4-15 Ramming Speed, Nomad Queen, Cerebral Apophysis, Pittsburgh @Belvederes

I've been to some well supported shows on a Monday night. This was not one of them. A grand total of maybe 15 people were there at the height of the night, which was during Nomad Queen. I think promotion was pretty poor. That said, Belvederes is still a great place for shows. The back room is so spacious it makes for awesome and safe show-going. The beer is the cheapest in town, $2 for tall cans of PBR. And the weather was pretty warm that night. At least 60 degrees. But Pittsburgh didn't turn out for these bands on this night.

Cerebral Apophysis - They bill themselves as blackened crust punk. That's probably what they are. But they're not very good. Maybe one song or so was ok. But all in all the band had no energy and no groove to the music. The lead singer had a horrible curly mohawk and had something weird going on with his eyes when he was yellin. The secondary singer, aka the drumer, was probably my favorite of the group, and it's just because he looked pretty creepy in a molester kind of way. The one redeeming quality of this band is that they have a little traveling distro they take with them that sells patches that they print theirselves. That's pretty cool.

Nomad Queen - There are some varying opinions about this band. The singer has a super loud laugh, which in some books is annoying. But I was super feeling the music. Thrash punk with good vocals. The vocals remind me of Icon Gallery, and the music is similar but heavier. I'll for sure go see this band again.

Ramming Speed - Didn't stay to see them.

Hi's - Nomad Queen, the venue
Low's - leaving early, turnout
