@ The Fire [directions]

w/ Romance Is Born, Red Orange Morning and Antler
9:00pm; $7

This weekend saw what was meant to be The Blessed‘s last performance together along with the release of their final album Rise of the Blessed Cult. Things got a little out of hand with the crowd and the show had to be shut down.

Not wanting to go out like that, The Blessed will be scheduling a “make-up” last show sometime later in the Summer, so if you missed it – no, you didn’t. In the meantime, enjoy some video footage from the night. This one includes a guest appearance from yours truly.

The Blessed’s new album Rise of the Blessed Cult will be released in strictly limited quantities at this show along with their previous release Hail to the Carrion King and t-shirts. Come out and enjoy.

Allmusic.com has added a few new words on The Silence Kit‘s latest album Dislocations. Check it out here!

What a wild time! Even operating at only 80% Blessed for most of their set, this was a great show.  Look for more dates now that everyone is back and healthy again.

The Silence Kit‘s new album Dislocations has made it’s way into some people’s ears and they’ve had good things to say about it.

“…we’ll be damned if “Dislocations” isn’t a fine listen when it comes down to the layering of guitar melodies (especially when heard on rad opener “Let There Be No Hurt”), and we love the light they brought in on the songwriting for “The Magician”.”
-Girl About Town, February 23rd, 2010

“…the artful arrangements, stark guitars and charismatic vocals recall Joy Division or The Cure…Dislocations is the band’s boldest, most cohesive statement so far.”
-Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia City Paper, February 24th, 2010
