  Hey! I'd love to catch up, but I can't this weekend. I'll be away with my husband for the whole weekend. Let's catch up the following week?!
  
  Also, not sure about the Testament gig at this stage... but probably not.

I'm pretty new to the area, and obviously, there's a lot of great bands that have come out of San Francisco: I'm wondering where the good underground SF bands are and what's the local scene like? I love going to local shows...any suggestions on where to go?

  Actually the South bay is a great scene, bands like Imagika, Bomb & Scary, Angerhead they used to play at the Avalon in Santa clara a lot.. Also the Quarter Note in Sunnyvale used to be a great spot.. in SF maybe the Hotel Utah and bottom of the hill?

Seems like some didnt know Devin Townsend.. I gotta post this, from when he was in Strapping Young Lad, showcasing his previous signature haircut, his wicked sense of humor and his evil touch.. Some background here, Strapping Young Lad has always been in parallel with Devin Townsend Project, only difference being (as far as I know) that he would write music for SYL when he was pissed off, while the music for DTP when he was happy.. Since now he has kids and seems to be in a much better space, SYL is gone.. but oh boy what a band it was..

Atlas Moth was better on cd, Devin Townsend was a pretentious prick who plays some excellent metal and metal showtunes. I found it to be more performance art that I would pay $20 at BotH to experience again. He really should have a bigger sf following. And Gogira has one fuckin epic song. I left soon thereafter.

  Sorry to disagree, Devin has had the same twisted sense of humor forever and he is quite the opposite, he actually doesnt take himself seriously at all.. Check out Strapping Young Lad, he created the heaviest most insane metal band that ever existed, he is a genius.. :)

  Lovely meeting all of you guys by the way..

  Yeah, I found Devin and gojira awesome. It was really nice to meet you.

  I agree with Filippo, Devin is more of a goofball. Sorry I didn't hang with any one at the actual show. Next time :) It was cool meeting people at the bar before the show though.
  
  2 · January 24
- Shelagh McLeod
  
  oh man, I'd never heard of Devin but I was holding my sides laughing. gojira was one of the most energy inducing bands I've seen in a few years, and I was wholly impressed with both them and DTP. Atlas Moth would have been a better time to burn one than gojira, but they were pretty alright, little too drone for me.

  Okay okay maybe "pretentious prick" is a bit much. He's a huge fuckin weirdo, and I love that. Definitely looking forward to his next show.

The show starts at 8pm (according to website), so I'll be at Fat Angel from 6pm to get something to eat.

They don't take reservations so whoever gets there first please grab a space. After people have had food, if there is time, we could go elsewhere for a drink before the show.

If you want my number, in case you can't find the group, send me a private message.

See you all tomorrow \m/

  Awesome! I'll try to make it asap. We've been preparing for trial these past couple of weeks and it's been tough getting out of work on time. *sad [and tired] face*

  On second thoughts 6pm is a bit early. I'll be at Fat Angel at 6.30pm instead.

Wow, this is turning into a big group! If anyone's interested in meeting up for a drink before the show, I've been wanting to check out The Social Study on Geary. There's also Fat Angel on O'Farrell, but that place gets crowded. See ya next week!
