THE BODY - January 14th, 2012 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Hell yeah, today's post is a soundboard recording from THE BODY at 924 Gilman Street in 2012.  I've seen this band a whole lot, starting in Ohio in 2000 and then all over the Bay Area.  Sometimes they've been incredible.  Occasionally they've been a little "meh".  That happens when you've seen a band a lot, not all nights are winners. But I always appreciate the fact that just about every single night was different, this was a band that took chances and every time they came through I'd want to see them to see what they did next.  This was a night that to me as an audience member felt like a banger.  This was an incredible show from start to finish, and all were recorded, but the only ones that came out listenable was this set and the one from Brainoil, which I've already uploaded.  Swamp Witch, Negative Standards, and Thou also played, it's a shame the recordings came out completely unlistenable. Grateful this one came out though, as for as many times as I saw The Body, I never really recorded much live audio from them.  I did videotape them a handful of times, but this is a blog dedicated to audio recordings, so I'm glad to have at least one thing to contribute from these guys to this site.  Hopefully you folks dig it as well, enjoy!    - DH

DEADPRESSURE - 2012 Demo

This is a personal favorite of mine, the 2012 demo from San Jose's DEADPRESSURE.  I was so stoked to get this and to see and play shows with this band.  And then to become friends with them.  There were a lot of newer bands poppin up in the Bay around this time, including mine, and we'd all play together and it really felt like this new cool wave was gonna be lit.  Sadly, it all fell apart rather quickly, most of the bands broke up, and a bunch of the folks involved in the bands don't really hang out anymore.  For a minute though it was wicked cool, and there were some great demos that popped out of that period, like this 5 minute belter.  Connoisseur, the band I'm in, did a split tape with Deadpressure, and they have a 7" or two I believe.  Too lazy to check my records, lol.  Their drummer Cris is now in Connoisseur, as well as a half dozen other bands like Socioclast, Hard Foul, and some others.  Anyhoo, smoke weed (it's 4/20 today breh) and play this fucker loud!     -DH

BRAINOIL - January 14th, 2012 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

Another show from 10 years ago but that felt like it took place just a couple years ago, a reminder about how fast time flies by.  This time I'm feeling old thanks to this set from BRAINOIL at 924 Gilman St.  This is a soundboard recording recorded to direct to CDR when Gilman had the disc writer for a bit.  Now Brainoil soundboards are quite rare as the band had so much gear and killer tone that not much of it would be piped through the PA, especially at Gilman, those guys could easily fill that room with volume from their amps.  No need to have a volunteer soundperson mess with that at all.  But I've tried a few times, and this was the best of any I'd tried to make.  I do recall I had to boost the guitars in Izotope but other than that this sounded pretty damn even.  It obviously doesn't sound anywhere near as good as their records, or seeing them in person, but these things never do.  It's just fun to look back and remember, or to hear something from bands we may have never saw live.  

So this was a show with Swamp Witch, Negative Standards, Thou, and The Body.  Did Brainoil headline?  I can't remember.  But it was a fantastic show from top to bottom.  All the bands were recorded, most came out awful and couldn't be salvaged in Izotope, but you'll see one more from this night posted here eventually.  Enjoy!    -DH
