Across Tundras Old World Wanderer CD and Tour Launch Now

I was lucky enough to be at the Across Tundras CD release show this past Saturday and have to say i was blown away. If you've seen Across Tundras before and thought you had your mind made up about them you need to check again cause they've transformed into a completely different beast. The new CD (recorded here at meltface studios by Rob McKinney) is the recording debut of their new bassist and electric sitar\guitar players both of which add amazing dimension to these fantastically crafted songs. The basslines would make geezer proud and the sitar not only beefs up the high leads but gives that Neurosis detuned bend on the low thuds, it all comes of great live and you need to check them out. Go buy the CD from their big cartell site and listen to the tracks on their myspace.... do it! now!

You Nashville kids make damn sure to be at the Black Cobra\USX this Wednesday and Weedeater Show at the end of April! I know it's at the Muse but where else can you sneak in the back door then smoke weed while doing heroin while drinking booze you snuck in while watching brutal metal and not get hassled by people or thrown out?

Evil Bebos to play with Weedeater on January 25th

I am pretty sure this picture speaks for itself. Weedeater are a three piece Doom band with a healthy reputation for heavy ass music and crazy live escapades.  One of my friends from Nashville (whose name rhymes with "sheary" and whose band rhymes with "slammerporch") described them as Flinstones metal. I can't say I disagree.

Weedeater will be playing with Meltface's black sheep Evil Bebos and Murfreesboro's own Rintrah at the Muse on January 25th. Discounted tickets should be available through the bands closer to the show. Watch for updates.

Also, check out what the kind folks are saying about Meltface and Heartbeater over at the Nashville Cream.

Edit:

You can buy presale tickets from the Muse website now for $8 versus $10 on the day of. Will let you know if I get a better break somewhere.

This just in:

"Dixie" from Weedeater shot off his big toe with a shotgun over the weekend while cleaning it. Although this isn't suprising (note the above post), it is extremely sad and distressing. Doctors say he will recover, but that he needs to take a few months off from touring.

Thus, the Weedeater show has been POSTPONED to a later date (March or April according to the Weedeater blog). We will keep you posted on updates.

We wish "Dixie" a speedy recovery.
