Two shows to add:

Thursday, May 29th:

Outer Circle
Peter J. Woods
Climax Denial
This Specific Dream

At the Borg Ward

Outer Circle was pretty great. Sort of a drone/stoner metal group, almost instrumental. I say almost instrumental, as they had about two lines of lyrics in the song they played. It sounded ****ing stupid, and was completely unnecessary.

Peter J. Woods put on another great set. He utilized a couple of symbols for his main sounds, and worked with pedals and whatnot from there. My only complaint is agains myself, as I stood way too close to one of the stacks, and my hearing suffered for a bit.

Climax Denial, another noise act, wasn't even scheduled to play, but one of the other acts canceled, and he was willing to play on short notice. Good set, nothing remarkable or memorable about it.

This Specific Dream could go down as my favorite group of the night. They reminded me of Dub Trio, and if you know me, you know I want to have sex with the entirety of Dub Trio (you know, in a totally heterosexual way). The only differences were: 1. They didn't play Dub, and 2. There were four of them. Good experimental, instrumental stuff though.

Second Show

Buckethead
That 1 Guy

Riversplash Festival
Pere Marquette Park

****ing sweet. Like, if I could take a panda bear ****ing a unicorn, and put it into musical form, this would be it. That 1 Guy is really cool, utilizing The Magical Pipe, the Magical Saw, and The Magical Boot amongst other cool instruments in his one man band show.

Buckethead was Buckethead. Ridiculous guitar player, great dancer. He messed up a couple of times, but it's forgivable as he teased Fleetwood Mac. That's right. He teased Fleetwood Mac. There was a fireworks show, which was cool. Best thing: it was a free show.
