shentov! You lucky lucky bad-ass you! How have you been? I have been curious as to what you have been up to lately!
I was lucky lucky lucky enough to be graced with a shellac show at a club literally 30 steps from my front door last year. They played Houston for the first time ever. Don;t know why, but they did. It was AMAZING.
Fuck was it amazing. I took like 5 people with me o hear their ears get blasted out their assholes. It was so fucking good
so HEAVY so loud so tight. Watch Todd Trainer on drums, he is a fucking MONSTER. amazing amazing drummer. your balls will quiver.
Steve Albini and Bob Weston wear their guitars on belts around their waist. Albini has been doing this since the Big Black days, I think to take strain off his back. They will fucking blow you away. they do not say much between songs but ussually Bob Weston will ask questions of the crowd or take questions from the crowd.
My friend at the Houston show asked "Why did you come to Houston?" and Albini laughed and Bob said "we just heard about it" o r something to that effect, which was very funny.
steve will ussually be selling shellac t-shirts (the one I bought was like an old gym class style shirt.) after the show and you can talk to him. he is a very nice guy, but he does not like the stupid shit.
Oh man I am so jealous. I never ever thought I would get to see shellac live and when it happened it was amazing. brutal. best of luck my sonic friend.
