Black and brown

Last Saturday I dragged myself over to Cafe DeKcuf (it's been a while) to check out Gnarly Brown, a new band featuring Ty Black of Pretty Little Death Machine, along with Black Market Candy, and East Coast travellers Verse The Sun (Monsun was also on the bill, but I had to split early).

Black Market Candy were on first; this was also the debut performance from new bassist Robert.

Verse The Sun was the end of the evening for me; I was dead tired by the time they were have a dozen songs into their set. They've got a more moder metal sound than Gnarly Brown and Black Market Candy, with some good crunchy guitar sounds.



Fretful action with Jack Leonard!
