Sat. morning I did some research in the Austin Chronicle and saw a 4-star rating on this Sludge Metal band from Virginia. After meeting with friends at the East Side Drive In. I broke off and headed to the Scoot Inn for some Metal abuse.
Cough had a wall of speakers, and I moseyed up front-center (no ear plugs) to get the full effect. With the green background and wall of sound, it was like I had to fight a gust of wind to keep from getting blown away. Once my ears adjusted, the pain was bearable and it was a truly amazing experience.
The drummer beat the hell out of the drums, and after the show I told him I would upload this to YouTube so here it is, Joey. 30 minute set, and I caught this whole song. I recommend you listen to this loud with some good headphones to get the full effect.
This was truly a cool SXSW experience.
