i am definitely going to this show tonight. dead meadow are one of my favorite bands and i've seen them about 12 times. i am actually not familiar with the icarus line, though i know one of those dudes writes for buddyhead. i've heard comparisons from cave in to the jesus lizard.
the opening band, 400 blows, is terrific. they're from los angeles and play fast, mathy noise rock, kind of similar to bands like don caballero, dazzling killmen, unsane, rodan, etc. i'll be there as early as possible to see them.
i love jason's vocals, by the way, because they're unique and tripped-out and fit the music well. it would suck if he had that typical aggro/macho vocal style.
