Considering the album is only 5 tracks long, 2 bonus tracks is a huge addition. I also enjoyed the Pelican and Twilight albums. The surprise 7th album was a live Sunn 0))) double record.

They've been scheduled at the Empyrean for many months, but it has been closed for at least a couple months also. The Elkfest page claims they are playing an Elkfest warm up show. The Inlander seems to think this will take place at the Elk. Either way their should be some new songs like the one seen below.<div><br /></div><br /><center><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_0JJJ6W5Qv8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /></center>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14702228823484984580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273763199550478548.post-66815532268420240632011-05-23T09:52:00.000-07:002011-05-23T09:59:09.913-07:00Elkfest 2011 Lineup<a href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/61525921.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 370px;" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/61525921.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Elkfest is now 2 weeks away and the lineup has been set. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theglobes">The Globes</a> were previously booked but had to drop out because they are heading out on tour to support their new Barsuk records album.<div><br /></div><div><b>Friday, June 3rd</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The Camaros</div><div>Folk Inception</div><div>Blood Hot Beat</div><div>Shim</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Saturday, June 4th</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Mon Chéri</div><div>Crickets of Cascadia</div><div>Flying Spiders</div><div>Real Life Rockaz</div><div>Strength</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday, June 5th</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Old Bear Mountain</div><div>La Cha-Cha</div><div>Whiskey Dick Mountain</div><div>Koontz and the Bullies</div><div>Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside<br /> <div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></span></div></div>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14702228823484984580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273763199550478548.post-82464149767065375692011-05-18T08:32:00.000-07:002011-05-23T09:41:47.564-07:00Red Fang - Spokane, WA 5/12/2011<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSu0ddCqcpn1nQ0qsa8T8gegDWS635gEFBn6_CLXIE_Bgi5BpyuaD5yyFYJjquqSYeXP591AMihItsYUlKqXIjIU5P_wKYz-R1Qq4RwQOyqbUhXllnWP9pwHnRmN01_ruLabnxIS-BqU8/s640/IMG_20110512_234240.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 590px; height: 478px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSu0ddCqcpn1nQ0qsa8T8gegDWS635gEFBn6_CLXIE_Bgi5BpyuaD5yyFYJjquqSYeXP591AMihItsYUlKqXIjIU5P_wKYz-R1Qq4RwQOyqbUhXllnWP9pwHnRmN01_ruLabnxIS-BqU8/s640/IMG_20110512_234240.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Red Fang made a <a href="http://redfangband.blogspot.com/2011/05/spokane-wa-51211.html">stop in Spokane</a> on Thursday to start of a very long tour for their new album <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Red-Fang-Murder-The-Mountains/release/2836336"><i>Murder the Mountain</i>s</a>. There were three openers at the A Club downtown so Red Fang didn't go on until 10:45. Despite the late start, these guys put on a great show.

From their myspace:<br /><blockquote>"Founded in 2009 to meet the ever-growing need for the development of quality musical entertainment, the Cosmic Panther Land Band has quickly skyrocketed to becoming one of Seattle's largest and most alluring bands. Comprised of three parts Maldives, equal parts Moondoggies, Widower, Shim, Pica Beats, and one part intergalactic freakazoid, CPLB defends the summertime universe with their own brand of Mungo music, hot Jerry jams, and Canned country rhythms. Get in the van, man!"<br /></blockquote>Jason Dodson of the Maldives played a song he wrote for the band with Kevin Murphy of the Moondoggies at the Empyrean last month. No songs yet on their myspace and the band hasn't figured out when they are going to release anything according to Jason. The Maldives and the Moondoggies are both playing at the <a href="http://steamgenius.blogspot.com/2010/02/birds-on-wire-festival-2010.html">Birds on a Wire festival</a> in Pullman this weekend (at the same time), so maybe we'll hear more about the band.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14702228823484984580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273763199550478548.post-13534642118419504512010-02-26T08:32:00.000-08:002010-02-26T08:35:57.522-08:00Birds on a Wire Festival 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIlr7U3wflHEPLhhNeQa-5vuEwMeJpGSmEQSpx-6bu5g-OoGgWUQdTxaUtaYhYXbqcCoc8foExhEgl0MrtltuKP8DS5lyIIv0pUoh6p09XSoIfqn_bIVY15BGHINT9KICFoQi-7D2Ego/s1600-h/birds.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIlr7U3wflHEPLhhNeQa-5vuEwMeJpGSmEQSpx-6bu5g-OoGgWUQdTxaUtaYhYXbqcCoc8foExhEgl0MrtltuKP8DS5lyIIv0pUoh6p09XSoIfqn_bIVY15BGHINT9KICFoQi-7D2Ego/s320/birds.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442589454290739778" border="0" /></a><br />Pullman, I know you can't believe.

They were able to get a nice group of NW folk and alternative acts, including the <a href="http://steamgenius.blogspot.com/2009/06/elkfest-2009-spokane-wa-529-312009.html">Maldives and the Moondoggies</a>. They also grabbed a couple Spokane acts like <a href="http://steamgenius.blogspot.com/2009/09/joel-smith-spokane-wa-8112009.html">Joel Smith and Karli Fairbanks</a>.<br /><br />In Spokane, tickets can be bought at the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/empyreancoffee">Empyrean</a>.

After a dinner of hot pockets and ketchup, the bands took the stage.<br /><br />Local openers were <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fodysseyspokane&ei=GN1xS-rmLoaGswOvu-mxCA&usg=AFQjCNGN4Lk1X1qKjbhEoLacjoNgcA7EjA&sig2=lYU6zBSHv415hVDP9YFM9g">Odyssey</a>. They played 3 or 4 of their spacey prog-metal jams. A very solid set with surprisingly good sound for such a small venue.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fthebinarycodenj&ei=Md1xS5CLNIHStgOB3piQCA&usg=AFQjCNFTjSZRaFVbNfdgB5-pjffZju6w-w&sig2=i4zTknU_3hhHgR8d8BgiOA">The Binary Code</a> from New Jersey was next.

They play an aggressive form of thrash metal that bludgeons you without getting monotonous. Quick time changes and unique leads keep you enthralled. They do not shy away from humor either, with song titles like "None Shall Be Spared (All Shall Be Speared)" and "Exhumed Identity". The guys from the Binary Code matched their onstage energy, getting up front in the tiny space to support their tour mates.<br /><br />Headliners <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fhypno5e&ei=ot1xS_jbBoKYsgOkj6WzCA&usg=AFQjCNFA3We6MsI0WX8-q9Ki_4tUOYUvMw&sig2=S9n5wzmt5D4ABb2pPE35Zg">Hypno5e</a> from France were the Art in the tour. They mixed their riffs and growled vocals with spoken word samples. The Binary Code once again provided support for their tour mates when others seemed confused about what to do. <br /><br />Revocation - "Dismantle the Dictator" (<a href="http://www.metalinjection.net/av/revocation-free-mp3-download-dismantle-dictator?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+metalinjection+%28Metal+Injection+%3A%3A+Latest+Posts%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">MP3</a>)Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14702228823484984580noreply@blogger.com0
