Darlin'...oh darlin'...
Here's a short and sweet review of a short and sweet gig.
Took the lady friend to see her second international act last night, Hello to Paul Rote and friend, those other kids from the Bang! gig as well, and Kadavar's very tall and skinny drummer.
Sons Of Huns tore through a quick opening set. I'd heard the Bandcamp they have but needed a live experience to truly get it. What these guys are doing is...well, I'll say that if you like Ogre in any capacity, you should love this band. Musically, perhaps not vocally, they have a real classic hard rock/stoner sound going on. I picked a couple pins up and will have to grab an album now. Lots of banging heads during their too short set. I know my neck feels like Jello, anyway.

Went outside once and saw Kadavar's drummer, which is when the coolest thing that's ever happened to me at a gig went down. I asked my lady which song is her favorite, she says Black Sun. I of course then proceed to ask the drummer if they can play it tonight for my lady, and bam! They sure did, It sounded big, too. Their whole set was loud. And pretty fast and furious for a retro-rock act. By the middle of the set, the pit opened. I didn't bring my lady, with RSD, fibromyalgia etc to Kadavar thinking she'd be shoved around. I protected her from the moronic kids, who at one point just straight lifted a body from the ground for 10 seconds and then promptly dropped him straight to the floor. This crowd was moronic.
I was shoving backs back into the circle to try to protect at least three ladies who were all huddled together. I thought the crowd sucked at Dax Riggs at KFN, but honestly, after setting my lady behind me and seeing her safety, I just head-banged my way through all those idiots. Yeah, people stare. Well excuse me, I don't mosh or take pictures. I rock the fuck out. Luckily Kadavar were in top form for my banging needs. I'm not sure how many "retro rock" acts I've seen, but I'll say I enjoyed Kadavar more than Graveyard, and that you have to hear that bass and drum sound live, hot damn is that some organic old school joy. They seemed to play a nice mix from both of their records, which was nice. I hope they didn't mind the violent kids, at least.
Sabbath Jeff over and out, see you in late May at Acid Mothers Temple next, and thanks, as always, for reading.
