I'm friends with guitarist from OBTS, just sent him this ...it made his day.
Heading over to their practice spot tonight as we might be sharing a spot with them. Our current place is absolutely the best possible place in the world to practice, but we were kind of temporary until the owner could find someone to rent the studio for a lot more money.
Yeah I found out I have a acquaintance whose a welder there, ask him and he said just piss. I'm golden, pun intended
Was told we were to be loaded in by 6. Busted ass to get here so soon, arrived at 5:30. I'm literally the only soul here. Door's locked. Ah...just like the bad old days....
At least our gig poster's in the window.

Awesome! I dig post rock but always wish there was more guitar which is like the oxymoron of post rock. I guess I was actually craving math rock the whole time but didn't know what it was called LOL. I just caught your post while I was youtubing away math rock actually.
Massive Locals gig tonight! Low Gravity, Blighter, In the Company of Serpents, and us. Denver bound in just a bit. Restocking meds and fueling up!
Ashly makes very good gear and it's reasonably priced. Is that a rackmount piece? Which one?
Its the SC-50 that was in the classifieds earlier this week. Swapped a pedal for it.
Man that Jamman Express Xt is sweet, super simple like a Ditto. I think I prefer the Jamman as it is a little easier to start the loop like you can start record and then start playing without looping the pause between starting it, like auto record or something. And 30 bucks cheaper than the Ditto, wish it had one of those clickless switch like on the Ditto though, but not the end of the world and still prefer the Jamman over the Ditto. Plus the whole jamsync thing too, makes me want to get another and sync a bass rig and a guitar rig up so I can sync them. Hmmm, I wonder if I got set one up to a drum machine.
Hey that's my band! Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoy it. I've never really thought of us as Math-anything, most of the grooves are in 4/4 or 3/4. There are some really small polyrhythms we've worked on, most noticable is 5/4 against 4/4 on some new tracks, but throw whatever label you want on it, I don't really mind. We usually advertise ourselves in a prog rock label, though Travis (our guitarist) named it "wizard rock" haha. Which is fair. The guy is a wizard at riffs.
We all are fairly solid players, but we'd rather focus on "unique" (whatever that means) ways of writing rather than shredding and such. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GROOVE MAN. THE GROOVE. Call it whatever you want, and thanks for the promotion as well! Some good genres to check out are your basic progressive rock (there's a lot of King Crimson and the Mars Volta in it) and maybe a bit of post-metal (we all love Russian Circles and are going to their show in Boise next month too).
