Wednesday December 7 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 The Well www.facebook.com/thewellband/ doom psychedelic metal stoner Beastmaker www.facebook.com/Beastmaker/ doom metal psychedlic stoner R.I.P. www.facebook.com/R.I.P.P.D.X/ doom proto-metal DJ Rob Metal metal DJ The Well Ian Graham, Lisa Alley, Jason Sullivan -from Austin, TX -Ian's reclusive and despondent, Lisa wears red lipstick, and Jason is the canary in the coal mine. Austin-based power trio The Well redefine heavy rock by merging massive riffs with sophisticated melodies. Their progressive sound stems from a nostalgic desire to blend different musical styles as diversified as Joy Division to Blue Cheer. The group blossomed when guitarist/vocalist Ian Graham was fired from his previous band. Determined to redirect his musical focus, Graham hooked up with bassist Lisa Alley and the two began picking out riffs in their east-side garage. Rounding out their sound, they stole drummer Jason Sullivan from Graham’s old band in a tale of vengeance and karma. His solid groove and reckless tribal beat gave the three-piece their ideal primal attack. Due to their psychedelic doom edge, The Well reap comparisons to Black Sabbath, Sleep, Electric Wizard and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. As fans of cult horror films, they embrace the sinister, revel in dark themes and find inspiration in haunting echoes. The dual vocals of Graham and Alley evoke an ancient language that carries a mystic spell. Daunting rhythms and heavy guitars often accentuate their chilling chants. Beastmaker Trevor William Church - Guitar, Vocals... Andres Alejandro Saldate (Juan Bonham) - Drums.. John Tucker - Bass -from Fresno, CA stoned out sabbath groove. R.I.P. -from Portland, OR -After several years of hammering the west coast with the blunt scythe of street-doom, R.I.P. finally committed to tape an introductory will and testament for the rest of the world to tremble to. “In the Wind” closes the casket on the trends and exhumes the notion that doom isn’t about how slow and de-tuned you can play, but about fear, death, leather and playing as heavy as possible. DJ Rob Metal DJ Rob Metal -from San Francisco, CA -* A Vinyl Junkie and Purveyor of Extreme Metal ,Stoner Rock and the rest of the Dysfunctional Family Tree. * May have been seen at thee Parkside, The Knockout, The Fillmore, and various other venues who cater to the genre.
