The Taste of Silver

WOOOOO!!!

DOOMriders across the street all ages

Ha !

this is gonna be good i cant wait for it!

I checked out DoomRiders, and i must admit i was impressed...impressed that so much fucking generic crap keeps coming out of the "boston scene". How many more bands have to sound like Motorhead meets ______ ?

umm where was the Motorhead i guess i missed that part of their sound !

... i like motorhead

up for motorhead.

that first track on www.convergecult.com has a motorhead feel. The vocals are very lemmy-esque. The whole "rock n roll + ________ (insert metal, hardcore, punk, or indie rock here)" thing is getting old, in my mind. The second track isn't blowing me away either.

basically, Ian Mackaye was right when he said Hardcore died after 83. Too many bands sounding the same...who the hell is writing songs to express themselves? IT's all "let's be genre X and play Y music"

umm actually it's just pretty good skater punk, i think you're just taking to that next level of who gives a fuck.

and as much as i love Motorhead i still don't feel it, Godflesh sure.
motorhead no !

Lemmy would throw his mole at you !

theyre not moles, theyre cocoa puffs.

All of Jake's projects have been dope. Nate's stuff always sounds like other bands. He has incredible stage presence and is a great bassist, but I think he makes lukewarm band choices. Old Man Gloom is great but who is going to deny how close they sound to Isis?

well gee they only have Aaron Turner in the band !

i'm just saying it's Godflesh mixed with skater punk, can't go wrong there !

oh Nick i'm gonna have to give you a hickey when i see you !

dude.

blues jealous

Ha !

that's ok he's got titties !

Fuck that other show, I don't care who is in that band or what they sound like, they aren't playing my show and that makes them obsolete.

truer words have never been spoken.

dude.

Blue's got some nice titties !

Perky asian ones!

ah, so true.

doobie doobie doooooo

i believe Dawn will be swinging before she heads over to the Gwar show to shoot your set Blue !

oooowooooo!

paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty.

I am looking forward to this show, I want to see the End

Joe/NotCommon said:

Way to state the obvious Blue baby

yeah I want to see the end too.

I am much more excited about them than DtF. Plus they are from CANADA!! I BET THEY TALK LIKE COMPLETE GOOFBUKETTS!

sick mash brah

jhjkhjkhjk

sdaadfghj

woooo deeee wooooo

i love bumping this.

i hope the show does well, but i'll covering Alabama Thunder Pussy/Gwar at Avalon and DOOMriders in Cambridge that night !

my Dad is from Canada, and the stereo typical canadian accent that faggots in hollywood try to make fun of is more prevelant in some of the mid-western states then actually in Canada.

In Nova Scotia people just sound like violent racists.

i love nova scotia.

they sound nothing like motorhead at fucking all. and everything not just 'the boston scene" is played out"

they sound more like JFA than anything.

anonymous said:

I agree, most shit is played out. But not everything. I can't grade the Phoenix scene, or the Newark scene, or the Atlanta scene. I can just speak for the one right over the river, and man, if one more band "sounds like JFA" or "sounds like (insert old school hardcore / punk / new wave band name here)" I am going to retch.

I will be at this show to watch Kubrick destroy. And to drink beer! More to watch Kubrick destroy though.

up yo

another big wooooooooooooooooooo

and together!
wooooooooooooooooooo

I think Sykofant is palying that show!!

i think you should realize you aren't funny

This show is definitely Mosh-Shorts worthy

how now brown cow is a palindrome

and how!

Nick loves Throwing Daggers and infact has asked for a special shirt just for him to wear at this show !

i love you Nicky Silver !

ill wear a knife invades throat shirt, cus that names really bad.

hah

oh Blue, don't make me grab at them titties !

It will always be Teddy Black Tar to me. That name is awesome.

Ha !

nope the Rev made fun of it, so it is forever shamed !

and now i'm gonna go cry for thinking of that horrible memory, i hope you can live with that.

im going to lay caltrops on the floor in front of the stage, anyone who attempts to mosh will get their feet mutilated

beer. booze. kubrick. metal. RAAAAAR mother bizritches.
oh and by the way...not that anyone cares, but mike hsu was plugging this show on harder faster last night. aaaaaaaand scene.

I'll kill you if you fuck up my mosh, Joe

YES.

$10 is too much to deal with a stupid crowd.

will this show sell out? should i pick up a ticket in advance or should i be fine to pay at the door?

this show will sell out. just make sure you get there early, like 8:30 or so.

10 bucks is too much for a show?! ARE YOU CALLING ME STUPID!? may you go bald and may your house plants wilt.

and up.

soilworker said:

If you are coming from Maine, I will guest list you Himmler.

$10 = 2 touring bands, one from Canada one from Chicago + 2 awesome local bands that will make you cry with deelight + room that holds 175 people in "prime real estate" area

seems like a good, even price to me. the overhead at the middle east is intense.

upupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupup

teddy black tar

i was going to go to this show till i found out about the Backstabbers inc show.

Our show may have fewer scene points, but it's got 10x more scene cred.

you'll be telling your grandkids about it, even if it's just "Nick from TTOS split his pants on stage AGAIN"

Taste of Chicken said:

NO no it's Throwing Sharpnel !

remember the Box of Knives show? man that place was fucking awesome. it was even awesomer because of the utility pole with teddy bears nailed to it outside of the door...

Ha, i remember losing my box of wheat thins when i almost got held up !

i was raised on low sodium wheat thins....so pathetic. wheat thins made me metal i think.

wheat thins and gatorade is all anyone needs to live !

i week away. ive got my mosh shorts on right now in celebration.

i might have to go to this now, that DOOMriders have gone soft !

damn right.

blue back at school said:

when 900years old you reach, look as good you will not !

DOOMriders cancelled because Lemmy threatened to sue.

And then JFA called and said, "never, ever, ever pretend you like sound like us or claim you do ever again. Ever. Never ever."

attention Nick, the Star called and wanted to know when your gossip column would be ready.

i'm gonna mosh like beavis at this show

I should have a gossip column, dammit.

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:

it's true, Rev give Nick a gossip column !

i have no legs

on tuesday, Joe Not Common was spotted with two Siberian prostitutes entering a secret Helvete night no one knows about at Harper's Ferry.

last monday, at the swingin' party put on by Jon "P-Diddy" Dwyer, Anne Armageddon was spotted talking to her new beau, Christraper. Said Anne, "He's the best catch I've had since my brief fling with Blue 'Brad Pitt' Kubrick"

inquiring minds want to know!

I'd say more Fabio than brad pitt

bahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

oooowoooo

aaaaaaaaaand scene.

santa!

this is crucial.

I trained my dick to do a belly flop.

guy.

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:


post another story...

blue said:

kid dude

indeed

did the other band drop off the other show?

Where have all the good men gone? To ManRay, of course! Shawn, Brian, and Kyle of Throwing Shrapnel were seen leaving ManRay's eponimous "Campus" night after a rousing evening of sex and candy. The deep growls? The permeating sneer of distortion tinged guitar lines? "It's all just for show," says Shawn, formerly of Tasty Buttocks, "Our real passion is doing pig piles with the thirty or forty nude men."

But where does that leave the current state of hardcore? "Wide open for a randy good time!" says Jim of Bane of Existence, "I've been looking for a something to do with myself when I'm not trying to pet the cat 'the wrong way.' You know the expression, 'How many members of Bane of Existence does it take to get wild with Bleeding Through?'" Jim looks at this reporter with a wink and a slight nod, "Just one, when his friends aren't around!"

Yet, fine readers, one can't help but wonder where the rumor mill will strike next.

Especially when Heavy Rotation is changing its name to...HEAVY FLOTATION?? That's right. Jessica Smith of HR is now the proud owner of a baby dolphin. "When it comes to pets," says Jessica next to a 1700-gallon pool, "I don't goof around!"

You're effin' crazy, Nicholas. But I like the sound of that... Heavy Flotation.

that ladies and gentlemen, is brilliant journalism.

oh man. how do you think of this crap nick?

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:


nick you really don't value your life do you? consider yourself dog food.

at least if you're gonna mock me spell my name right !

and woah some journalism, not even knowing our drummers name. for shame for shame !

i like when people make me laugh... thanks nick

j of existence said:

oh hush, man. have a sense of humor. imagine if I e-threatened you everytime you had a laugh at my expense? take a deep breath, see the irony, have a giggle, and cheer up. It's a sunday!

ill giggle when im stomping on your fucking head you cock sucker

Hey Jim, did you get my e-mail?

stomping on the head of my cock with your lips?

son you really must hate life!

lady czerach NLI said:

yea i did we cannot do that one sorry

oh man. lets all just get along.

wow. uncalled for.

is it fucking monday yet?

It's monday, time to rock!

I hope some of you can make it, I assume Jim won't, too busy crying over a ridiculous gossip column style post that doesn't even really make fun of him.

I wish I didn't have class today or I would camp outside the middle east like a hippie at a phish concert....minus the granola and birkenstocks, which would be replaced by jager and sugar daddys.

goddamnit, I need to start remembering to log in...

watch at TTOS and RK merge into Silver Kubrick, as we share 4x12 cabinets and Jewish heritage!

Sylvia Kubrick

Joe/NotCommon said:



nope i won't be there and nope no crying joey just some people you just can't reach little nick is one of those people he knows i already wanna stomp on his head yet he dosen't know when to shut up so i'm still gonna drop kick him

how about they merge all four bands to form the mighty

mOe said:

i wish i remembered this show an hour ago.

even though i dont know where the middle east is i might still try to go. how long does it take to get there from worcester?

Josh_hates_you said:

an hour maybe less take mass pike to Allston/Cambridge exit and just stay straight till you reach Mass Ave then take a right it's like 3 blocks from there on the right hand side.

my friends are all bastards and no one wants to go to boston. lame.

i dont feel like driving there alone.

i'm leaving soon for this!

leavin right now, boooooing!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Sarah (RK) just called me
<3

sucks that i won't see anyone tonight =)
ps: i hate my job

awesome awesome show joe.

review:

TTOS - We had a lot of fun ... the CD they gave us needs a good deal of fine tuning, and I think something was wrong with the kick mic cause I hear no kick on this, but heard it live...maybe i am missing something? People were awesome in the audience, great turnout, everyone gets a personalized high five next tiem they see me!!!

Raising Kubrick - Splendid as always. Sound from the PA was a bit muddy but man they sounded brutal. Everyone was super.

The End - Oh I WILL see this band again. Fucking great. Everyone needs to see them. Brilliant shit. Some of the chord shapes they use are like WHA?!?!? Not as "core" as you'd imagine...a lot of intergrity to what they do.

Dead to Fall - I wasn't impressed, but people had fun. I dunnow...too much like...everything else. Still they got the crowd going, so that's cool..



A good time!!! Joe wins this round.

the_taste_of_cigarettes said:

Yay, fun show!

I had to laugh through Dead to Fall's entire set... it was a very non-Joe show. But the turnout was killer and everyone had a good time. Drink tickets rule!! I have pictures but I'm in no condition to upload them now.

everything was great at that show... till dead to fall played



... but thats not my cup of tea

Kubrick tore it up once again, I had a great time rockin my brains out. and I know the general consensus on dead to fall wasn't great, but I thoroughly enjoyed there set, but then again...it is my cup of tea. to each his own i suppose, g'night.

pretty cool show. saw lots of cool mofo's. Tim was bugging me to go to this all month, and I did, but he didn't. That's because his gf's grandfather died or something..anyways. I took pictures, I'll try to get them up asap.

arrived at 8:30 and thought I would have missed TOS, but apparently the doors didn't even open until 9.

TOS: I think they played one new song, sounded pretty cool. I always think rowan is going to eat me alive.

Kubrick: came on with a lot of energy with the full force of that beast moe. blue was sporting a porphyria shirt, holy crap. chris was twirling his dong, i mean hair. sarah was lovely in the most brutal way possible.

The End: never really checked these guys out before, but they were pretty good live. A little bit like ion dissonance. 2 people told me they were boring as hell, and the other 2 told me they were good.

said my goodbye's and made the trek back to maine. So no pictures of DTF, but I'm sure they aren't my bag, I have heard them before. Evan's not even drumming for them anymore, so bleh.

ps. I think I only saw joe once during this entire show..and it was during the end....I probably should have stayed just to see his expression of dead to fall. heh.

The End were fucking amazing when I saw them a few days ago. There were some tracks I'd rather have heard last friday but that's ok. They'll be coming around a few more times. Extremely brilliant band.

dead to fall is all about the last song.. the gates of helll open for mmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Awesome show! I saw TTOS in Bellingham and sort of liked them but they won me last night. I'm now a fan. RK was awesome as usual. I would have paid 10 bucks just to see them. I had to leave during The End because it was almost midnight on a Monday and blah blah blah but they were really good. It looked like a good turnout to me, but I don't know how the Middle East works money wise. I hope it all worked out for the bands.

i was gonna go to this and looking forward to it all week and the my ride bails on me. so i was pretty pissed cause i wanted to see the end so bad.

I had a good time, I've only seen the Taste of Silver once before (at o'briens) and I liked them alot better this time. What they do reminds me of what Conifer does, only mixed with grind instead of doom. Parts of their stuff goes towards screamo and that doesn't really like me, but the rest of their stuff likes me. I got the new EP.

Raising Kubrick played pretty good, the first few songs were lacking bass, but it seemed to correct itself somewhere during their set, maybe when kris headbutted the wall. I was hoping for a new song because I know they have been writing. It was awesome to see the crowd participation for vertical talking, and the other tunes as well.

I was impressed with The End, I have their CD from Relapse and listened to a couple of tunes and I think their live set does them more justice, but I plan to listen to that again. Canadians always hold a special place in my hear as it is. These guys were really cool people too. I think I may try to make it to the Feb. 11th show even though I have no idea who those other bands are that they are playing with.

Dead to Fall was the worst band I ever booked, over homogenized breakdown after overhomogenized breakdown. Alot of people seemed to be into them, which is cool, but bands like them do nothing for me. A fight broke during their set, which totally sucked, and everyone moshing kept nailing everyone who was just hanging out, and the middle east is so small that there was nowhere for those people to go. I was forced to apologize to the middle east for that band, who apparantly were total pricks to the middle east staff the entire night. Everytime they had a cool riff forming that you could almost get into, BAM!, another breakdown took it away.

I don't think I can risk booking another tour like this because the Middle East stressed to me like 10 times about no moshing and I cannot afford to lose places to book at, particularly the Middle East.

Go see The End on Feb 11th.

no moshing, you can thank all the guy's at cannae shows punching random people including girls.

Joe/NotCommon said:

i don't know who that jackass with dead to fall was, but he cranked me in the leg and now i'm limping around campus like a fucking gimp. i think the same kid threw a roundhouse at my friend and knocked him flat on his ass. i hate that fucking hardcore dance bullshit. GAH.

p.s. not dissing hardcore, just uneccessary acts of attempted mosh.

joe, you havent heard dead to fall before you booked them? they are a cookie cutter metalcore band. manufactured musick for the dance floor.

dead to fall brought a shitload of kids and money in the door for your show dude, so i wouldnt be complaining too much about them.

anonymous said:

That doesn't help him if he winds up losing the Middle East as a venue to book shows.

Joe/NotCommon said:

That is exactly why I hate most metalcore. If those bands didn't get a boner from watching their friends "dance it up" the music would be a lot better.

i thought The Taste of Silver and Kubrick played amazingly. for two bands that ive seen and played with before, i was still very much blown away. totally worth the ten dollars. the end i only barely caught, but i dont care. i love what they do musically but i hate the typically mediocre midrange hardcore screaming throughout every song. booorrrinng. the middle east was an awesome venue, and i look forward to seeing more NotCommon shows there.

MY PICTURES SHITBRICKS:

http://www.watchtomhumponline.com/index.ph...lery&a=day&year=2005&month=1&day=31

this was a great show. we had such a blast. the taste of silver played one of the best sets theyve ever done. awesome. loving the new ep. i thought we had a good set, cept for the me falling back onto my shit. heh. we should be getting an mp3 or two from the show up on our site in the next few days. the end did a great set, and they were super cool guys, i guess they dug us as well. dead to fall (a band i like, sorry) did a good set, good mix of old and new. thanks to everyone for coming out and enjoying our set, you all made it one of our best shows yet. carina, sorry you couldnt come out last night, we were all hoping to see you. next time.

cool pics tom

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA

HAHA, kris has a phallic bass.

kris has a phallic everything.

is his phallic, phallic?

Subordinate Recording Artist .psychofagist. are in the vein of the Dillinger Escape Plan, Ion Dissonance & the Red Chord. check out mp3s from their last album at www.subordinate.it - or - www.psychofagist.com

--- NEW ALBUM OUT NOW ---

WEBZINE: Smother.net [USA] ----------------------------------------------
Italian grind maestros Psychofagists deliver an unrelenting aural assault that mixes chaotic tech-metal with grind's more predictable blast beats. Sort of like Agoraphobic Nosebleed went to bed with Dillinger Escape Plan's daughter and birthed an illegitimate child, Psychofagist is all over the map with completely unpredictable rage...

WEBZINE: DareDevil.de [GER] ---------------------------------------------
Yeeeeeeeeees...this is just what I need after coming home from f**ing work. I think Psychofagist have chosen the right name for their band, cause this is like Dillinger Escape Plan on Crack. Sick, but also really groovy and packed with insane breaks and blast beats. The voice goes a bit in the vein of Today Is The Day and Pig Destroyer. I also wondered about the quality of this stuff, cause it´s so fat and well produced....damn...I have nothing more to ad...you Grind freaks out there will have lots of fun with Psychofagist.
