Spent the weekend in Winston Salem. Saw Maseratti/All Astronauts play
at ps211.org. Then a party
at D & M’s place. Then caught snapcase at Lincoln Theatre
last night.

Maserratti were pretty good. About equal parts shoegaze,
math rock, and post-rock. Seemed to be pretty cool
guys as well.

All Astronauts were very good, though they tended to
blather on a bit long between songs (but then, they
are pretty close to the ps211 house band and had
mostly friends there). Fred (the drummer, formerly
of ) is insane and really makes the band. Chuckle.

Snapcase was mediocre. It’s hard for metal/hardcore bands
to impress me much anymore. They also seem to have lost
a lot of rawness and intensity since I last saw them probabaly
5 years ago. Lincoln Theatre looks to be a pretty nice venue
though.
