Creative Loafing Tampa – May 9, 2007
BELLA This bill of local metal bands is headlined by Trans Era a female-fronted foursome that has the whole Hoobastank thang going on. Clench Fist plays a moody brand of metal spiked by the over-the-top singing and sporadic death grunts of lead vocalist Steve Bruno. -based bluegrass quintet Packway Handle Band carries on the tradition of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers with proficient picking and close vocal harmonies while updating the sound with Grateful Dead-style improvisation and Phishy noodling. Packway's repertoire includes doomsday gospel numbers originals and such quirky covers as Madonna's "Like a Prayer… For the full Heatwave skinny go to the music feature on p. Phoenix Mourning do lean screamo and Left in Ashes well they're the most brutal of the bunch playing demonic death stomps that sound truly scary — like maybe an animal or small child was sacrificed during the making of their album. Anthems for Artie headline with their teen-friendly punk-pop sneer while the Justin Layman Band brings a calmer jam-band vibe to the stage. Farewell Verona plies spacey alt rock and The Prospect brings some power piano to the mix.

At only 17 she was headlining clubs like CBGBs with bands such as Tom Petty Talking Heads Television and Cheap Trick opening up for her and she later toured with the Ramones. Jett has also worked with The Sex Pistols and Blondie. Joan and the Blackhearts hopped right off this years’ Van’s Warped Tour and began their fall headline tour with the Eagles of Death Metal and other acts such as Throwrag Valient Thorr and the Riverboat Gamblers. Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will perform at NIBRC on Friday… At only 17 she was headlining clubs like CBGBs with bands such as Tom Petty Talking Heads Television and Cheap Trick opening up for her and she later toured with the Ramones.

Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will perform at NIBRC on Friday. In 1979 Mickey Thomas joined Jefferson Starship as lead vocalist after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin. Backed by the power of Mickey’s vocals Jefferson Starship immediately scored a No. 1 hit with “Jane”.

As part of their prize I had to hike up to Sand Point to meet the young men hang out during their rehearsal talk to them about their music and their lives and then write about it. Having no idea what I was in for I was a bit terrified. Consider all the possibilities that I could’ve faced—shitty ICP-wannabe rap rock played by chubby-faced white-hat-wearing frat boys perma-stoned Dave Matthews Band devotees who think endless jamming is like totally cathartic man or sarcastic and scary hair-metal assholes who don’t know how to play a guitar solo in under five minutes. I shudder to think. Turns out Change Versus Comfort are a very not-offensive rock outfit influenced by all kinds of music—they have a history of rock jazz hiphop even some obscure world stuff… HIGH N FIRE IAMTHETHRN MIC DE NCHE. This gig one of a few regional dates preceding the trio’s immersion in a Seattle studio will preview material earmarked for that fall release. It’s an ideal showcase: With High on Fire’s intoxicatingly heavy epics familiarity is no prerequisite for enchantment. Death’s tunes contain the first songwriting contributions from Zeke’s Jeff Matz who replaced fellow local legend Joe Preston as High on Fire’s bassist last year. Matt Pike unquestionably the lowest-tuned player on Rolling Stone’s recent arbitrary “guitar god” list ranks among metal’s sludgiest shredders and he stretches his solos live.
