Wetnurse

The first half of the BV-BBG showcase at Europa on 6/14 featured some excellent performances by the always dependable Wetnurse, “white-metallers” Liturgy, the intense weed-doom of Cough, galloping crusty-thunder of Howl, and sludgy-punk of Philly’s Javelina. Though some equipment issues on the 2nd floor stage caused timing issues which ultimately led to both floors playing at virtually the same time, I managed to catch at least half of every set at Europa. Of what I saw, a few highlights come to mind:

– Smiles throughout the room watching wide-eyed madman Eugene of Wetnurse
– A Javelina encore (Yes, they are that good).
– Liturgy‘s dizzying black metal time changes
– Cough vibrating my entire body.
– T-Roy of Sourvein standing with his fist in the air during Howl.
