Matador's finest psych/metal/groove-meisters, Dead Meadow, played a smashing set at Bowery Ballroom this past Wednesday in support of their upcoming album, Old Growth (which streets on February 5). Minds, they were blown. More distortion pedals that you could shake a stick at. Flannel; moustaches; sweet, sweet grooves: the airbrushed-van-and-skull-bong vibe was in full effect. Needless to say, the venue smelled like a Rastafarian wedding.
In the spirit of true heaviness, the band employed not one but two--count 'em two--Orange Music Electronic Company stacks.
The Orange stack brings the heavy (as evidenced by the name of their Thunderverb amplifier head), and its presence on stage is always cause for celebration. (Check out the FULL PHOTO SET at Flickr.) (Redboy got some [depressingly superior] shots as well.)
In totally unrelated news, the full Coachella lineup has been announced. No My Bloody Valentine. No Radiohead. Yes Jack Johnson. Yes Slightly Stoopid. Yes Roger Waters doing Dark Side of the Moon without the other members of Pink Floyd. Most pathetic festival lineup of all time? If not, it's certainly on the short list.
