2008, where's the beef?

Most music I've gotten into this year was made by groups that no longer exist. I got into Pentagram as well as a group called Flower Travellin' Band. It's very hard for me to find new current bands that I actually enjoy. Here is one that blew me away just recently. The Sword. They are total Conan/sword and sorcery metal in the best way. Just dig on this video.

Even if you don't enjoy metal music you can't deny the video is awesome.

Another current band that finally grabbed my attention is the Eagles of Death Metal. Their album "Death By Sexy" is pretty damn good. Their new one "Heart On" isn't as good, but maybe it needs to grow on me a little more. There just aren't any songs on it that smoke like "Cherry Cola" from Death by Sexy.


So there. Two current bands that I could actually go see play somewhere, if I had money to spend on shit like that.

As for local groups, I would go see the Muggs any day of the week. Universal Temple of Divine Power is awesome.

This place looks scary.

My friend Jeremy said someone should make a movie here. I can't believe the place is just sitting out there though I'm sure once the photos get around the place will be picked clean. I'm listening to these dudes and these folks today. They are both pretty rockin'. I saw this the other day and it freaked me out. I'm going to see this tomorrow night. Should be fun. Tonight I'm going to do my best impression of these guys.
