Here it is for all of you who have been asking me, the one and only HOLZKOPF taped from a live performance on BT!
What a crazy weekend past. It started on Thursday when I hopped in a van with Holzkopf, Zebra Pulse, Eamon McGrath, and Rick Ried of the City Streets. Also joining us was Trevor of Gold Rush, Slow Beef, and Italian Husbands (a side project with Holzkopf). He would man the helm of this ship and take us to Calgary for a night of noise. We played at the Palomino, Eamon Played at Higher Ground.
The sound guy at the Palomino was very generous with volumes in the place. Man oh man what a sound system! I have never heard noise that crisp.. hahaha, funny but true. They sure know how to treat bands too, free meals and a couple drinks made the trip down (7 people in the van) worth it. Once it got dark and the music got loud and show goers showed up. The music Kicked off with a metal band (bass and drums) that sung of black metal wheelchairs.
Zebra Pulse Followed performing their first out of town show. It was quite successful and all 8 of the hand made albums that were finished minutes before the show were snatched up.
Holzkopf Performed the finishing move on the night with a blistering hot set. Ending with a collab with partner in crime Trevor. This they lovingly call the Italian Husbands.
Unfortunately i missed Eamon show.
The next night Holzkopf and Zebra Pulse were joined by The Barnyard Curlies, Corvid Lorax, Swwords, and Deep freeze at the Hydeaway. The Purpose of this show i assume was to try and drown out the GZA show at the Star-lite Lounge. Another very successful show!
