FUCKING SHIT I GOT BLESSED!!! I randomly found this show trolling the venue's website for any upcoming gutter punk shows and to price tickets for a roots reggae show (the band groundation) I am going to August 30 at the same venue (observatory).. I was so surprised it wasn't sold out I didn't even remotely hesitate on buying the tickets. I completely missed this
same show last year cuz I didn't even know about this side-project and literally found about it a week too late on youtube! I downloaded the show and have been listening to it religiously for the past year, often on my way to work on the Metro.. Its hypnotic, ambient, shoegazy but metal.. Its fucking Isis with crooning as Chino from deftones....
I never in a million years thought they'd tour again, I thought it was a one time thing. By no coincidence I was just checking Palms website two weeks ago just before they announced the tour and thought it was a dead site.. Last year I missed the show because I had just saw Chino touring with Crosses in April so I totally didn't think there'd be a new project with a new record and a new tour.. I feel like this is a miraculous second chance..
Now I also see why in the Spirit I hesitated on buying the Swans tickets until it sold out, because I don't have the $ for both..
Also going to see
Lee Scratch Perry at the Santa Monica Pier August 28, its going to be an IRIE way to finish the summer season and get ready for work/university/moving to a new pad..
