They’re all just shows/festivals whatever…the origin and intent is bullshit now, it started with Woodstock, then Lollapalooza, then Bonnaroo, now this. It’s all just big showcases. Who cares.
Good lineup though…nice to see COC still out there even if I don’t listen to them anymore
Just read on MetalSucks.net that Scaccia is going to be playing with the Skatenigs:
Speaking of the Housecore Records showcase, I am even more stoked about it now that I have learned two of Austin’s most well-known and entertaining heavy musical spectacles, Skrew and skatenigs, will be opening up the festivities. We’re talking serious metal industrial cowpunk metal straight outta the state capital city, back again, and ready to destroy the Has-to-be-way-too-small-of-a-room Emo’s Jr. on Wednesday, March 16.
There will be so much musical history in this room for one night, it is going to be incredible. Skrew, of course, is the brainchild of former Angkor Wat guitarist and leader, Adam Grossman, who also played with Ministry. The skatenigs were Al Jourgenson’s right-hand band for years and feature former Revolting Cocks member, “Phildo” Owens. Not only that, but the new line-up also features guitarist Mike Scaccia (Rigor Mortis, Ministry) and bassist Casey Orr (Rigor Mortis, GWAR). Combine those forces with former Rigor Mortis lead singer Bruce Corbitt, who now fronts Warbeast, and it looks like we have ourselves the makings of a potential Rigor Mortis reunion. Hmm, yes? Maybe? Please?! The possibility is not far from a reality as the reformed ’80s horror death metallers just returned from the road this week. Top it off with Warbeast’s Scott Shelby (Gammacide), Arson Anthem’s Philip Anselmo (Pantera/Down/Superjoint Ritual) and Mike Williams IX (eyehategod) and we’re talking some of the greatest Texas/Louisiana-based (hell, anywhere-based) metal figureheads under one roof.
