Seems like something you might enjoy. Gonna go back and listen to "Thank You" after reading your review, liked that LP, but not nearly as much as you seem to! Have you heard Neil's triple live LP with the Howling Hex? Some SERIOUS guitar workouts on that.<br /><br />link for zine - http://thelokilabel.storenvy.com/productsrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569175677848869237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264361084002543990.post-73883727306280641642014-07-19T22:41:54.440-07:002014-07-19T22:41:54.440-07:00I admire Greg's creative output, for sure.I admire Greg's creative output, for sure.

They sure are touring hard - think they started end of May, and got shows through the end of August! If you enjoyed the last tour, I think you'll dig this one was well, I'd say it was better overall. <br /><br />Last song must've been a new one, unless it was a cover I didn't recognize - I'm sure a new LP will materialize sometime - I'm hoping they'll record as a full band this time around...everyone in the band seemed very upbeat and energetic, despite the small turnout. russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569175677848869237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264361084002543990.post-1299468505785679992014-07-18T15:27:37.172-07:002014-07-18T15:27:37.172-07:00Thanks for the review, Russ!

I was sad to miss Black Flag, hopefully they'll be back west. <br />I have yet to hear the Corrugators CD, but hope to hear it soon.<br />Maybe that last tune was a new one? I look forward to hearing a new LP!<br />Cheers, Russ!

Did you also hear the Taylor Texas Corrugators release that came out this year? Besides your review, I haven't been able to find any info on these 2 releases. <br /><br />I just saw the Victimology tour 2 nights ago, and it was excellent. Might as well put up a review here. Cinema Cinema opened, heavy 2-man guitar/drums lineup - reminded of Melvins at times, though the vocals were a bit over the top (almost nu-metal at times) - but there was lots of long instrumental portions. Haven't heard any studio output, but I'd imagine it'd sound like something SST would've done in 1989.<br /><br />Royal We was up next - performed the "Fearless Leaders" LP in its entirety. Really liked that LP so was happy with the set. Ginn using a Macbook, theremin, some kind of pad (you can see it in the Coachella video) and guitar of course. Also a pretty big TV with all sorts of bizarre images synced to the music.<br /><br />Black Flag changed a lot since the 2013 tour, which I think you reviewed and I saw it and had a good time. One thing I must say, that's not exactly positive - Ginn really seems to be trying to please the crowd this time around. 2013 featured plenty of early pre-Rollins stuff, and so did this tour. Whereas in '13, the songs seemed slower and pretty off-kilter (either by design or by fault of the rhythm section). This time around they were all played faithfully - the young rhythm section has a lot of energy and really tore into this stuff. Vallely fills the singer role fine. Nothing off of "What The..." - but a few extra tunes from the post-Damaged era in their place, plus a couple Good For You songs. Forget which songs, but a couple evolved into VERY long jams (~ 10 minutes) which was cool (I loved the jams on "Down In The Dirt" and "Can't Decide" last year. Very minimal use of the theremin this time around. The band announced they had one last song , and the bassist and Ginn switched instruments and launched into "Louie Louie" - after that I thought they were just going to some sort of jam, but they played one more song which I didn't recognize at all. Total set time was around 1 hr 45 minutes! Sadly, less than 100 people in attendancerusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569175677848869237noreply@blogger.com
