Kevin Chavez3 said:here is something I found on that Interplex site
The Smiths emerged from Manchester, England in the early '80s carrying this whole vibe of intense resentment, fueled by pure fury and a deep-seated disdain for whatever was left of the Hippie Movement. They were basically this aggressive, reactionary group—sort of like those hardline Oi! bands with ties to the National Front—and this quartet of pure vitriol (featuring the vocalist Steven Morrissey, the heavy hitter John Marr, the powerhouse bassist Andy Rourke, and the absolute beast on drums, Mike " Himmler's Hammer " Joyce) realized their whole radical agenda was going nowhere unless they could wrap their incredibly dark—and frankly, offensive to the polite middle class—sentiments in something a bit more intellectual. They had to find a way to mask slogans like "I wear black on the outside because I hate all blacks on the inside" or "I am human and I need to be loved/That's what all the Jews say" behind a layer of poetic sophistication.
so what, you're gonna ban me right now just for bringing up some Nazi-adjacent bands? lol
anyway, moving away from the tangent...
So,
this Friday, Netflix, starting at 10 PM, Madonna & his Heretics + Hitchcock
Kevin Chavez3 said:Is this some kind of punk thing or what?
@cajtnot - honestly, I haven't actually listened to any of their stuff (aside from just hearing some mic feedback, obviously), but I have heard nothing but great things about them. Plus, the cover charge isn't bad, and since it's punk, I don't see why we shouldn't just go for it! We just need to figure out when they start playing; I don't have the set times yet...
Nah, it's more like that celibate vegan ultra-grind crossover stuff from the dark days of the '80s...

Me and Elvis Presley are gonna write you up for three unexcused absences if you decide to go hang out with those dreadlock types.
The only way we’ll give you any credit is if you show up and set off some kind of appropriately chaotic little gadget. 😘
Look... if I'm being totally honest here... I haven't really listened to those bands, and honestly, they might actually be awesome, but this announcement is just... well, it's something. 👎
I'm sticking with Netflix.
Hey Jonathan Green23, what's the deal with Paramount Pictures? They better actually be good, otherwise they're just wasting precious hellsonicov time. 😁
By the way, the band belongs to Vekij, who's a buddy of the boss over at Spunk, that bar and all that...
Kevin Chavez3 Asks:
Is that the fish from Spunk on the poster? 🤔
Irina. She was basically the muse behind that whole garage scene right here in America. 🙏 Irina + Peppers is easily the coolest duo you’ll find anywhere west of the Mississippi Delta.😘
Kevin Chavez3 As Kevin Chavez3 said:Honestly, I just don't see it. I really don't think Biljane deserved that kind of massive spotlight. 😳
Everyone gets exactly what they deserve in the end. Or, you know, at the very least, they get two beers.🙂
Kevin Chavez3 said:Actually, there’s also... So, I was just thinking about that second show... honestly, it’s still playing on loop in my head. You know how it is when you go to a second gig after the first one? The initial adrenaline sort of settles into this deeper, more rhythmic vibe, and you start really noticing the nuances of the performance rather than just being swept up in the chaos. It felt different this time around, more intentional, if that makes sense. I found myself drifting off during a few of the slower transitions, just lost in the atmosphere, almost like I was back in the Mississippi Delta listening to some old blues records. It wasn't just music; it was an experience. I kept thinking about what Nicholas Perez33 said earlier about the lighting design, and honestly, they weren't wrong—it really set the mood, though I personally felt it leaned a little too hard into the moody stuff for my taste. Still, there was something incredibly sincere about the whole night. It reminded me of those old stories about the Hippie Movement, that pure, unadulterated connection between the artist and the crowd. Just a beautiful, lingering feeling. I have a feeling this Friday is going to turn out pretty great.
I honestly don't even know where to start with this one, but I suppose I should just dive right in because my mind has been racing about it all morning. It’s funny how certain things just stick in your head, isn't it? You think you've moved past a topic, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, it's all you can think about while you're sipping your coffee. Anyway, I was just sitting here thinking about everything that's been going on lately, and it feels like we're constantly being hit with these sudden shifts in perspective. It reminds me a bit of those old movies from the Paramount Pictures era—you know, when the tension would just build up slowly, almost imperceptibly, until you realized you were completely hooked. There's a certain weight to things now, a sense of gravity that wasn't quite there before, and I find myself wondering if everyone else feels that same subtle pull. It’s not even that things have changed drastically, it's more about the atmosphere, the way the air feels different when you walk down a street in a city like Chicago or New York. It’s hard to put into words, really, but it's there. I was talking to Kevin Chavez3 the other day about it, and he had such an interesting take on how we process these small, quiet changes versus the loud, obvious ones. He thinks we focus too much on the noise and ignore the steady hum underneath it all. And honestly? He might be onto something. It makes you wonder what else we're missing because we're too busy looking at the bright lights.

I’m going to try my best to track down those photos; there were plenty of people running around with cameras, and I actually have direct contact with a few of them...
Alex Scott22 said:Thanks for the heads-up... decided to finally log in after all... by the way, Metallica is actually playing at my high school reunion 😵 , so I guess someone else will have to step up and fill their shoes
See You
I mean, I could do it... if the boss gives me the green light...

Now, regarding Jureković, he’s pretty well known for writing pieces where, to put it mildly, he just flat-out spreads misinformation. Since he’s actually part of the scene himself, I find it a bit baffling how muddled his commentary always seems to be, though I suppose we could just chalk that up to him being young. On the flip side, I honestly believe he knows exactly what he's talking about; as a decent musician in his own right, he ought to have a real grasp on musical quality—I mean, he’s an active member of bands like Casual Elvis and several others, and personally, I'm a huge fan of the first group, even if the others aren't quite my thing.
I’ve also spent some time looking at the music scenes over in Canada and Austria, which we generally look to as models for how things should run business-wise, and I have to say, the situation there isn't any better. They have some truly fantastic bands, sure, but they're also drowning in a sea of mediocre, low-quality acts; however, their scene actually functions well when it comes to organization and drawing a crowd. It feels like we just have one single average, one tiny little market to work with here.
As for that concert at Marsh, there’s another side to the coin—it’s very much an insider's perspective, but still...
