-Yesterday evening, it was in
the 90's outside, and in the 100's
inside the Fireside Bowl during
Oops! A Musical War. Although
I was a bit late due to a Paisano
burrito, I finally saw Wolf Eyes,
who do an interesting Suicide/
S.P.K./Brighter Death Now type
of thing, very lo-fi, but with a
sense of humor that might worry
me. Rah Bras were also pretty
low-tech, but they had a more
anthemic, heavy synth-pop
sound (?), I guess. The Flying
Luttenbachers were very heavy
tonight, on the metal, not the
prog tip. Arab on Radar continues
to be the less obvious and more
spastic cousin of the Rapture/Liars/
Radio 4 axis. The Locust played
grindcore with some analog synth,
but they looked like small men doing
a fashion commando version of Bride
of No No. Less than ten seconds
after they finished, Lightening Bolt
made a surprise (well, you could see
them setting up) appearance at center
court, belting out their distorted drum
and bass (the instruments) version
of Neu! on a lot of speed.
-The next BloodLust! compact disc
release, catalog number B!029, was
mastered on Friday at Alien
Soundscapes, on the Chicago River,
in Pilsen. The artwork is currently
being developed for this "yet-to-be-
announced" release, and the pressing
will probably be carried out in late-
July or early-August. More details
will likely follow very soon, via e-mail
announcements and on the weblog.
