Crusty / hardcore show alert

Posted by on September 27 at 17:15 PM

If you wanted to see Caustic Christ and Iron Lung twice in one day, Wednesday (9/28) is the day to do it:

1) they play at 6 pm at Electric Heavyland, 252 NE 45th St. in Wallingford. It’s free and all ages.

2) they play at 9 pm at Galway Arms, 5257 University Way NE. It’s $3 and 21+. Mala Sangre is the opener at this show. The flier I saw for this described Mala Sangre as an “LA crust dude,” which is intriguing. I did a bit of internet research and found him/they described as “very heavy hardcore,” which seals the deal for me.

Just so we’re clear: Iron Lung consists of two guys from Reno rocking guitar, drums and vocals (I’ve seen them before, and I’d go see them again); and Caustic Christ consists of ex-Aus Rotten members, which I suppose speaks for itself. Here’s a Caustic Christ mp3 that I picked at random.

Personally, I haven’t decided if I’m going to go to one of these yet, though I’d like to. I’ll have to talk it over with my rock ‘n’ roll partner (you see, I just moved here from San Francisco with said rock ‘n’ roll partner, and he’s the only person I know who’d go with me—and I’ve found that going to shows alone just isn’t very fun). If I do go, I’ll report back on it.
