What an amazing 2 weeks! The Predator screening was magical. We will be doing more live soundtracks soon. Check out what Zachary Schomburg had to say about the event!
"The Predator is obviously a really cheesy action movie--there are tons of ridiculous tongue-in-cheek moments, and plenty of laugh out loud one liners--but I really enjoyed how at most points your music actually took me away from that aspect of the flim. I was trying very hard to watch it with more of an "open mind"; this is, to watch as if I didn't know the story and didn't get the pop culture cliches and jokes. Instead I tried to make it more atmospheric. I tried to look at it as a harmony between the music and the pictures, one that would really let the music set the mood and feeling rather than any prior knowledge or gut-level cringing at Arnold and J. Ventura's acting skills. I have to say, I was successful with that, and it really helped me to explore a different level of the movie, and I had a great time doing it!"

We had two shows in Detroit, at the Lager House and the Berkley Front over the last weekend. Both were phenomenal thanks to our friends Tom and Chris filling in on guitar, bass, drums, and soundscapes, as well as the great people of Michigan. Thanks again for a great time!Much is in the works at the moment. August 22nd will be a packed afternoon and evening. At Cultiva coffee (1501 South St in Lincoln NE) we will be joining many other musicians and bands playing music in the parking lot! After a pleasant time there, we will head over to 2430 P St. (see image above) to play a house show with Daniel Striped Tiger and Ghost Towns around 7pm. More details as they arrive!

So, a few things:
...brutally exhausted from staying up way too late last night rockin' out at the chatterbox with Divider Chooser and Piasa. If you haven't gotten to a show with either of these groups, get off your bottom... please. It's well worth it.
And, as always, sticking around for the late show to see Wastoid was WELL WORTH IT. Thanks again, Lincoln's own Grandma Lightspeeeeed Metal.
Triangle Forest had some troubles in Alabama and have cancelled their tour. This is unfortunate, I hope all is well with them. You all should all try to come out to the Chatterbox because the show is still on. Huskernaut will give you more of his sorted space life story on 8 TV SCREENS! Her Flyaway Manner is rocking harder than ever. You can just see it in their faces! Man's Last Great Invention will be playing as well.
That's Friday, August 18th The Chatterbox 815 O St. 9pm, Huskernaut, Man's Last Great Invention, Her Flyaway Manner
