Is anyone within the sound of my voice going to be in Asheville, North Carolina to see Corrosion Of Conformity on Friday night?
I am.
If you are, it would be awesome if you wanted to take the opportunity to buy me a drink.
If you live within, let's say, 500 nautical miles of Asheville, North Carolina (I live 201 miles, I just checked) you should be at this show. It's fucking Woody Weatherman, Mike Dean, and Reed Mullin...duh. None of the southern rock C.O.C., just the outrageously righteous Animosity era C.O.C. You remember them, thee greatest band to ever come out of North Carolina (and I'm including all the wonderful bands I was in as well here folks, not to mention Buzzov*en, Archers Of Loaf, Antiseen, Blownapart Bastards, Polvo, Pipe, Raymond Brake, Stillborn Christians, Geezer Lake, Naked Angels, Catharsis, Superchunk, James Taylor, Flat Duo Jets, Southern Culture On The Skids, Connells, Let's Active, Soda Can, Picasso Trigger, Squatweiler, No Labels, Bloodmobile, Ben Folds Five, Squirrel Nut Zippers, John Coltrane [for real, he's from NC, look it up. So is Thelonious Monk for that matter. Shit, Maz Roach was too, even Dizzy Gillespie went to school there...NC is ballz deep in that ole jazz bull], Hellbender, Motocastor, Rights Reserved, Whiskeytown, Small, Regraped, Shiny Beast...alright...I'm running out of steam), and one of the top five greatest hardcore bands of all mother-fuckin' time? Those guys?
Yeah.
Let me know if you're going.
An eye for an eye will justify murder by the state!
Looking forward to seeing C.O.C. here in Austin, Tex-ass.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I just stumbled on your most excellent blog for the first time today, & I happen to be a NC native, though not living there currently. Dude! Way to represent the home state! You brought back a ton of memories w/the Geezer Lake/Buzzoven/Antiseen name drops! I was an angsty adolescent involved w/my local Charlotte "scene" right around the time those guys were doing their thing. Thanks for bringing back some great memories! Will definitely bookmark your blog & visit often! -M
