Anatomy of Habit - Video from 07/10/10

I had not previously posted this video clip of Anatomy of Habit performing the song "Torch" that was shot at The Viaduct Theater last July. It is of much higher quality than most of AoH clips that exist online...

7/10 Show Recap

A big thanks to everyone who came out last night to support the show! It was a great time, through and through. Excellent performances, loud and crystal-clear sound, and lots of good friends.

Rabid Rabbit kicked off the night with a powerhouse doom set, and the talk of the night was about how strong and focused they continue to feel with the addition of Dan on guitar. Amazing stuff! But as I told Arman, when they began their "Suicide Song" (AKA, their cover of "Gloomy Sunday"), I got a little teary not being up there.

Neil Jendon was up next and the massive low-end belching out of his synth set-up literally caused one of the giant speaker towers to vibrate off of its table/stand, and somehow, out of the corner of my eye, I saw it sailing through the air and I managed to grab its handle before it hit the ground. He straddled a very interesting line between unsettling, powerful noise and nearly minimal techno, in a bizarre way. Like the throb-throb I mentioned in the Cities In Flight" CD write-up. And what a great ending/outro!

We (Anatomy of Habit) were up next and we tried a new way of starting "Torch," by entering the stage one man at a time, which seemed to add a nice layering effect to the song. We did a pretty stretched-out version of it, before shifting gears and playing a very "bright" (? - maybe not lyrically) version of "After The Water." I believe that we all felt really good about our set and from the sounds of the recording that I made, we seemed to have a good night... It certainly felt great while it was going down.

Wolf Eyes were left to play a truly dynamic, slow-building set, that moved from those classic dark basement creeper moments to full-blown hard, rubbery beats with Nate's full on screams. Of the many times that I have seen them live, this was probably the most varied and multi-dimensional set that I can think of... I don't think I want to wait another year to see them again, but this certainly made the wait worthwhile. It was a monster!

Thanks to Whitney and Robert at the Viaduct Theater for hosting us, and major thanks to Shauna for such kick-ass live sound all night!

After loading the gear back in, we had late night take-away tacos and burritos - from San Juan, of course - enjoyed backyard-style until the mosquitoes proved to be tougher than we were. The Wolves fled the throne room early, heading back home to Michigan as we speak...
