Let's just say that Trevor Church, the organizing force around Beastmaker put together an incredible release campaign - In June. It seems to have culminated yesterday.
Favorite Track is "Motherfuzzer", #2:

So we were listening to Bandcamp, going through different heavy bands, trying to find some good material for a heavy music show. You may or may not know that we've been working a long-time plan for throwing a heavy music festival here in Long Beach, California. Part of getting that happening has been driving around and looking for places to actually host the event (we're thinking a warehouse somewhere).
Amazing. Scott Weiland channeling Jim Morrison...
Here at Thermionic, we're not always open to new interpretations of heavy songs, however, the past two days have been interesting. Yesterday, driving back from Santa Monica I was listening to KCRW. DJ Raul Campos played a tastefully remixed version of Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan.
You probably know the DeWalt company for cordless drills and stuff from Home Depot or Lowe's... (Do they even sell DeWalt at Lowe's?)
Per the article posted by Stef Lach on classicrock.teamrock.com: Till Lindemann of Rammstein opines that there will be no future huge rock acts.
"I wouldn't start a band today..."

In our continuing saga of Musicians vs Club Owners, there's yet another entry from the Houston Press.

Clearly when that club owner posted his missive, it struck a chord.
We need to offer some background on this letter first:
1.) It would appear that Chris LeDrew originally found this posting at the beginning of 2013.
2.) It appears to have been reposted by Chris, or someone known to Chris who gave him credits at On Stage Magazine.
3.) Presuming the chain of custody and the chain of information is correct, this Craiglist posting was listed briefly in the Tampa site...
