National Capital Rock: Hot wax

Hot wax

It's been a busy, busy week at school, but hurdles have been passed and during this brief respite National Capital Rock might return to something like regular posting. Speaking of which, last night I went over to the House of Targ - yes, it's that time of the month again - to check out some heavy sounds. Klovenhoofs were releasing their new EP at this shindig, and showing off their new bassist: Houes of Targ supremo Yogi. Also on hand, Black Tower, who were showing off their new guitarist, and Drones of North America, who took a completely different tack by having no new members whatsoever.

First up Black Tower, now with more Necroburger (World War 4, Manpower, Hot Piss, etc.)! They also brought candles for extra spookiness.

And here's Skottie of Visitors and Creeps fame (but you knew that).

More Necroburger!

Erin frets!

The whole lot!

Singalong action!

Dave hits!

Extra Skottie!

Blurry leaping action!

The end!

After the leap, some Drones and some Hoofs!

I recently saw The Drones of North America at Babylon and mentioned they were Andrew Tweedy of Buried Inside's new band; I quite forgot it has some Mountanaka in it as well.

Chuck sings!

Percussive action!

Andrew sings!

More percussion!

Downstroking action!

Rhythm section action!

Singalong action!

And now on to Klovenhoofs. Their last bassist, Eric Larock, is now serving with Ian Blurton's Public Animal (who, incidentally, are playing the Dominion on November 30 - mark your calendars!). Thus, they recruited Paul "Yogi" Granger, man of many bands (including BlackBread, who play the Dominion tonight) to handle the low end, in addition to recording their new EP, Infectious Hooves, at his Meatlocker.
