Sleepy Eyes of Death, HLAK, Loving Thunder @ Neumos
January 16th, 2009
Fans of Karp will appreciate Loving Thunder, whom I saw at the Greenhouse several months back. The duo plays a mighty rendition of progressive metal and pounding drums, as Colin Roper, of Cobra High fame, plays a DEEP, synth-like base that grinds and pulsates along with the spastic drumming of Sterling Callier. Roper’s high-pitched vocals are slightly reminiscent of Ozzy, but also dampened as if the deranged Black Sabbath chief sings from <gasp!> 20,000 leagues under the sea.
.
Excellent overall lineup with the epically ambient visual & aural stimulations of Sleepy Eyes of Death (CD release) and electro-rock genre-benders Head Like A Kite.

Prepare for the massive smokescreen that inevitably accompanies a Sleepy Eyes show… I still have no idea what these guys look like.
