w/Ogre & Taming The Shrew WCYY-FM was live at the Alehouse that night, giving away tickets and other freebies for the upcoming Jagermeister Tour (and free Jager shots). This may account for the joint being so crowded so early in the evening, and the unfamiliarity of some of the faces – just not the usual crowd, [ More ]

Halloween w/Monique Ortiz & Jonah Sacks of Bourbon Princess Thanks so much to everyone who came to the show on Saturday. The turnout was even better than we expected and we we’re thrilled to see how many of you dressed up for the occasion. The local scene was well represented, with members of Supersoul Challenger, Ocean, Cover [ More ]

Eternally cd release show w/Big Coffin Hunters Our first time at the “new” Geno’s for our CD release party, and it was a bit surprising how clean and attractive the new digs are. (Very un-geno’s!) It was also our first time playing with Big Coffin Hunters, who really cranked up and put in a decidedly metallic [ More ]

w/Aepril Schaille, Dorian James & Dirge Carolers Despite it being rather cool outside for a July evening, inside the Skybar it was decidedly hot and stuffy. Too much so to spend a lot of time watching the openers, but prior to repairing to the chinese food joint next door we caught the beginning of Dorian James [ More ]

w/Shroud of Bereavement Sin of Angels and some death metal band Our first gig in RI and it’s in Pawtucket, a decidedly ratty-looking town near Providence that unpleasantly reminded me of where I grew up in NJ. Fortunately the club had a parking lot. The club itself was quite nice, though: a hangout bar in one [ More ]

w/Michale Graves of the Misfits, Mongrel, Jodi Explodi Our most recent performance at the Asylum was booked sort of late in the game, so turnout for the entire evening wasn’t quite what we had hoped for, but those who did come got quite a treat: First up, a last minute addition called Jodi Explodi opened the [ More ]

w/Confusatron & Vertigod Sometimes I wonder if promoters listen to even one song on our demo. Judging by who we share bills with, the answer might be no. I can see a bit of common ground with Confusatron: both they and BBA have some new-wave quirkyness and some cross-fanbase appeal. But Vertigod? Portland’s answer to Dillenger [ More ]

w/Hushed, Ransom & Soundbender Saturday night’s show at Legends in Lewiston was another smoker. Despite not being a “local” band, we managed to have a good sized crowd watching, many of whom were right up in front of the stage. Hushed, who also performed, were absolutely mesmerizing with their atmospheric material and dazzling light show. Seeing [ More ]

w/Hushed & Paynestaken Even though I’ve been there plenty of times, until last night I had never actually played at the Alehouse, so from a performer’s standpoint I didn’t quite know what to expect, the joint being so small and all. I must say that once we set up and were ready to go, that stage [ More ]

w/Covered in Bees, Taming the Shrew & B-Movie Extras Despite the brevity of our set, the No Hit Videos showcase at the Asylum was actually quite a big hit. A lot of people turned out on a Thursday and we really appreciate the effort made to make the night a special one. Covered in Bees and [ More ]

w/Now Transmission & some band from Bates College Both the club, Legends, and the city, Lewiston, were new ground for us, so the gig was sort of thought of as a paid audition on both the promoter’s part and ours: we were thrown on the bill on a low-key saturday night with some other new-to-the-scene acts. [ More ]

w/Aepril Schaille, Amber Spyglass & Lilac Ambush Our big “Dark Event” was originally slotted for January, but a blizzard swept through New England and forced a re-sceduling. The wait made it all the sweeter: a four-act, all-goth show at Geno’s. Aepril Schaille, making her debut as a chilling, piano-pounding songstress, opened up backed with drums and [ More ]

w/Shroud of Bereavement, Mongrel As the soundman was giving us last minute instructions I looked out onto a sea of black clothing and realized that this show was going to be good. I guess the rest of the band felt the same way as we played the best show of our thus far short career. Staging [ More ]
