Ehhm, the longer you leave this thing un-updated, the harder it becomes to actually update it. Talk about your basic vicious cycle.
IX is no more, our drummer came back from Hiatus and decided he didn't wanna play Doom anymore. Simulatenously with that, two other members decided they'd rather focus on other projects rather than look for new members, so that was the nail in... Read More
Suffice to say life has been a wild rollercoaster, a non-stop whirlwind of excitement, a wait- that's a total lie!
As I left you last, I was off to my twin sister's wedding, where I drink too much, meet a lot of folks I hadn't seen since High school and I also put on a... Read More
Well it's been a while since I put finger to key for this blog. how have you all been my pretties?
The last couple of Saturdays, Ix had gigs (one in Edinburgh, one in Glasgow) which were shockingly similar:
At both Mr Steve (guitar/keys) was too ill to attend, so we played them as four-pieces with only two guitars, like some kind of primitives! At... Read More
Man, I missed you guys again, I'm so sorry! I ended up bogged down with uni stuff and it slipped my mind. My bad. How'd the wedding go? And more importantly, did you stay sober?
I wanted to go and see you guys play in Edinburgh the other week but I forgot to write the date down and then it passed because i have no working memory. I hope it was good though and good luck with tomorrows show, I'll be writing essays I'm afraid!
you're either in it for the love or the money, so i'm guessing it's the love as you don't get rich too quickly playing doom! if you're all enjoying it, then fuck the press, most people in the press are either failed musicians or talentless wasters with a chip on their shoulder anyway, so bollocks to them all.
i've only heard the track "Sleeper" from your myspace page, and it's doomy as sin!! does exactly what it says on the tin. people are either gonna be with you or they ain't. i'm rambling like the fool i am here just a tad, but basically stick with it as it sounds great to me.
This month's Rock Sound has a review of the Ix/Naked Shit split in it. To save you folks the post-christmas pennies, here it is in full:
IX/NAKED SHIT SPLIT EP
"The cover artwork for "Split EP" depicts a darkened room, a bright window and a single branch. Like these images, the music is ambiguous. It's doom of the slowest kind, where lyrics are absent and... Read More
Yeah, I caught that review. I've gotta say, Rock Sound has never been high in my estimations. Hell, I think Brand New or something are on the cover the now
Tired. Ah well, only four days to go until the weekend *sigh*.
Had an ok weekend visiting my mother's new house in the picturesque hellhole that is Fort William. When the weather let up, the scenery was nice, but thankfully I was spared any extensive walks. Wasn't fond of the six-hour journey there and back either.
And my Roadburn ticket arrived! Woot! Still need to... Read More
