i accompanied mpg last night to an isis show @ neumos.
not my type of music normally. sort of heavy-- fuzzy effects pedals, back of the throat screaming standing in for singing, and a whole lot of hair-- but, i loved it. i helped usher in the encore!
these guys were in sync the entire night, had great song progression and had TREMENDOUS energy. exactly what i needed.
mpg could talk circles around most people about their gear (mainly effects pedals) but i can only speak for the awesome release of energy and feeling.
i warn you though, it's HEAVY. i believe the term i've heard used to describe them is metalgaze, but i'm open to dispute that one.
lesson learned: try new things! and let go of yourself once in a while...
