Do you like doom?
It seems that you cannot buy a cup
of coffee these days without running
into a doom or stoner rock show.
Isidro, Ed, and I went to see a triple-
header at Chicago's jazz showcase,
the Note, last night. New York's
Unearthly Trance opened up, with a
slow set of Eyehategod- and Burning
Witch-inspired sludge, followed by
the Canadian heavy psychedelic band
Sons of Otis (who is Otis?). Electric
Wizard headlined, and they were quite
heavy, although not much to watch.
Orange Goblin definitely put on a more
entertaining show a few weeks back.
The 90-degree night was fruitful, though,
as a new term came in to being:
"War Pig" - as in gothapotamus, but in
a Sabbath inspired setting.
