considering how little i listen to AMT, it's funny to me that they're the band i've seen play the most in the last decade. but their live shows are so great, i'll never pass them up. definitely going to the knoxville show in a few weeks.

Lineup appeared to be as listed above, though replace "acoustic guitar" with "bitchin' clarinet". I kinda expected them to play one 1-hr song but they played a set of songs kinda! With verses sometimes! Mokoto rubbing his guitar on his ass, holding his guitar over his head by the trem arm, swinging it wildly by the neck. Guitar hanging from the ceiling. Bass dude sings a lot. He makes chromatic shredding groove somehow!? Really liked him. Great, great show.

sadly (FOR ME) my report from the high on fire show says that you won MPLS/STPL shows this evening ;_;

Bummer, what were they like?

My full report is on the rolling metal thread but the general vibe is noodly yet boring

They fucking destroyed Chicago's Empty Bottle, last night. Brilliant from start to finish. Frenzied. Brain-flaying. Superconductive. Etc.

Very freakishly loud, though it's a loud venue to begin with. Just white noise, at a few points. You could see them playing, but it was just a wall of static.

i've been waiting for a band to end their set like that for my entire life. like not specifically two guitars hanging from the ceiling and feedbacking while the rest of the band go nuts rawkin out, but at least that sort of totally unhinged wave of noise that just grows and grows uncontrollably. these dudes understand sweet motherfucking release more than any band i've ever seen.

Been a while since we updated! Even though they pretty much still do annual tours here, so:

Even better are the California Flashback shows:

I'm only going to be able to attend the first night in SF but Christ, that's a lineup.
