Gaytheist, LIVE!
(Featuring a Live Performance by local boys Gaytheist, hosted by Jonathon Boober, engineered by myself, including a short interview near the end, as they promote their new record Hold Me… But Not So Tight, out now on Good To Die Records.)

Holy Crap!  Gaytheist!  And I got to record them!  If you don’t already know them, then the metal fan inside of you is frowning furiously, sad that you would deprive him of such excellent music.  I’ve been a fan of these guys since my friend, The Judge, took me to see them at Rontoms.  They so completely blew me away, that I actually went and saw them again – later that same day! – at The People’s Sandwich Shop.  While there are a number of reference points that are completely up my ally, their sound is unique, their style is impeccable, and their songs are miniature metal narratives, complete in the form, and brilliant in their execution.

I’ve been grooving on their new record, Hold Me… But Not So Tight, which comes out on Tuesday, but you can hear them play live selections from it, and a number of their other excellent tunes, in this performance, hosted by Jonathon Boober.  As we attempt to recreate the magic we had during our infamous RABBITS show from way-back-when, we also get a chance to hang out with some stand-up gents. If you like what you hear, then you should check out their series of album release shows, starting with a performance of 22 May 2013 at The White Owl Social Club.  Boober did a fantastic job of holding down the show, and I was really excited to be able to run sound for these guys.  A video of their performance is also forthcoming.

Stay tuned, as this was just a fraction of the radio we did yesterday.  Enjoy!
