Ladies and gentlemen, we have only three shows that have hit my radar for Los Angeles (which is Spanish for The Angeles) this week. Kick it off this Friday with a fun band to watch, Bad Dudes at-- yes you guessed it-- The Smell, again.
As previously mentioned, Sourvein and Zoroaster will be laying the sludge all over the Knitting Factory this Sunday. Rumor has it that 16 is also on this bill.
After you’ve studied the doom, pick yourself back up and come thrash it up with Darkest Hour and get educated on the disgusting grind tendencies of Cephalic Carnage at The Roxy Wednesday. If you’ve never seen Cephalic, I highly suggest it-- they are some funny dudes and nonetheless super brutal.
Cephalic Carnage - Xenosapien Webisode #1:
Check out the King of Metal’s (aka comedian Dave Hill of semi-joke metal band Children of the Unicorn, both of whom crustcake gerf loves) interview with vocalist Lenzig Von Strokenoff (classic!) while on the Summer’s Laughter Tour……..summer slaughter?
LA show picks 2/7 - 2/13:Friday 2/8 - Bad Dudes @ The Smell
Sunday 2/10 - Sourvein, Zoroaster @ The Knitting Factory (alterknit lounge)
Wednesday 2/13 - Darkest Hour, Cephalic Carnage @ The Roxy
[MP3] Zoroaster - "Tualatin"

Crustcake Picks - LA Shows 1/31 - 2/6
Pretty decent week coming up now that the rain has cleared (people treat rain in LA like snow-- they freak out). The Black Dahlia Murder, 3 Inches of Blood, Hate Eternal, and Decrepit Birth will be at Key Club tonight, but the deal is sweeter than it was in NYC with the addition of Seattle's Lesbian, who come highly recommended, to the bill. Aaaaaaaand, since one night with Lesbian is not enough for me, come give me a high five at Relax Bar Saturday evening while we bang heads to Lesbian and Ancestors (my pick of the week).
If you want to get on crustcake gerf's good side, pop on over at The Troubadour Friday night for Delta Spirit.
Next Tuesday is shaping up to be a night of show hopping with Black Mountain playing at the Troubadour and then, down the street a bit, The Knitting Factory will be hosting classic rock giants Blue Cheer (what's left of 'em anyways) to show the new school of stoner rockers how it is done.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that 16 will be screaming at you tomorrow night as well at Relax Bar (not very relaxing).
Show list and mp3s after the jump.
