Syre's Syrekanon

I'm listening to C.A. Quintet : Trip Thru Hell and thats some crazed psychedelia from '69. Very, very strange record with hints to both paisley and dark, hauntet lysergia. A very varied record and a true gem. I got it thru Rockadrome mentioned earlier.

I had to do a search at Svingninger to see if Magnus had mentionen the record in "The New Obscure Psych" tread. And then there was Lorenzo Woodrose's list of essential acid rock records to go get. Fantastic list!

Rise Above Anniversary Show

Wow, what a killer show in God damn London. Bongz and I met up with Nanna and Martin at some pub before the show. It was fucking raining and quite a trip from Copenhagen. Anyway, we had a Guinnes and went for the show. Long que outside the venue, but we were soon in. The geeks used 15 min in another que to get the Electric Wizard limited whatever 12" only to be sold at the gig. But then up in the bar and some more beers. The venue called Ulu was quite cool and there was no trouble having 700 people in.

First band finished and second band was soon on. That was Serpentcult and they play kind of pop-doom with a female singer. Not that good and we had all seen them before at Roadburn. So off to the cloakroom and out for a smoke and then back in for another beer.

Third band was Litmus and I had really been looking forward to see them again. Saw them at Roadburn but was so lame I hardly remember anything apart from them being great. They played a nice set of their Hawkwind meets Pink Floyd music - completely spaced out. Then of for beers and cigarettes in the rain. Damned London ... the rain was pouring down like showers.

Anyway, next on stage was mighty Moss. Wow, one guitar but two guitar amplifiers and a bass cabinet. Quite hynotizing heavy doom with a hounted vocal. The other dudes loved it, but in the end it was a little boring - sorry, just a bit ...

Then the same, same again. Toilet, cigarettes and beers. The stageshifts was really effective and soon Diagonal's seven piece band was on stage. This was maybe to be the highlight next to the great wizard later and we waited like little children at x-mas eve. And then they hit the first note and everything was right. Man, oh man, them Diagonal is a killer band. Psychedelic proggy stonerrock so fine, so fine. This was heaven for a musicfreak and therefore their set lasted way to short.

Gentlemans Pistols was next. I had to go and get some cash and met some guys smoking a spliff. Had a little and bought some weed from them. Cool guys, love you dudes! Nanna went off to the ladies room to fix a joint and we enjoyed the pistols and their dirty fucking great riffing. The band was in fine form and the energy judt filled the room. Great vibes - and great songs.

We only saw little of Taint as we had to go through the routine of toilet, cigarettes and beers once again and ended hanging in the bar. Anyway, they were pretty cool, but not overwhelming as last time at Roadburn. Then off we went to get some food. And then we found a telephone box and smoked the joint. That was fun, four people in a telephone box and having a smoke of weed. Then toilet and beers and back in front of the stage. Grand Magus was almost finished and then we waited ...

... and then the Wizard came on stage. Wow, the room was packed and everybody was exited. This was the kings of doom standing in front of us - and thet were to deliver. The riffs was heavyer than heavy, the sound was compressed to the max. Everything was simply perfect and they lived up to my very great expectations. Fantastic band! The set closed with a very long version of Funeralopolis that almost made the whole room fall in psyched-out trance. One of my best experiences ever!

Then we went out and had a beer at some bar. Took the sub to Victoria Station and Bongz and I spent the rest of the fucking night waiting to get home with the first plane in the morning - quite shitty way to end this great night. Anyway, London is fucking stupid closing all the pubs when two stupid danes are gonna spend the night ... ;-)
