Old and new 3
Tonight I'm going to a concert at the House of Blues that kind of fits this old and new thing I've been doing.
Headlining is Venom. I'm no Alex Trebek, but it's my impression that this Newcastle trio introduced the lowest-fi prouction and evil imagery way back in 1980, launching the genre known as black metal. They even have a song of the same title. After the three albums or so, even the hardest core fans had to admit they sucked. But the latest album is supposed to be good, and they hardly come to the States. The last time might have been in the '80s.
The opener is High on Fire, a comparitively new Oakland band that mixes an acute awaress of metal with a strong punk rock m.o. They get in the van, play bars, and work it. I'm pretty sure one of the members is in the Melvins!
Can't think of a better way to start the weekend...

Nope. Still ringing in quiet rooms.
