my apologies also to the german band faux pas, who have to see my face plasted around last.fm while they are trying to promote their own gigs. i love that you can listen to a little playlist at last.fm, sampling the various metal bands playing at rock 4 roots, and in the middle of all that you’ve got “for the trees” wedged in there. if i ever go to nauen, someone in a dark trenchcoat with long hair is gonna recognise my face and bash it in.

but hey, looks like its gonna be a good show. germany’s number one exponents of folk-metal, XIV Dark Centuries, are going to be there:

meanwhile, if you are in melbourne and are looking for somewhere to go tonight, i highly recommend checking out pikelet at the tote in collingwood. also playing are extreme wheeze, charge group, the twerps, and you’ll also see me and dave from to and fro there making between-band song selections.
