Bowels

newish melbourne band
playing hardcore doomy metaly stuff
(i dont know what you call it)

the other night they played with La Quiete and though you should hear. i missed a few songs since they were on first.
the recording is not the greatest but will still give you an idea of what they are about. and in the first song the floor tom was causing problems, but the rest was good.

Bang! Bang! Aids!

Live @ the Birmy on saturday 3/10/2009

first time they played in year(s) since Rhys went to china.
good to see them again..also a bit odd in a way.
normal fucked up set from the boys, with the help from some guy on a sample thing with quotes you will hear in the recording. on the last track there was also about six people on drums.
Very enjoyable.... but still a band you have to see live.

1- Dead Ant Dance
2- The Calder
3- Stoney's Man Trap
4- I'm Sorry I Didn't Know...
5-(Dont know this one)
6-(off Tales EP..but i lost it.. so dont know title)

(i missed the first 4 seconds of the first song, but its still good, also to much high end cut through with the guitar, but it doesn't offend so its ok)

bootleg

it came to my attention that i had access to a portable recording device.
so i tested it at a gig to see how the quality turned out.
not bad.
i have herd much worse.
so i think i shall bootleg shows i got to.

What i intend to do and have been doing is
importing the stereo wav files into Pro Tools
then EQing Compressing and adding all i can to make it sound as good as possible, so kinda like a mixing mastering thing.
cut up the tracks
then i will upload as mp3 zip
for your convenience
