The date was November 17, 2008, and Deerhunter were in Minneapolis with their friends in Times New Viking and Disappears to play a blissful set at the Triple Rock. I was there to witness the magic and see how huge Deerhunter really sound in person. Here are some photos that I took during the night; click on one to access the whole photo album.
Can any of us really believe that it has already been 5 years since our friends in Burnt By The Sun presented us with some new music? If you’re not aware of the last several years of breakup rumors and lengthy member searches, forget about it; there’s no need to be sad, because as far as you’ll ever know, all is well in the realm of BBTS. The band is back, revitalized and more determined than ever; and they just posted a new demo called “F-UNIT” online from their forthcoming album Heart Of Darkness!
Although they has been pretty quiet for the half a decade, audibly the band really hasn’t lost any steam. In fact, it would even be hard to say that the rest of the metal scene has caught up with Burnt By The Sun at all during the last few years. I’m still spinning Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution and The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good quite often, and in all honestly, they sound more progressive (and awesome!) than 90% of the metal that’s been released since they dropped their last album. Personally, I can’t wait for the new release any sooner. The new track reunites us with with the BBTS we all remember and love exactly where we left off – feeling scared for our lives.
Head over to their official myspace to have a listen to what’s to come!
