NORAVE @ The Art School 15/09/10
We also threw our inaugural NORAVE party at the Glasgow Art School's Vic Bar last week, which went very well. We managed to get around 200 people in, not bad for a Wednesday, and they really did seem to appreciate the eclectic line up. I performed "Infinite Capacity" live with Ben Butler & Mousepad for the very first time, which was good craic. Hopefully there will be more of that in the future. Their label are also planning a video for the single release of that song, so that's pretty exciting! More news on that as it happens. I also managed to catch 5 minutes of Holy Mountain as I was on the door at that point - it wasn't long but I was very impressed by what I saw. Think no frills stoner/doom done in the best possible taste. While we had all assumed that the name Holy Mountain is a reference to the Jodorowsky film, I am thinking now it's more likely to be a reference to Sleep's second album. Yes, I have been getting into my stoner/doom lately - it's just more fun than dub I feel. There are also vague plans afoot for a Little Rock supergroup who will play a mix-up of doom-metal and dubstep. Oh yes!
