• Rumors abound - Gwar and Insane Clown Posse will be at Louisville Gardens on Halloween Eve. Better wear a raincoat to this one or just get splattered with Gwar goop and make it your Halloween costume!
• Caught a couple of cool shows in September at P. J. 'S.
The weekend of September 4 and 5 featured Inhuman, Pownd, Snatch, Shapeless Matrix, Incursion and Psuedopoxy. Oddyssey from Indy and Engrind were also scheduled to play-but unfortunately those plans were stifled.
But I did get to listen to a three-song tape from Engrind - some good stuff here. "Gate Face" really kicks butt! For more info, write to Engrind, 1031 Berry Blvd., Louisville, Ky. 40215.
• September 12 at P. J. 's featured Two Ton Groove, Noise Bucket and Engrind. Month of Sundays was also scheduled to play, but didn't. I heard that this show ended in somewhat of a riot. The cops came and everyone had to leave, all due to someone's uncool behavior. I wasn't there, but this kind of crap is one reason why clubs stop allowing bands to play and this is not a good thing to happen. So, everyone just needs to mosh, hang out and have fun! Can ya dig it? 'Nuff said!
• Monster Magnet was at the Toy Tiger on September 22. Please check out my review of the show and the new CD in this issue.
That's all from me for this month. Check out as many of these shows that ya can. Looks like metal is taking over October in Louisville! See ya in the Pit!!
