The Cold Cold Ground

(Set Time = 11:10PM - Grotto Stage)

The Cold Cold Ground is: Danny Kalan: Bass, Joel Boten: Vocals, Casey Wesels: Drums, Zan Ferguson: Guitar, Ben Applegate: Keys

The Cold Cold Ground is a lively five piece rock and roll act from right here in Seattle. Heavily touted by festival co-conspirator Andrew Chapman, the band brings to the table an energetic live rock show boasting a throwback sound that relies strongly on punk rock and rockabilly sensibilities. Add some well-placed synthesized organ and raspy delivery of singer Joel Boten; you have something that falls somewhere between Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Bad Seeds and The Cramps.

The Cold Cold Ground has been playing shows in Seattle for over a year sharing stages with festival comrades Warning:Danger! as well as frequently with Andrew’s band The Keeper. They have also been featured on both of Algerbay Records’ “Your Village Sucks!” compilations, this time around contributing an exclusive newly recorded track to “Your Village Sucks, Too!” available this Saturday at the festival. Look for The Cold Cold Ground to heat up the Grotto early on with soulful energy, and their red hot brand of spirited rock.

Mico De Noche

(Set Time: 11:40PM - Jewelbox Theater Stage)

Mico De Noche is: Donovan Stewart: Vocals, Guitar, Chad Baker: Bass, Michael Crum: Vocals, Guitar, Reno Dave: Drums

Metallic heavy metal wrecking crew Mico De Noche has been jarring brains out of their skulls locally since 2001. Over the years they opened for such bands like High on Fire, Jucifer, and Big Business. Further down tuning their sound all the while becoming a highly respected, monstrously sludgey favorite on the Seattle metal circuit.

In 2009, Mico was featured on the b-side of a mighty 10”split opposite Tad Doyle’s Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. The crushing track “Ganges” in particular, elevated their status as four musicians that can and will shake you right out of your boots with sonic mind numbing power.

In 2010, Mico De Noche sits with 4 releases under their belt and easily their most anticipated record on its way. Word on the street is that some initial promos have been released and the response to the new material has been a resounding two horns up. If it’s a good metal bludgeoning you are looking for, Mico De Noche will be surely oblige your request.

Vultures 2012

(Set Time: 12:30AM - Jewelbox Theater Stage)

Vultures 2012 is: Jeremy Lawless: Guitar/Vox, Donny Even: Guitar/Backing Vox, Chico King: Bass, Tony Rodriguez: Drums

Initially brought to my attention by Your Village Sucks! Fest mastermind Andrew Chapman prior to their Audioasis benefit appearance back in December of 2009, Vultures 2012 has earned steady rotation and quite a bit of local praise due to their massive hybrid of crust punk, death and stoner metal. Vultures 2012 possess all the elements of an extremely heavy metal band, and these former and current members of Flamethrower, Murdock and Hearseburner certainly lather it on thick.

Their dense and devastating sound has propelled them relatively quickly to the top of the local metal food chain, having even been featured live on Hannah Levin hosted KEXP radio shows twice. She’s a fan, Andrew’s fan, and I’m a fan -- what else do you need?

Vultures have been working in the studio laying down tracks for their debut full length, and their Conrad Uno produced 4-track demo EP s available on Amazon.com. Now is the time to catch these guys in an intimate setting as they fill the headlining slot of our little festival. Before they join the big boys of the metal world, a level they certainly have the chops to reach.

0 [VIDEO] Dog Shredder @ Comet Tavern (5/6/10)

Words by Nik Christofferson

Let me just preempt today’s Your Village Sucks! Fest coverage for a moment to bring you a quick video of the mighty Dog Shredder from last night’s show at the Comet Tavern. The Bellingham trio started making waves locally in 2009 by basically sucker punching unsuspecting local metal fans with blinding speed and substantial rhythms. Even I was left slack jawed and dazed the first time I saw their Molotov cocktail of prog-infused speed metal. In Dog Shredder, ex-BENt guitarist Josh Holland has mastered a frenzied and unrelenting style of playing, and with unbridled intensity and certifiable chops he brings something very unique to the table. Not to mention he is ably backed by rhythm section Jeff Johnson and Noah Burns, who not only maintain the rapid pace but skillfully lay down some rolling thunder of their own. Last night Dog Shredder once again defied typical metal logic, puréeing my brain with unadulterated talent, and pure fucking adrenaline.

I snagged a tour EP which includes two of the Shredder’s newly recorded tracks -- "Boss Rhino" and "Heart of the Sunrise", both which should appear on their debut record due later this year. For those interested in how DS’s sporadic and sometimes off putting vocals turned out in the studio. You should be pleasantly surprised to hear they have become much more realized after a little studio time and magic. Just take my word for it.

Warning:Danger!

(Set Time: 11:50PM - Grotto)

Warning:Danger! is: Mark Ostler: Vocals, Brooker Bauer: Guitar, James Gardner: Bass, Mike Correa: Drums

What’s the deal with these crazy guys in the orange reflective vests and hardhats you ask? Well, let me just enlightened to the creative world of Warning:Danger!, the greatest safety-themed punk rock band ever to step on a stage. Actually, they are probably the one and only safety-theme punk rock act ever to exist, which really makes them all the more a must see this Saturday.

What started as an idea for a short film a few years ago soon morphed into one of the most entertaining and truly original band ideas of all time, the shtick to end all shticks if you will. With songs about everything from the horror of killer bees and sharks to crazy ex-girl friends and STD’s, their sermon-like cautionary tales are delivered by frontman Mark Ostler over top speedy hardcore punk riffs and meaty rhythms. Warning:Danger! have proved time and time again to be much more than costumes and construction tape, as they consistently blister eardrums while simultaneously sneaking smiles on unsuspecting faces.

Having released an excellent self-titled full-length, played numerous shows as part of top-notch billings, and just recently wrapped shooting their first music video, Warning:Danger! come to Your Village Sucks! Fest primed to add to their already strong legion of fans. Just four more words to add: Watch out for Godzilla!

THRONE OF BONE

Set Time: 10:15pm on Jewelbox Theater Stage

Throne of Bone is: Michael Freiburger: Vocals, Josh Patten: Guitar,

Billy Hamilton: Bass, Jeffery Posso: Drums

While boasting a rip-roaring blackened thrash guitar attack, beastly rhythm section, and a guttural black metal-style vocal delivery, not to mention tirelessly playing shows, sometimes a few a week. Seattle’s Throne of Bone have made a name for themselves relatively quickly as a local metal band to watch, and certainly a must see live act as well.

Last Sunday they opened for Red Fang at the Funhouse. Black hooded vocalist Michael Freiburger took to the floor with his signature bone chiseled microphone in hand. The exuberant frontman reared the crowd with dramatic showmanship, wicked screams, and a reasonable amount of microphone overspray. The trio of musicians on stage provided the torrid metal backdrop Throne of Bone has become known for, while guitarist Josh Patten at one point even burned through not one but two guitar strings during some particularly fierce riffage. Throne of Bone are real "charmers", and even though tongue-in-cheek metal clichés’ are at an all time high, I agree wholeheartedly with Your Village Sucks! Fest co-conspirator Hannah Levin -- "Bone is easily one of the most compelling metal bands playing in this city right now."

Words and Interview by Nik Christofferson

YOUR VILLAGE SUCKS! FEST Preview:

MADRASO

Set Time: 10:25pm in Grotto

Madraso is: Jeremy Curles: Vocal/Guitar, Chris Jager: Drums, Doug Owen: Bass

I caught Madraso’s blistering live show for the first time at the Brothers of the Sonic Cloth / Mico De Noche split LP release back in 2009. You could say I was a little late to the party being that band had existed since 2006, but none-the-less the crushing magnitude of their jagged hardcore infused noise rock made me a fan instantly. My initial thought during that first of now many Madraso experiences was pretty much, “Amp Rep eat your fucking heart out, this band destroys.” Madraso’s singer and guitarist Jeremy Curles played with chaotic fury, while drummer Chris Jager and bassist Doug Owen laid down the massive foundation on killer cuts such as “Daisy Cutter” from their debut full length “Van Horne”. This is an “unfuckwitable” power trio, and are easily one of premier bands currently at large in Seattle’s heavy music scene. The moral of the story here is Madraso owns, you must seek this band and they will destroy you. Frontman Jeremy Curles was cool enough to answer some of my lame ass questions via email, thanks for being a good sport man and we’ll have to do this proper some other time!

See Madraso TONIGHT as part of an excellent bill at Comet Tavern with Sandrider, Salvador (PDX), and Valis. DO NOT MISS Madraso as part of the Algerbay / Rocket Queen / SRG sponsored YOUR VILLAGE SUCKS! FEST, May 8th @ Rendezvous. Get Your Tickets Now!

Here’s our chat:

Nik: Where did name “Madraso” come from? How about “Van Horne” for that matter?

Jeremy: Madraso is Spanish slang for either: 1. bitch slap or sucker punch. 2. It also is a saying you would use if you hit yourself in the head or something. Van Horne is the last name of a few friends of ours (Brad and Brian) we like their last name and they are great guys.

Nik: Speaking of “Van Horne”, it’s a damn fine record, what was the recording process like for you guys?

Jeremy: it was nice. We tracked with Justin Weis at Trakworx studios in SF. All takes were done live and went to 2" so it was a nice fit when it came time to release it on vinyl.

Nik: Who or what are Madraso’s musical influences?

Jeremy: Tough question. There are a lot of things outside of music that influences this band. As far as bands go, there are some common "influences", but the musical tastes of the members varies quite a bit.

Nik: Lyrically are any there any reoccurring themes and/or ideas that come up more than others in Madraso songs.

Jeremy: You can throw a dog in the oven, but it doesn't make it a biscuit.



Nik: Who writes the music and/or lyrics for Madraso?

Jeremy: The band writes the music. I writes the lyrics, they usually happen after the fact and tend to be constructed around the music.

Nik: Who are you favorite bands to play with-- locally or otherwise?


Jeremy: Hmmm.... locally, we really like doing shows with the Ruby Doe, Brothers of The Sonic Cloth, Black Elk and Mico De Noche. Not only are those all exceptional bands, but they are good friends and make playing shows even more fun. Non-local, check out the Rye Wolves and Kowloon Walled City. Both kill it.

Nik: What is your favorite part about playing live?

Jeremy: The live experience. Taking songs that were written in a small cold basement and playing them in front of a small cold crowd.

Nik: What are your thoughts on the state of our current local music scene? Positives? Negatives?


Jeremy: It could use a better sense of camaraderie I guess. There are a lot transplants these days, and that sometimes gives a disjointed feeling to the whole thing. I remember growing up here myself and even though I was too young to go to a lot of "good shows" I do remember it being a bit more cohesive.

Nik: If you had the chance to open for one band past or present over all others, who would it be?

Jeremy: Loaded Question. Jager: Keelhaul. -- Jeremy: Burning Witch. -- Doug: The Jesus Lizard. But, Above all, we all agree on: Michael Jackson.

2 [LIVE REVIEW] Soundgarden @ Showbox at the Market

Words by Nik Christofferson

Alright I’ve had a couple days now to finally digest the magnitude and whirlwind of what happened this past Friday. Living in a city like this has its many perks and privileges when it comes to music I suppose. Sometimes you can become a little jaded to the fact that we do get our fare share of excellent shows, especially ones that involve the local musicians who were so hugely important while growing up in the 90’s. With this in mind, never in my life would I have guessed that I would have had the opportunity to see such a historic moment as was the reunited SOUNDGARDEN playing their first show in 13 years in front of give or take 1200 people at Showbox. Since 1997 was a couple years before I started going to shows on a consistent basis. I have long thought I had missed my chance, even with the four members alive and well.

The marquee of the Showbox read NUDEDRAGONS SOLD OUT, and the atmosphere both inside and out was electric. The positive energy was beyond powerful, and the minute the silhouettes of Chris, Kim, Ben, and Matt walked onto the dark stage around 10pm it was pandemonium. I was literally freaking out like those people you see in old Michael Jackson concert footage save the crying and fainting of course. Chris with his now shoulder length hair, strapped on a guitar, and belted the opening number “Spoonman”, with Kim, Matt and Ben laying the thunder behind him. A mighty version of “Gun” was next and then the triumphant “Searching with My Good Eye Closed”. Seeing that song in particular was breathtaking and a sure highlight, as it has always been a favorite. It also cleared Cornell of all his recent solo career offenses, even though I had been quite vocal about my disappointment following his despicable plunge into mainstream pop music. I humbly recant because Chris is back at home, at least for the time being. His voice was really strong the entire night, and he destroyed the high notes on “Flower” with ease. Having seen the man with Audioslave and solo a number of times, I’ve never heard him actually attempt the type of falsetto vocal acrobatics contained on Soundgarden’s earlier material and with only a slight echo on his mic it was pretty much mind blowing.

The band kept crowd interaction to a minimum, Chris joked a bit but overall it was all business as the guys barely even acknowledged each other beyond a few quick smirks. The combo of “Hunted Down” and “Nothing to Say” was a surprise highlight, first reason being the Record Store Day re-release of Soundgarden’s very first 7” on Sub Pop scheduled for the next day (Kim had to remind Chris of that point). Second being they were 2 of the 3 songs played during last year’s amazing Tadgarden surprise. Thirdly they were so off the charts massive. On both of the 7” single tracks along with “Loud Love” in particular, Ben Shepherd was badass. He obviously knew how monstrous his bass sound was by the “don’t fuck with this” look on his face. Matt Cameron just flat out did his thing. His non-flashy workhorse style never ever wavers, and it was amazing to have seen him playing with his old band while of course not even breaking a sweat. Matt’s talents never cease to amaze, and I’m sure Eddie, who was rumored to be in attendance along with Stone, Mike and Jeff was very proud.

Next came two numbers from the “Down on the Upside” record. Chris rallied full participation while holding the mic stand out over the crowd at the end of “Blow Up the Outside World”, and the chant had to have been heard out on the street. “Pretty Noose” sounded great as well but was probably the only shaky number of the night.

Kim Thayil who hid under a beanie with his famous frazzled locks protruding out the back was on fire, especially after the sound guy finally honed in right around “Rusty Cage”. “Outshined” was met with fists and metal horns a plenty, but “Slaves and Bulldozers” was the heaviest song of the evening. Once again Ben maimed eardrums, but Kim laid down some of the thickest riffs known to man. A brief encore came and went, and then a couple more killer Louder Than Love tunes-- “Big Dumb Sex” and “Get on the Snake” made an appearance. The show ended with a massive cover of the Doors’ “Waiting for the Sun”, and the band just walked off stage.

As you can see from the set list, they included quite a few early cuts. The inclusion of “Beyond the Wheel” off Ultramega OK briefly took me for a loop early on. Overall, it was a great mix that hit every release at least once, and I’m happy they left off “Black Hole Sun”. A couple songs I was hoping for that didn’t make the cut included: “Fresh Tendrils”, “My Wave”, “Somewhere”, and “Hands All Over”, but who’s complaining. I’m not sure if I can actually express in words what the teenager in me was feeling finally hearing “Searching With My Good Eye Closed”, “Outshined”, “Loud Love”, and “Fell on Black Days” for real as opposed to a Chris Cornell solo or Audioslave cover version. At just under 30 years of age and having seen some truly amazing shows over the last 10+ years, all I can think is man I just saw something that is beyond description, beyond writing a stupid review for a blog, beyond anything that I had planned for my life even. I stood there following the show wide eyed in amazement, beaten, battered, ears ringing and fatigued but probably as happy as I have ever been. I basically still can’t believe that it happened and on such short notice. A week ago if you would have told me I would be part of the lucky group who just saw SOUNDGARDEN in Seattle at the Showbox in 2010. I’d say you were fucking high. Somebody pinch me already…

A sincere thank you to the folks who were involved in myself being at the right place at the right time when it came down to GO time, you know who you are. I also hope I was personally able to guide a few folks towards their tickets as well.

0 [FROM THE CRATES #21] Kill Sadie - Experiments in Expectation (2001)

Words by Matt Abramson

Kill Sadie – Experiments in Expectation
(2001 Dim Mak Records)

"Emo" is a pretty touchy word for a lot of folks. Legend has it that it was first used at a Fugazi concert, and it went on to represent exactly what Fugazi did - the next evolution of punk rock. Punk rock with more careful musicianship, more light and shade but the same ferocity and the same DIY ethic. Somewhere during the late 1990's Dashboard Confessional, who were a shitty band with horrible music and stupid fans, got tagged as "emo" and it was all downhill from there. Now when someone utters the word "emo", one imagines some tween wearing purple skinny jeans and a Twilight t-shirt (because an obsession with vampire cheesemo isn't exclusive to fat chicks, you know, the only sizes that Twilight shirts come in are XS and 4XL) with a ridiculous haircut listening to Circa Survive. It's fucking shameful.

That aside, there are a handful of albums that I still proudly call emo. 'Experiments in Expectation' is one of them. Kill Sadie was a short-lived yet highly influential band with roots in Minneapolis who ended up in Seattle. As things things often go, they have a pretty concise discography and imploded into several other bands. Most notably, Steve Snere went on to sing in These Arms Are Snakes and Erin Tate ended up in Minus The Bear, both are fantastic bands that need no introduction. It's such widespread influence that makes the album instantly familiar.

Photo courtesy: ©2009 Palmer Sather

I must say that even though I am predominately a metal and punk fan, and mainly choose to focus on harder edged music on SRG. I have a huge soft spot for a few local bands outside that realm that have not only made timeless records in recent times, but continue to amaze me live in concert. It's also not often you are in the right place at the right time, like in the case of the Moondoggies. I can say with certiantly that I was actually there from the beginning. Thanks to some ties from high school I was one of only a handful of witnesses to the Moondoggies' humble beginnings at multiple of those now legendary Blue Moon shows. The rest is an awesome story of record deals, sold out shows, local festival appearences, critical acclaim, and now a US Tour that I am thrilled to have been apart of thus far.

The saga of the Moondoggies only gets better as today the Bonnaroo Festival announced its Cafe Stage lineup, and guess who will be on the farm this June? Our very own Moondoggies!! Congratulations guys, such great news!! See for yourself here.

2 [NW NOISE #1] REQUIN (Seattle)

NW Noise by Nik Christofferson

Much like the feeling of stumbling upon a rare gem while sifting through crates of used vinyl at your local indie record shop, brand new projects or not, the accidental discovery of a killer local band can give that exact same feeling of triumph. Therefore I am driven to share my finds with you in this brand new weekly SRG column deemed, "NW NOISE". This column will aim to champion and profile Seattle bands that you should know, and eventually branch off to hit upon bands that call our neighboring NW regions (i.e. PDX, Vancouver B.C.) home as well. Hope you dig!

REQUIN (pronounced "wreck-WAH") came to my attention by pure luck and by basically being in the right place at the right time. It turned out staying for the late night entertainment in the El Corazon lounge following the crushing Narrows performance back on January 22nd was an excellent decision. Yeah, REQUIN isn't a brand new project, and yes it's true they've been apart of a number of excellently billed shows around town in recent times. Even with this known quantity they are still currently residing in modest obscurity after two years as a band, and deserve your full attention.

I was immediately taken by REQUIN’s no-bullshit take on the time honored art of hardcore music. The band was no holds barred, undeniably musical, and with impunity and aggression pretty much lived up to the demeanor of their great white, razor toothed namesake ala Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick”. It also didn't hurt that local jack-of-all-trades Aaron Edge was holding down bass duties either. The set was short but also punishing, as you will see from the video below.

This is a video from that El Corazon performance (1/22/10):

Many bands exist only to write and play the heavy, aggressive music that they want to hear, and according to vocalist Wolfgang "Erik" Ratzlaff-- REQUIN is just such a band. REQUIN make heavy music purely because they love it, and it just so happens they also do it very well.

Here is everything I dug up to help you become acquainted with this weeks spotlighted band-- REQUIN, and I highly recommend making it a point to check out their next Seattle show, March 16th at The Morgue in Georgetown.

Info:

Ex and current members of: Aphiskkyu-Bot, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Grievous, Iamthethorn, the Mark Sparkles, Oops I Stepped in Some Christ, People We Hate, Shit Gets Smashed, Tsuga, 976-Murder

Members:

Wolfgang: throat & communication / Pamela: guitar & knocking things over / Ben: kit & other throat / Aaron: low end & art

History:

Wolfgang recounts the story of REQUIN's origins:

"The band started in April of 2008, and is a pretty typical incestuous Seattle band story. Pam and I previously played in a band called Aphiskkyu-Bot. After the band broke up we wanted to play with our old friend Ben (who was actually the original singer in Aphiskkyu-Bot). We knew we wanted to play similar music to what they had already been playing, (the technical kind of hardcore we grew up on), but wanted to streamline it a little and make it more direct and aggressive.

At the same time, Aaron Edge (Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, ex-IAMTHETHORN, ex-Grievous, ex-Himsa) asked me to start a recording project where he would play all the instruments and I was recruited to do vocals. As it went down, the night I went down to Aaron's practice space to listen to what he was working on, Pam and Ben were practicing 2 spaces down the hall, writing the 2 songs that would eventually be on the 7" (which is available now at REQUIN shows). As it goes I told Aaron I was heading down the hall, and he asked if he could come listen. He dug what he heard and asked if he could play bass, thus REQUIN was born. "

Discography:
