TRIAC, CURANDERA, and BACKSLIDER rip it up tonight! KHANN, MOCKINGBIRD Tuesday!

Baltimore power violence grindblasters TRIAC have been out on the road the last two weeks with Brooklyn's own CURANDERA, pummeling the east coast. They finish the excursion off tonight at The Acheron along with Philly's BACKSLIDER. An all out assault that will be over in a flash, so get there early not to miss anything.  8pm just $6 ALL AGES

Tomorrow night (8/21) brings the stench-ridden hand of doom. OILTANKER from connecticut have two blistering EPs of metalcrust that rival the best around. They're touring with fellow yankees ATTENTAT, a punishing battery of kang beat. Richmond's WINDHAND delivers the serious heaviness, though. Best described as "Like knocking back a bottle of whiskey with Wino at a funeral", these southern folks share members with MIGHT COULD and FACE DOWN IN SHIT. please bring ear protection.  Also with DRAIZE and BLACK WING. 8pm $8 ALL AGES

Orlando's KHANN have an axe to grind with everything. These Floridian vegans throw you back and forth between Isis-esque titanism and Page99's furious spasms on their Metal Blade Debut, Tofutopia. They meet up here at the Acheron to join Ohio metal warriors MOCKINGBIRD and BEFORE THE EYEWALL, and New Jersey barbarians DIVIDER. Tuesday August 23rd 8pm ALL AGES. Presented by City Lights.
