Toti Mode Torche then a Polygraph?

Last night's show was epic! All three bands played great! I'm pooped, I haven't slept since the day before! I need rest again!

Torche / V0mp3s

This was the first show that I hosted sort of as a promoter. One of my favorite LA bands, Polygraph, played that night.

Kowloon Marriages

Good morning! The following sets were uploaded this morning for your downloading pleasure! 1st is Kowloon Walled City, a very cool band from San Francisco. That evening I told the guitarist that his band reminded me of a heavier Quicksand, low and behold he was wearing the reunion concert T-shirt under his jacket. Kowloon Walled City is an awesome band and I would recommend seeing these guys live.

Emma Ruth Rundle, Greg Burns, and David Clifford created these lush soundscapes at the Smell. I believe this would be David's last show mainly on drums and sparse guitar until the next fill in drummer. Great band to see live and they never disappoint. Marriages is opening for Boris next week Thursday at the Echoplex.

Shiner in 3D

Just kidding, as per from a previous post I learned how to make my bootlegs sound louder, thus, one of my all time favorite bands gets the treatment AGAIN! Last time, blast time!

Polygraph from December 17, 2011

Hey folks, I've been re-doing, re-vamping my boots by taking some advice from fellow friend, Morgan! Thanks, buddy! People will enjoy the audio better now. Here's a set from 2011 that needed to be released, featuring 2 songs that are on the "Time and Time Beyond" EP that was released earlier this year... Enjoy!

The Reason Is Texas

March 30th will be the 1st and last time seeing Texas Is The Reason live. It was bittersweet seeing them live at the Fonda. They played all their songs on their newly remastered reissued "Do You Know Who You Are?" So it was 14 songs total they played, minus the title track being played off an Ipad at the soundboard.

Mark this boot! This is the 1st audio boot that I learned from the expertise of Morgan Light (of the band, Magna and engineer extraordinaire) how to properly make the recording louder. It's much louder compared to my previous boots and I'm contemplating re-doing most of them. Thanks, Morgan!

March 31st was Garrett Klahn and Blair (insert lastname) played separate acoustic sets at THIS Gallery near Mount Washington. I filmed both sets as well and will try to work on that soon.

Prehistoric L 10 11

This may be the 1st ever El Ten Eleven bootleg out there, please correct me if I'm wrong. El Ten Eleven started in 2003 and on their gigography it lists this particular show as the 7th ever played.

The first time I saw El Ten Eleven was at The Casbah on September 15, 2003 when they opened for The Life And Times in which I discovered this magnificent duo. Allen Epley of The Life And Times remarks "...that they were the best band to open for them..." during that particular tour. Absolutely amazing.

NOTE: El Ten Eleven's self-titled album was released a couple years later! Thus the 1st two years of its inception the songs were still in their primordial stages and were not the final versions until the self-titled release on September 20, 2005. Enjoy these early versions!

The Thunder Bearer!

TiReD, I'm turning in... Royal Thunder kicks ass! MLNY Parsonz reminds me of Janis Joplin--amazing! Royal Thunder / V0mp3s Pallbearer was brutally loud, they were thunderous! Great set and plus a new song from their forthcoming release! Pallbearer / V0mp3s

IntroMeshLeaders

Well, I must say this has been a pretty fast turnaround for me to do 3 sets from 1 nite the day after. But it is a momentous occasion for all bands and parties involved, but especially to have Intronaut open for 2 great bands to support this huge bill of Juggernauts. I must say, I am extremely happy for Los Angeles's own, Intronaut, to be given this grand opportunity. I'd have to say the attendees were very well receptive of them. All members of Intronaut are stand up guys on their own, but when they form Intronaut, they vanquish and lay their enemies to waste. It was great listening to the new songs that are featured on their forthcoming release on Century Media Records -- "Milk Leg" and "The Welding" live was absolutely magnificent! Looking forward to Habitual Levitations release on March 19th (in the US and 18th in Europe). Plus, the boys tell me that they will be headlining their first tour in Europe with greats, Castle and Atlas Moth. Congratulations, Intronaut!

Without further adieu, here is March 2nd, 2013 Intronaut set:

The next 3 links are older shows, but since it's Intronaut, might as well add them here as well:

Another Animals As Leaders set? YES! Most of half their set consisted of songs from "Weightless" including the title track. It was great seeing these LA transplants once again. Love the guitar wizardry of Tosin! Unbelievable skill on the 8 string! My project, The Sighentists, is an attempt at playing the 8 string but not nearly as proficient as Tosin. Keep up the good work Javier, Tosin, and Matt (?, is that the new drummer's name, right? HE was the show stopper for me that evening!

March 2nd, Animals As Leaders!

A stunning set from Swedish djenters, Meshuggah, and a long one I might add to that. Danny Walker (Drummer for Intronaut) briefly remarked that Meshuggah were playing an hour and 45 minute set on this tour. He was right! What a long set, amazing! This band is always doing something really innovative when it comes to time, just baffles me as a musician. All their songs are head nodders to headbangers!

Enjoy this set!
