your thing. Hey, if you wanna just buy a ticket and not go, I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED!!!!!! It's loud, it's angry and offensive, and includes a lot of screaming. Yep, that is my disclaimer, but no apologies for it.

Thanks everyone, I think I am done swallowing the pride for one day.

Happy New Year, Bitches!

[Some info: I was at the very loud and very rockin' party that Last Train Home throws at Iota when I called in this entry. It's hard to understand my commentary, mostly because of how freaking loud it was. The point, though, is clear and expressed as eloquently as I can muster in the title of this entry.]

Colorado - Day 6, Part 3a: DMB

[I'm not going to try to maintain any order to the retelling of the vacation tales. You're just going to have to deal with it, or cut and paste them, whate'er you wish. I've made some sense of the numbering scheme of how the trip happened, in case you actually want to do that once they're all written.]

At the Monday DMB show, I finally got to hear one of the two songs I want to hear live, and by far the one I'd thought I'd have much less of a chance of hearing: Old Dirt Hill.

This is going to alienate me from most DMB fans out there, but I absolutely love that track, and I absolutely love that it looks like it's going to be the next single from the album in spite of your hatred for the song, and I absolutely love that they played it twice at Red Rocks, in spite of y'all.

I loved the song the first time I heard it, and I love it every time I listen to it now, and I was just ecstatic when they started into it on Monday, and I sort of perversely enjoy that Jenn and I were the only two people within 30 rows who even game a rat's ass that they were even playing the song.
