The Crabtree Zoo

There has been a very odd phenomena that occurs in our house and the oddest thing about it is that it seems to only happen when the bed sheets are changed. The problem has plagued us for about four years now, but I’ve never been quite able to put my finger on it, plus if you try to poke at it, the results are never very friendly. So… after much research and testing, I’ve finally been able to figure out the source of the disturbance…

Turns out we have a Kai Monster infestation!

At The Gates, the originators of Melodic Black Metal hailing from Göteborg (Sweden) played a reunion show last night at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood. The show was absolutely amazing and it was great to see these guys come back after 12 years. It was like watching a piece of history, not to mention the total high school flash backs. After their breakup in ’96 the members went on to form two of my favorite Black Metal bands: The Haunted and Cradle of Filth. www.atthegates.se

Below are a few photos I took at the show.

Darkest Hour
The second opening band was Darkest Hour, first time I’d heard them and they definitely rocked it. Municipal Waste was the first opener, they were cool, but sounded too much like a late 80′s Slayer cover band…
