Waiting for Haxen. Cool spot. I went up a couple flights and walked through this huge empty floor. Lots of leftover industrial knickknacks and got to pet a cat with no tail. They're playing cool soundscapes before the band.

HAXEN - very straightforward. I haven't seen them in a while, they looked like they have different people in the band but it could be the lack of robes. Good

SHATAAN - the one band I was not familiar with. I ended up sitting in the front so people could see. It sounded great where I was . I really got into the drummer.

KUXAN SUUM - I was interested in them and they delivered.

There is no mention if what band is which and members are switching off so I wish Iwas more familiar. DOLORVOTRE is on and I thought it was going to be
KALLATHON. Maybe kallathon was really close to Kuxan suum and I got confused

Kallathon are going on now - that makes more sense

Volahn (himself) is tuning up right now. Do I am very confused. I am not sure what is going on next.

Damn auto correction

Now I'm hearing the Kuxan Suum
Song that I like. Very confused but enjoying immensely

Okay, so the show was really cool. I haven't been to a loft show in a bit and I now realize how much I missed them. Paragon was a good environment and everyone was laid back. I saw the guy who was running the sound (adam?) and he probably runs the place -- he flipped out at a crustie that was pestering him. It was beautiful and clearly based on some prior event with that guy. (Probably even unrelated to any show). Other than that I am not aware of any drama.
I've downloaded the Black Circle stuff and got to pick up a bunch of cassettes at this. I thought I was kind of familiar with them, but it got very confusing as to who was playing. There were 5 sets done by those guys but only 4 BTC band billed (see what I mean). I swear that the last set was playing the Kuxan Suum track that is their demo, even though they were listed as playing after Shataan.
Regardless of anything else, they did not fuck around. One set ended and I went to take a leak and chatted with people, and the next set fired up. I was pleasantly surprised. You would think that with sharing equipment there would not be a long wait between bands, but I have been to so many loft shows I never expect it. That Volahn guy was bass in one band, drums in the next set, vocals in another and so on. So he was just going for 2 - 3 hours. He seemed to get into it.

Lineup was Shataan, Kallathon, Dolorvotre, The Haunting Presence, Kuxan Suum. Addition of THP happened very last minute

As I went in, the flyer/poster was up next to the doorway. It was the same one that is linked above. I would have liked to know that during the show. With bands swapping members it was impossible for me to keep track. While drinking.
