RANDOM NOTES




Expo 70 pics from Germ books in Philly a few months back
snowed in post holiday listening to tunes.

-I remember this show in DEC 2001 at the Balcony Bar in Philly. Worse club ever. Sound system sucked, no air, tiny and crowded. It wasn't really a proper club but actually an upstairs bar at a bigger room where they did after parties and small shows. Anyway one night post Clutch gig Electric Wizard played. Single band on the show for like $5 started at about 1pm. they had just flown in from the UK and were pretty much a mess sonically, tuning mess, gear screw-ups. Was funny shit actually enjoyed it a good bit. just uploaded it here complete set sort of sounds rough tough http://www.archivecd.com/image/electric%20wizard%2012.5.01%20philly.mp3 lots of rowdy crowd folks chime on when they stop playing after like a 30min set.

-High On Fire incredibly formidable band. I stopped seeing them live once they started playing bigger rooms with pat downs at the door.. awesome band though all the same.
