0 SHOW PREVIEW: Akimbo, Grenades, Bitches Cystal at the Comet



I've been looking forward to this one for a while now. New Seattle band Bitches Crystal knocked my fucking socks off at a recent Josephine show. The ridiculously heavy instrumental trio features 3/4 of defunct Seattle band Patrol with Doug Lorig and Jared Burke Eglington (ex-Akimbo) on guitars, and Eric Junge behind the kit. No bass and they don't need it, though one could fantasize about how much heavier this band would be with a four stringer. Bottom line is Bitches Crystal is a bad ass new addition to Seattle's heavy scene.

Grenades are hard at work on new songs and a little birdy told me tonight that they are even cramming on some new new material for Saturday. Looking forward to the brutality as always.

Much to the delight of fans, Akimbo has been much more active in recent times. This summer they made quite a few appearances at high profile events like the SRG sponsored Noise for the Needy Festival show at Belltown Underground as well as Capitol Hill Block Party and Portland's MusicfestNW. Many young bands look up to the Seattle vets and with the way heavy scene is moving forward and becoming more popular locally, there has probably been no better time in their decade long reign to lead the pack and CRUSH Seattle.

Akimbo, Grenades, Bitches Crystal | Saturday October 15th at the Comet | 9pm | $7
