Comments
A) The seat at the end of the bar is mine.
B) Thou are one of my favourite discoveries of recent years. I love the vocalist, especially.
C) If there's a saloon with a better piano roll, I'd like to know about it.
Are you familiar with Gilead Media (http://www.gileadmedia.net/)? Adam was actually the one that put me onto Thou, when I was purchasing a bunch of Ash Borer, Panopticon and something else that totally escapes me now. He carries heaps of Thou merch and is usually their vinyl distro of choice. He carries a heap of awesome stuff fullstop, and at excellent prices, plus a great place to discover newer stuff.
I think it was The Body and Wreck and Reference i was buying as well.
No I hadn't... cheers! I now see where you got that lineup you posted yesterday, too! I see a lot of bands there that I love, and quite a few I will have to check out.
