I don't care if I'm not listening to it right now, I feel I need to talk about this.
Just back from a live gig of a local band called Livin' in a Valvestate, and holy crap how have they not been signed yet these guys are fucking amaziiiiiing.
They did about a 50/50 split of covers and their own songs, and just some of the covers (the ones I know) in their main set were: Wanted Dead or Alive, Crazy Bitch, For Whom the Bell Tolls. (They apparently did another by Pearl Jam, but I don't know which. Not listened to much Pearl Jam yet.)
Oh, and then they did an encore, which was Master of Puppets, done at least up to Metallica standards, if not higher, followed by Freebird, which included the lead guitarist playing part of the solo behind his head.
They've paid for and produced one album themselves before, and one of my friends has this, so I'm gonna be borrowing it to rip to computer soon, so expect lots more hype of these guys soon.
But seriously. Another local band has been signed recently (Dancing With the Enemy) and Valvestate are a thousand times better.
How. Have they not. Been signed? :|
