Wrekmeister Haromonies

Heading out to LA's Echoplex to see Author & Punisher, Corrections House and Wrekmeister Harmonies in a little while. I had never heard of Wrekmeister before, and it was by sheer luck I happened to remember that there was a third band on tonight's bill and, you know, I should probably do a little research before heading out so I knew what I was in store for.

Man am I glad I did that research. I would hate to think that I could have missed this, Chicago's J.R. Robinson's installation-like project you can read all about on Invisible Oranges here (great article by Brad Sanders, btw).

You can buy this wonderful piece of music from Thrilljockey here and there's a great live performance on member/contributer Chris Brokaw's bandcamp.

Sandrider - Godhead

Last week Invisible Oranges debuted "Gorgon", a new song by Seattle band Sandrider. I missed this, caught it with the Brooklyn Vegan re-post this morning when I woke up hung over and needing something get the sludgified blood of three days of Chicago food - beef sandwiches and pizza and hot dogs and Goose Island beer - moving first thing on a Tuesday. Not only did Gorgon do the trick before I'd even had any coffee, I moved around and found some other tracks that tell me A) this is an album that needs to be purchased IMMEDIATELY for my constant listening pleasure and B) this is going to be big.

Above is Sandrider playing a full set compliments of Seattle's KEXP - a fantastic radio station that has some great streaming available. However, I strongly recommend hitting either that IO or BV link above and hearing the studio version of Gorgon, along with all other pertinent information about Godhead, due 11/19 on Good to Die Records. Kinda feeling about Sandrider the way I felt about High on Fire and Trailer Hitch the first time I heard them back in the day...
