  • Monday Nights @ Lit Lounge

    precious metal

    If you’ve been following our activity you’ll know that we are fans of a little place called Lit Lounge in NYC. Each Monday night, Curran and Lit Lounge host Precious Metal Mondays. Always an enjoyable evening, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to spend $6 (assuming you won’t be buying beers, too, which is a silly assumption to make).

    Anyway, we were there this past Monday (7/26/10) and got to catch Empyreon, Demilitia, and Hemlock. It was a fun night as usual. Click these links and check these bands out. If you’re ever free on a Monday night, do yourself a favor and swing by Lit Lounge for a guaranteed good time.
     
    Also note that we’ve been fairly inactive in the digital world recently. Don’t be discouraged; keep checking back. Things are happening at an alarming rate.

    Notes from Lit Lounge 3.15.10

    Again Curran at Lit Lounge invited us down to Precious Metal last night. It’s true, we haven’t had a serious band practice in about a month, but we’re never the ones to turn down a good time…or a disappointing one. The way I saw it: if we aren’t able to totally wing it and give a somewhat passable performance on little to no practice, we should just quit while we are drastically far behind.
    And that is exactly the attitude we chose going into the evening.

    Lucky for you, or us, or not lucky for anyone, or I’m completely wrong, we did manage to pull something out of our asses. Something not so bad. And had a blast doing it, too. So to keep this short and sweet, thanks again to Lit Lounge, Precious Metal, Curran, and my buddy/soundman Ryan for making us sound awesome and for doling out affection.
    And if you like awesome doom/stoner rock, check out Maegashira.

    Rock rock on.

    Notes From Lit Lounge 1/11/2010

    Lit Lounge is slowly becoming a home for us. We love it as fans and we love it as a band. Curran manages to put together some awesome shows for Precious Metal Mondays. Eclectic and interesting match-ups, it’s always exciting to see and hear what’s going on over at Lit.
    This past Monday marked our second stint on Precious Metal, this time alongside Sleep To Death, Easter, and Downward Hacking Motion. All great bands and great people. Once again we are thrilled with the amount of camaraderie at Precious Metal. In our opinion, it is places like this and people like this that make music happen and allows band, fans, scenes et al to flourish.
    It was a thrill to play with all of these bands and we encourage everyone to check out all these bands and Precious metal. Thanks to Don (Easter) for taking photos. (I believe a certain person who makes delicious cookies also has some photos.) They will be up in our media section sometime soon.

    Rock rock on.
