what's that all about??? (http://www.bluecheer.info/bluecheernews.htm)
-
that is totally wierd. used to love that band.
-
adam heinzmann of internal void put this show together, and since internal void is based around frederick, that's where the show is. blue cheer is recording a new alum with chris kozlowski (who produced the obsessed, spirit caravan, pentagram, etc) in maryland.
if i didn't have to manage the voxtrot/antiques/ceremony show at the warehouse tomorrow, i'd be going to see if blue cheer can still kick it.

damn snailhook, a pioneering heavy psych band is playing the dc area for the first time (in ages probably) and you won't be around to witness it?
i'll be there for sure but it just won't be the same without ya man!
-
tell me about it...i'm really bummed, but that's what i get for booking shows at the warehouse. if i knew this show was going to happen three months ago, i would have skipped out on booking the indie rock show.
-
Ah, Snail...
if they are recording in Maryland, maybe you can book them in a show in DC. :D That is, if they've still got it.

breaking news:
looks like voxtrot won't be able to make it because of van troubles. i'll know for sure in an hour.
this means that i can probably go to blue cheer.
-
Did you make it to this Snailhook??? Curious if anyone knew how it was....
-
Yeah, I want to know about this too.

blue cheer far exceeded my expectations. easily one of the best "dinosaur" bands i've seen. there were times when they sounded just as loud and intense as any vital current stoner rock band.
i found out that duck mcdonald, the guitarist, has been playing with dickie for 18 years, so he knew exactly what to do. his solos were tweaked enough as to not sound like straight-up bar blues. dickie peterson sounded great, and joe hasselvander (who used to drum for pentagram) was perfect. they sounded like the ultimate power trio; in lesser hands, the material would just sound boneheaded and dated, but in their hands, it was godlike. there were moments during "doctor please" where they got into pure sludge/doom territory. and i waited my whole life to hear "out of focus"...that shit was just completely righteous.
apparently, dickie's back in the states -- he had been in germany for 13 years -- so hopefully blue cheer will tour the states more often. they are currently recording in maryland with chris kozlowski (who produced the obsessed, spirit caravan, pentagram, internal void, etc).
the setlist (basically all of vincebus eruptum and three from outsideinside):
Babylon
Rock Me Baby
Out Of Focus
Parchment Farm
The Hunter
Hoochie Coochie Man
Summertime Blues
Just a Little Bit >
Doctor Please
