Lightning Bolt

[Fawkes]

These guys are fucking awesome. I just got back from one of their shows they were doing for free for some NYU bullshit, maybe the best show I've ever seen. The NYU cops stopped the show three different times and threatened to shut it down, always a good sign :thumbup: It's just a drummer and a bassist, even though it sounds like there's more. Brian Gibson, the bassist, plays a 5 string and uses banjo strings for the two highest ones which is why some of it sounds like a guitar.

They make Death From Above 1979 (who is awesome too, by the way) sound like Simon and Garfunkel.

My earplugs fell out halfway through and I now hear with an echo in my left ear... :mellow:

Lucky bastard. I wish I could experience what seems like mind blowing show. Defiantly one of the best noise rock bands going.

[Fawkes]

Yeah, it was so epic. The cops kept stopping it cause everyone was stage diving and climbing up onto the canopy tent thing and jumping off (it was outdoors). Plus the band was playing at a way higher volume than they were supposed to be. The best part was the first two times the cops went up on stage Brian kept his bass on so the feedback was so loud that it drowned out whatever they were saying. Check em out if you get the chance, so fuckin worth it.

Motherfuck. They were playing in Philly not long ago and I couldn't make it.

A friend of a friend went, though. Apparently he lost most of his clothes and was lying on the stage for most of the show. We're not sure how he got there or got back, since he's like an hour out of Philly and really doesn't have any way to get there or back.

band owns so hard. Saw them at whartscape last year. Rarely is shredding so hard seen anywhere.

I was in kind of a depressive mood all morning and then I had my face melted just now. Fawkes wins again!
