Now, Now / Kevin Devine on Wednesday night!

 

Just got back from this with user: televised. Holy hell, Kevin Devine was amazing. Seriously killed it. It was cool to stick around afterwards and talk to him a bit. He's a super down to earth guy and seemed genuinely interested in what we thought of the show, etc. He was cool enough to sign a couple records and take a photo. When I showed him the slip cover for Delusion - Stages he freaked out a little and said he hadn't seen it in 15 years and went into some things about it. I also asked him about the "mystery track" on Put Your Ghost To Rest that has the lyrics listed but never was recorded, I See America's Promise. He told me that it's actually a poem that he wrote at the time and felt it tied in really well with a few of the other tracks on the album so it earned its place in the track listing. All around, had a fantastic night.

Maybe a promoter threw a bunch of money at them?

 

 

In other news, I'm (in theory) going to see Iron Chic on Sunday night.  Never seen them before.  Anyone know what stuff they usually play?

Went to Slayer/Gojira the other night.  Thankfully tickets were free.  Gojira killed it.  Slayer was ok, but to me they sound totally different without Jeff.  Paul Bostaph definitely killed it on drums but I was super disappointed that, as usual, they played nothing from Divine Intervention. 

 

Going to Kreator/Overkill/Warbringer tomorrow night.  Can't wait for this thrash fest!
