Sonar's digging a hole for themselves. Deeper and deeper way down...

yet ANOTHER example of a non-white, non-violent music genre event degenerating into violence... oh, wait.

^My thoughts upon posting.



Hope Sonar's doors stay open at least until after Shellac.

The comment in the blog post says it was a cop that sprayed the pepper spray

i'm not sure what is more pathetic here:

a "deathfest"

violence at a concert called "deathfest"

sweetcell's attempt at humour, but just coming off like an smug asshole (no wonder azag approves)

or the fact that people involved in music playing at a "deathfest" . . . would be on something as gay as twitter.  perhaps it should be "fagfest."

Back in the day, a real metal show would be a failure if someone didn't get beaten up or maced by security.

A) It is kind of a fitting name for a metal festival.
2) Controlled violence (a pit of some sort of willing participants) is typically expected. Problems arise when unwilling people are pepper sprayed and physically attacked without provacation.
3) Sweetcell's comment was called for after your display last week.
Z) Both people whose twitter accounts I linked were reporting for NPR. Yes, NPR cover metal now and they have been doing a fantastic job so far.

Twitter isn't gay.

Anybody going to Maryland Deathfest this year and if so, what days/venues? 

Right now I am thinking about going to the thrash and death metal heavy Saturday show at the Edison Lot.

You should come to the Edison Lot show that I mentioned!  Also get Carlos and a film crew!  It would be one hell of a documentary.

Never been.  Most years there are 2-3 bands i would kill to see but it never works out. Not sure there are any bands on the bill this year that I'll regret not seeing.  Some I'd definitely like to see, though.
