What is that awesome avatar of a whale vomiting?

Yeah. A whale vomiting in space.. some also refer to it as the eagle nebula.

Edit: Wow, something tells me I'm too woozy to be posting online right now. lol

From Futurama...aka the best show in the world...

 

[Awesomenaut]

Yep we know those guys.

Are they still playing? They're pretty much my favorite band, and usually they come through once a year, but it's been a while since I've seen them on the road.

I know that some of the guys have some side projects going on. I'm not really sure if they're still together. They haven't played in a while. I'm going to see Lightning Bolt Sunday night I'm sure I'll run into someone. I'll find out.

Hey all.

Best damn hard rock I've heard in a long, long time.

aaron Beam SLEIGHS on bass. Seriously tasteful stuff.

Thanks guys!

rratajski, +1 on the drummer, you guys (and lady) sound great!

I was checking out your the facebooks page and saw your guitarist playing what looked like an 8-string... do my eyes deceive me? any thoughts on it? I imagine it being cool for drones and unisons, though i can also imagine it getting in the way of a your bass magic. Do you know how he tunes that beast?

Matt Pike uses/used a *9 String First Act* not sure of the brand.

Matt Pike uses/used a *9 String ?Hagstrom? not sure of the brand.

It's a First Act. The one I saw anyway.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Yeah Pike loves his custom First Acts.

 

[thombo]

Pike plays a 9-string is a First Act. If tuned in standard tuning, hi E, B, & G are doubled (like a 12 string), while the D, A, & low E are single. rratajski's guitarist plays an 8-string like w/out doubled sting- F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E like guitarists in Meshuggah.

back to rehearsing, getting ready to go back to the studio in June for the next Monobrow album. Really looking forward to that.

Whoa! Any rough tracks you care to leak? any hint on when we can expect it?

 

[bassboysam]

Not sure when we will release it, we just released the vinyl edition of the first album so we need to try and get some of those sold first. It's hard enough to get people to buy 1 record much less 2. But we'll see how it goes, the sooner we can reduce our stock the sooner we can add some new stock.

Ill post some of the takes from the studio sessions once we get them.

 

[bassboysam]

Anyone get a copy of Clutch's Blast Tyrant reissue? Still waiting on mine, it feels like 2004 all over again.

the new Young Widows was the soundtrack for the weekend... EPIC!!! It's heavier and darker but less metal (however that works). hit it, it's sick!!!
