THRONES (Salem, OR - Kill Rock Stars)- one man, one legend: Joe Preston has released solo albums under the name "Thrones" for almost 15 years. Ex bassist for the MELVINS, HIGH ON FIRE and EARTH. Watch in amazement as he constructs and fuses metal, punk and noise piece by piece, loop by loop. ONE of only TWO Texas shows this year!!
The HIGH COST OF LIVING - (Semi)instrumental hardcore metal trio from Austin who opened for the Sword the last time they played Ft. Worth. They are the next GENESIS of metal in Austin. KIDDING! But they do pull a 'phil collins' on some songs. Some dude from the SWORD is recording their upcoming full length.
