Blackholicus - Emo's, Austin TX - September 9, 2010


[from Austin, TX] Blackholicus had everything Faceblaster had lacked: creative interesting loops and variations in timing WITH hard complex guitar work – incredibly un-boring – very Iron Maiden – the bald fellow with the tufts of hair was very familiar to me but I couldn’t place him – the lead singer was a short solid woman with hipster-hippie stylings, with a piece-y haircut and big feathery earrings – she came out in knee-length black shorts and a cherry colored tank top – I appreciated her seeming statement that you don’t have to look the part to feel it, but mostly I felt bad for all the metalheads in the audience who were forced to hear a very high quality version of their music coming out of a person like her – it would have been decent of her to put on a little black, look a little less clean,… - ironically, a short solid woman looking very much like her joined me in the elevator the next day at work – I tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she was in a band and she sneered, “Nobody ever recognizes me, at least not here.” – even if she’s snotty, I definitely recommend this band.
