Just a quick update for the handful of you that are not in our mighty band of failures. First off, we would like to thank the folks at Mount Elgon Productions, Head Hits Concrete, Haggatha, and Tu Sufres for allowing us the pleasure and honour of sharing the stage with them a couple of weeks ago. We've been spoiled with a number of great opportunities to play with some seriously incredible bands from Winnipeg and afar. On that note, big thanks to Sarah and Brandon (other roommates who I may not know of) for throwing a pretty fucking killer after party. Its a pretty special feeling to see the majority of the performing sitting around sharing stories, drinks, and the occasional smoke.
All of the bands were fabulous. Tu Sufres loves grindcore, and the people love Tu Sufres! I was unable to catch most of their set, but what I did manage to hear and see was brilliant. Heck, they even have a song called "Deaden + Forest + Mushrooms = Sauteed". Pretty damn funny and entirely too accurate. They laid down about 10 more tracks after that opener in about 15 minutes. Fast, brutal, and committed.
Next up was East Van's HAGGATHA. Once again, absolutely crushing. This time coupled with the sound of the albert they were somthing special. They played a different set from the last time they were in, it was noticeably quicker in pace for the first few songs and then slowed right on down. More ceiling fell from the skies, I like to think its from the intensity rather than their sheer volume, but its likely both!
Winnipeg grind legends HEAD HITS CONCRETE capped off the night. I'm not even sure how to comment on their set. It was inspiring, mind blowing in that techy kind of way, and laden with an emotional fierceness that I have not personally felt in a really long time. What a great band to catch before jumping in to our next step..
segue!
Deaden is recharging the battery for the next little while and then we're going to be spending a long time in the jam space writing some new material. We're not sure when you will hear from us again, but we can promise you fine folks that if/when you do that we will have some new tunes for you. We're all really excited to get to jamming again, working on some new stuff and getting back in to the rhythm of things.
We've fiiiiinally got the black mould demo cassette up on the interwebs. Its a free download, please do listen and enjoy!
