OUTERNATIONAL finishes their "Todos Somos Ilegales" tour at the Acheron!

2012-02-04T14:43:00.000-08:00

We are super stoked to announce that NY punk pop revolutionaries OUTERNATIONAL will be finishing their US tour right on our stage for a rare ALL AGES performance. Their most recent record "Todos Somos Ilegales" features Chad Smith and Tom Morello! whoa! Big time!

HOLY SHIT WE MADE THE TIMES!!

2012-01-23T09:40:00.000-08:00

We are so very culturally important. And FINALLY the Old Gray Lady took notice. Friday's ALL PIGS MUST DIE show, also featuring SEVEN SISTERS OF SLEEP, LOW PLACES, and GRUDGES, was featured in today's New York Times. The show, by the way, was utterly fantastic. Killer show, killer crowd, and a killer job by the one and only Rich Mother Fuckin Hall.

This weekend, after some more renovations, we have KICKING SPIT / NUCLEAR SANTACLAUST / ARTIFICIAL LIMBS / AIN'T RIGHTS Friday, ACID PROBLEM / SYPHILITIC LUST / HERZOG RISING Saturday, and DAYLIGHT Sunday.

THANKS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER!

2011-09-20T12:55:00.000-07:00

This past Friday, BEER & CABLE, AGITATOR, WORLD WAR IX, MISCEGENATOR, and ROTTER temaed up to play a show solely to raise money for the Acheron, helping to pay the large back rent debt and for some upcoming and much-needed renovations to the space. As some of you know, this summer has been really hard on us, with plumbing and sewer issues, raised rent, and low sales threatening to bring us the the brink of shuttering the place up. But we're searching hard for solutions. Lots of friends have come to our aid, booking fundraiser shows and parties. We will also be launching a kickstarter page this week so that those of you unable to attend can give whatever you can as well. The money you pledge will go toward paying down the back rent debt, replacing and repairing broken equipment, and renovating the space to fit more people more comfortably, and making the experience of seeing orplaying a show here ever better.

Thanks a ton to the bands that played, especially to BEER & CABLE for setting it up and showing time and again why they're the best punk band in New York, and HUGE THANKS to all the people who showed up and gave til it hurt...their heads the next morning!

Next The next fundraiser show will be October 28th with NATUR, HESSIAN, and PILGRIM. Sure to be a rager!

Not fucking dying! Not fucking dead!

Finally! We've been trying to get our good buddy and songwriter extrordinaire FLETCHER C JOHNSON to play at the Acheron since we opened, and at long last he's gonna do it this coming Wednesday, April 20th. Fletcher's hooky, catchy, bouncy folk pop is infectious to say the least, and we're ecstatic he's gonna play a show for us. And just as hard to get on our stage, but equally as amazing is THE GODDAMN RATTLESNAKE, featuring members of ACID TIGER and SEXY CRIMES. Raw ass honkey tonk.

2011-03-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

James at City Lights brings us another night of circle-pitting, floor-punching mayhem. LA's ALPHA & OMEGA (not to be confused with the sassy-haired christian emo sissies from jersey) evoke the best parts of classic NYHC with a modern hardcore vibe. The comparisons to fellow Angelinos TERROR are unmistakable. Put your hoods up and X up your hands (not too much though, we think you look better when you're drunk) for this rager. Also appearing are midwest mosh maniacs EXPIRE, TAKE OFFENSE, LEFT ALIVE, and CUT YOUR TEETH.

Wed, March 30th 8pm ALL AGES

and then on friday...

Providence's THE BODY are among our favorite bands to see live. ever. This will be their 3rd time gracing our stage, and I can't tell you how excited I am. Thunderous. Haunting. Explosive. This southern transplanted duo of destruction wage war on your soul and your ears. And if that's not enough...

Fucking WHITEHORSE are playing as well!! Melbourne's monolithic metal titans play their penultimate show of a full US tour, and I can't imagine a better place to play. These guys have been laying waste to the Aussie coast and the world for 7 years, and this is my personal first chance to see them. what a gig this will be. And not to be dismissed, Brooklyn psychdoomers and personal fave of mine BAD DREAM will be opening this show, as UNEARTHLY TRANCE has recently announced they will no longer be playing live. Stick around too, as Shanna and maybe some guests will be DJing a doomerific afterparty next door at the Anchored Inn!

Norwegian noise chaos ARABROT and WIZARD RIFLE SATURDAY!!!

2011-03-24T08:10:00.000-07:00

Most people equate norwegian metal with the black metal scene, but that means they're missing out on bands like ARABROT. to call them technical isn't quite accurate, nor is calling them noise. They're somewhere in between, existing in a realm of chaos and psychosis by their lonesome. They recently exposed themselves to the SXSW crowd, but now WE get them this sunday, along with portland crazy people and genius band namers WIZARD RIFLE.

this post may mke no sense, it's 10 in the morning and I'm drunk. come to this show. it will rip.

VAMPILLIA / FASHION WEEK tonight!! CAPSULE friday and NUNSLAUGHTER SATURDAY

2011-03-22T14:16:00.000-07:00

March has indeed been kind to us. Not only do we have our bathrooms back (finally! jesus!) but we also have NON STOP KILLER SHOWS! Tonight we have a last-minute relocation of the VAMPILLIA and FASHION WEEK show. VAMPILLIA THE BRUTAL ORCHESTRA hail from Japan, and are purveyors of some of the most bizarre experimental soundtrack that you could think to label as music. Their recent 2 track album "Alchemic Heart" assaults the listener with strange and esoteric noises, screams and sirens reminiscent of the Boredoms. This show will be an all out attack on your senses.
Tonight! tuesday march 22nd doors 8pm $8 ALL AGES

Hailing from Miami, CAPSULE have been one of my personal favorites for a while. I had the pleasure of playing with them last year at the Cake Shop, but I'm more stoked, obviously, to have them here at the Acheron. To call them post-hardcore may be accurate, but doesn't do justice to the layered, brutal energy that hits you when you hear these guys play. Appearing with BLACK KITES, DIVORCE MONEY, and CLOSED//MOUTH

Friday, March 25th 8pm doors $8 ALL AGES

and finally, oh yes. oh fuck yes. NUNSLAUGHTER. In their first New York appearance in 10 years, the unholy goatfuckers from the midwest are coming here to rip you a new asshole. I really need say nothing more. If you miss this you are not metal.

Saturday, March 26th 7pm doors $15 ALL AGES

THERE ARE NO PRESALE TICKETS FOR THIS SHOW. SHOW UP EARLY IF YOU WANT TO GET IN AS THIS WILL CERTAINLY SELL OUT.

MISS SHEVAUGHN & YUMA WRAY / YOUNG BEAR / CLOAKED coming Tuesday

2011-03-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

Old friends of the house, Miss Shevaughn & Yuma Wray are a Chicago duo of incredible talent and ablity. Utilizing an americana arsenal of instrumentation - from banjo and guitar to keyboard, single kick drum and some manner of finger chime - these two put forth some of the most heart-wrenching, dark songwriting I've heard in a long time. We've coupled them with Northwest electro-ambient instrumentalist Young Bear - whose sonic textures wrap you up like a snuggy of drug-addled hums and whirs, and also with Brooklyn minimalists Cloaked, also know colloquially as the Montana Masback Mystical Experience. This side project of Tournament explores the more psychedelic areas the noise-rockers felt have been treading through over the past couple years. Come down and enjoy one of our rare quieter nights.

This Tuesday, March 15th at 8pm. $8 ALL AGES

If you missed the sonic boom that was the LORD BY FIRE / WINDHAND / BAD DREAM show this past Saturday, well, you probably still have your hearing, but you weren't having fun, that's for sure. and now this Saturday, we've got Norwegian satanic doom lords ALTAAR sharing the stage with fellow norsk noisemakers DEATHCRUSH and New York doompsych warlords OCCULTATION.

And as if that wasnt enough, the bill is rounded out by our favorite local psychedelic warlords BAD DREAM. You could also come out to the Anchored Inn tonight, Thursday, and listen to BAD DREAM drummer Shanna White rip killer tunes! make a weekend of it!!

NUN FUCKING SLAUGHTER!!!!!

2011-02-23T08:07:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it. It's nearly impossible. After 10 long years, the almighty NUNSLAUGHTER is returning to New York. The most prolific, sacrilegious, unholy battalion of death dealers is coming to OUR STAGE!!! Infernal hails to Ed at Wendigo for making this happen. And if that's not enough, they're sharing the stage with DISMA and MUTANT SUPREMACY.

Only sissies stay home in the snow and cold. The TRUE punks and thrashers come out for gigs like this one! Boston's PHANTOM GLUE decimate with plodding doom riffage and huge guitar wailing, akin to the likes of HIGH ON FIRE and ENTOMBED. Be sure to pick up their recent eponymous LP, recorded by the one and only Kurt Ballou and Godcity Studios. Of course our favorite local grindmasters DEFEATIST round out the bill, along with prog-grinders CASTAVET, and new post-thrashers XADDAX. no matter what you've got going on tonight, this is going to be better. 8pm ALL AGES

and tomorrow, Qubecois hardcore quintet TRIGGER EFFECT batter the Acheron with their pummeling riffs, brutal breakdowns, and sing alongs, oh the sing alongs. Brooklyn pop punkers CROWS ON VULTURES and LEFT ALIVE also fight to get your feet moving. 8pm ALL AGES

Get psyched for CREEPOID, NOTHING, and PASSIVE AGGRESSOR Tonight!

2011-01-15T13:00:00.000-08:00

Philly lo-fi psych folkers CREEPOID jammed out at LuLu's last night with some of our favorite locals, including BAD DREAM, FLETCHER C JOHNSON, and the newly minted THE MONTANA MASBACK MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE, but we get them tonight with fellow Philadelphians NOTHING, who offer some dark, shoegazey deathrock-influenced fuzz, and Brooklyn noise rockers PASSIVE AGGRESSOR. Trip out with us tonight at 8 for just 6 bucks!

and if we're all very lucky, we may have a special surprise later on in the evening. Stay tuned to find out!

here's NOTHING'S video for "Last Day in Bouville"

TOXIC HOLOCAUST TONIGHT, Mutilation Rites/Sarcous just added!

2011-01-12T08:25:00.000-08:00

Don't let the snow keep you at bay, NUCLEAR WINTER OF HELL gig will still be raging! Tonight at 8 with MORTALS and OMINOUS ORDER of FILTHY MONGRELS. $10 gets you in. DO IT!!!

also, we've just announced MUTILATION RITES, SARCOUS, NIGHTLORE, and SHIRO ISHII for Thursday, January 27th. This will be a crazed night of blackened mayhem!

MORTALS added to TOXIC HOLOCAUST gig next Wednesday!

2011-01-06T13:12:00.000-08:00

Brooklyn's MORTALS have just been added to next Wednesday the 12th's show with TOXIC HOLOCAUST. Need I really say more? See you there!!

STONE RIFFAGE!!! OLDE GROWTH / LOST COVES / BOT Tonight!

2011-01-05T11:34:00.000-08:00

While we're appropriately bummed that our buddies BAD DREAM had to cancel tonight's gig, you can't stop this train in motion! OLDE GROWTH are a two-piece from boston who could be simply described as stoner doom, but that really wouldn't do them justice. Their new eponymous LP was years in the making, and the attention shows. Comparisons to Electric Wizard abound, but I hear as much Melvins in there as EW and Goatsnake. Besides, any band who has a 3-part LOTR opus on their album is really better than ok by me.

Check them out TONIGHT, January 5th. 8pm $8 All Ages.

KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR

2011-01-03T07:56:00.000-08:00

Here are some kill flyers!

Top 10 shows at the Acheron for 2010

2010-12-23T11:59:00.000-08:00

Although I'd always want to say that every show we got to have this year was awesome, there were definitely a few that really stood out. Before I get into this, I want to thank all the promoters, bands, and everybody who's come out to all our shows for really making it happen this year. HAILS!!

that said, here are my 10 favorite shows we did this year:

1) AGE / HELLSHOCK / KAKKA HATA 77 / ACID REFLUX - This show was exactly why we have bands play. Super late. Super drunk. Super fucking party. Over 100 kids showed up after the Knitting Factory gig to see a show that started at 2 in the morning! Crazy night for fucker!

2) WORMROT / MUTANT SUPREMACY / DEFEATIST / CURANDERA / PSYCHIC LIMB - Holy shit this was amazing. The last show of WORMROT'S first US tour and they made it count. Thanks a ton to Brooklyn Vegan and 1000 Knives for making this happen!

3) INNUMERABLE FORMS / MAMMOTH GRINDER / NAUGHTY GIRLS - there's a reason these guys are coming back this year. Unbelievable brutality. Pure hatred condensed into pummeling riffs.

4) TRASH TALK / LA DISPUTE / CEREBRAL BALLZY / PSYCHIC LIMB - this was one of our very first shows, and boy did we kick it off with a BANG! 300 kids showed up out of nowhere and took over. Trash Talk put on one of the most punishing live sets in modern hardcore, and they did not disappoint. Also, this was the first time I got to witness the fury of Psychic Limb, and I have not forgotten.

5) AUSTIN LUCAS / DAMIEN SUOMI - I've known Austin for a number of years, but primarily as the guitar player in the international crust powerhouse GUIDED CRADLE. How could I have known that he also writes and plays the most heartbreaking, most powerful country & folk music I've heard in a decade? This guy blew me away and to this moment I listen to his newest album "Somebody Loves You" daily.

6) THE BODY / ATAKKE / BAD DREAM / CURANDERA - holy fucking noise. What can you say about duo who is louder than EVERY OTHER BAND YOU'VE EVER HEARD. The Body destroyed me. And they're coming back in April with WHITE HORSE and UNEARTHLY TRANCE. Get stoked!

7) SHITSTORM / POLLUTION / CURANDERA / DIVORCE MONEY - Who could argue with members of TORCHE and CAPSULE playing amazing grind? This band destroyed for a blistering 15 minute set. I could have watched them all day. Not to diminish POLLUTION, who put out one of the best LPs of the year, and killed it on our stage 4 times this year.

8) WOLVSERPENT / PHARAOH / ARCHON - soul crushing funeral doom. Cinematic. Operatic. Despair-inducing. Boise's WOLVSERPENT was another amazing surprise. Their dark, haunting 30 minute eponymous opus stayed with me for weeks.

9) EASY ACTION / PREGNANT / THE MEN - dirty. but in just the right way. That's the only way to describe Detroit's EASY ACTION . They rocked out as hard as i've ever seen anyone, and they did it as drunk as i've seen anyone. what a blowout.

10) BEER & CABLE / HELLBENT HOOKER / BORN LOOSE / UNSCATHED - Beer & Cable have been without a doubt my favorite punk band in NYC for some time. Their irreverent, silly, and stop-on-a-dime hardcore is so much fun you can't contain yourself. Also T-Bone had his dick out the entire HELLBENT HOOKER set. So there are no pictures. Just imagine that for yourself.

It's been too long...

2010-11-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

...since I've had a chance to update the blog, so let's get back down to business! Due to some unfortunate circumstances, This Saturday's double header is cancelled. But fear not! We've got a hell of a lineup this week starting with Sunday.

Listen Listen from Houston play haunting, lonely, memorial hymns baked by the Texas sun and aged by the dust of the plains. Their last LP, "Hymns from Rhodesia" made the top lists of 2009 by everyone from bloggers to Rolling Stone. Their new album, "The Dog" delivers more acheful country / folk tinged with gospel and even some experimentation into more modern sounds. Joining them this Sunday are Chicago's Conductive Alliance, who's recent EP "Water Glyphs" has received critical acclaim over the last year; and Brooklyn indie faves Bad Credit No Credit and Binary Marketing Show.

Copenhagen's HJERTESTOP were here a couple years ago, and tore the charleston apart. This year we're lucky enough to have them at the Acheron, sharing the stage with Brooklyn rippers NIGHT BIRDS and CERVIX, who just opened for AGE and HELLSHOCK at the Knitting Factory Saturday night. This one should really not be missed!

James's Pop punk weekend for the kids! AFTER THE FALL / THE MENZINGERS

2010-10-19T10:10:00.000-07:00

So we can't be all "doom and gloom" all the time, can we? We've had a great run over the last few weeks with THRONES, WOLVSERPENT, NATUR, WORMROT and LITURGY, but maybe we should cheer up a little... So our buddy James at CITY LIGHTS brought us a couple of big time pop punk and hardcore shows this weekend to get the kids who actually don't wear black all the time:

AFTER THE FALL from Albany just released their third LP, ERADICATION on MIGHTIER THAN SWORD Records, and the kids have been going crazy for it. Similar to Propagandhi or Strike Anywhere, AFTER THE FALL play fast, politicized punk that rides the line between hardcore and pop-punk. Just pogo the shit out of this.

Then on Sunday, we've got a brutal Nor-Easter coming down from Maine. Just like Old Man Winter, Portland's OUTBREAK is an unforgiving blast of ice-cold harshness that would kill a weaker person. Fast, Angry, and out of control, OUTBREAK would be likely to destroy our fair space if we hadn't just recently reinforced the walls. Get ready for moshtastic good time.

Saturday, Oct 2 8pm Doors

Kowloon Walled City @ Cakeshop

Sunday, Oct 3rd 8pm Doors.


WormRot

And for those who like their music slow, crushing, and overflowing with despair, fear not! (or rather, no more than normal) Tuesday, the Boise duo WOLVSERPENT play this coming Tuesday to steamroll over your spirit. Aiding in the bleakness are Brooklyn doomlords ARCHON (hopefully you saw them with UNEARTHLY TRANCE and COFFINWORM last month) and New Jersey cryptkeepers PHARAOH. Oh the autumn, how I enjoy the falling leaves, fog, and soul-crushing doom as the all life leaves the earth. Tuesday, Oct 5th 8pm Doors.

and since we don't have a gig tonight, I'll see y'all at BUZZOV*EN!!!

Tomorrow night we are happy to host again REBELS WITHOUT APPLAUSE Free standup comedy. We're especially stoked because one of our favorite local comics MATT McCARTHY is headlining! If you don't know his name off the top of your head, LEARN IT because you'll want to see him at every appearance. He's had his own tv specials, released a CD, had a run on his own television series, and is known all over New York as "the cable guy" on those Verizon commercials. None of that compares, however, to when you just give the guy a mic and let him run with it. We've also got JORDAN HUBERT, HEATHER FINK, MAX BOYAJIAN, and JHOEL WALKOWSKI performing, and the whole thing is hosted by the dark and lovely STEPHEN BIANCHI. Not a night to miss!

2010-09-10T12:16:00.000-07:00

Legendary Virginia Death Metallers DECEASED have officially been playing for 25 years. In that time they have maintained everything that is worthy of praise in the metal world: An unholy stream of brutal albums, a workaholic attitude toward writing, recording, and especially playing, and an unmatched performance style. Band founder King Fowley is a force to be reckoned with, both physically and as a stalwart of the east coast death metal scene. We're really excited to host these titans as they celebrate 25 years of brutality. Also on the bill are Brooklyn party thrashers VERMEFUG, UNDIVIDED, and GROTSQUE EUPHORIA.

JULIAN McCULLOUGH has appeared in his own Comedy Central special, as well as having a recurring role in the hit IFC show Z-ROCK.

MIKE LAWRENCE is one of the top new faces at this year's JUST FOR LAUGHS fest in Montreal. He's been around the NY scene for a few years and has deservedly gathered quite a following.

We are super stoked to finally get to announce this show. Singapore's WORMROT play the most amazing straightforward grindcore there is. No hyperblast, no goregrind foolishness. Just perfectly executed grindcore, the way it was meant to be played. Brings to mind the original british masters like NAPALM DEATH or EXTREME NOISE TERROR. This is their first US tour, and despite some visa problems which prevent them from playing Santos' Party House tonight, the tour will start this weekend, and we get them for their last date. Filling out the bill is an all-star cast of New York deathgrinders: MUTANT SUPREMACY, DEFEATIST, PSYCHIC LIMB, and CURANDERA. Mark your calendars, and do NOT miss this show.

KHANN / MOCKINGBIRD tonight! STARKWEATHER Saturday!

2010-08-24T09:00:00.000-07:00

From Sludgeswamp.com

For those of you that don't know, Khann play a sort of sludge/grind that's growing increasingly popular these days. There are various possible descriptions: Isis with more anger, Goatsblood with less negativity, Mastodon with less sucking, etc. Perhaps the best parallel would be with Sweden's Crowpath; there seems to be a lot of similarity to that group's 'Son Of Sulfur' release. However, Khann is pretty unique in their own right. Tempos frequently swing from blistering grindcore to ultra-slow sludge on a dime, and each performer seems to play their respective instruments and scream their individual lyrics in a particularly (well, not enthusiastic) insistent manner. Above and beyond this, there's a sense of melody that seems more developed than your average grindy sludgy corey whatever band that makes the music actually enjoyable to listen to on its own right, as opposed to through a lens of progressiveness. Khann seems to be at their best when they're venturing into post-hardcore or whatever you want to call it Isis-style territory. It's subtle, but most certainly there on songs like 'Black Water Permiates', 'Leeches', or, the best track on the demo, 'Squall'. If you can let yourself soak in this moments which seem to represent Pelican listening to too much Napalm Death, then you'll be faced with easily the best and most emotional (though I'm sure they'd hate that descriptor) parts of this release. Hell, I'd even describe those parts as sublime. The noisy parts are all well and good, but if you look at the songs as being structured in an almost post-rock way (with the noisy parts as the instrumental sections and the emotional parts as the climaxes), the overall feel of the music is greatly improved. Flaws? Well, it's pretty damned inconsistent, to be honest. I'd say the music jumps around a little too much, but of course this is simply a matter of taste more than any objective critique. It seems that certain songs on here are designed to fit some sort of perceived requirement for 'brutal' music; the gap between tracks like 'Squall' and the lesser ones like the title track is just too damned big to ignore. Luckily, the good parts are so damned good that you can easily ignore the less pleasant portions and just bask in the ones that work so flawlessly. I'd say that if Khann concentrated on tracks such as 'Squall' (which really seems to represent their personal style), they could be one of the premier bands in the... whatever, I'm not going to bother to find a genre, scene. So, 'Tofutopia' generally works out with more hits than misses, much to my pleasure. Check it out here and check them out live; I certainly will be. (Review from: grindingtheapparatus.net).

WHAT A WEEKEND!! INNUMERABLE FORMS/MAMMOTH GRINDER Tonight! COGNITIVE DISSONANCE Tomorrow! GHASTLY CITY SLEEP, GRAY GHOST also!!

2010-07-29T08:26:00.000-07:00

I am so effing stoked for this weekend. Starting tonight with the un-fuckwithable INNUMERABLE FORMS show with Montreal hardcore punkers NAUGHTY GIRLS and Austin juggernaut MAMMOTH GRINDER!!! opening the show is LONGPIGS, who rip. Now I know there's some other death metal show tonight, but this one is the one to be at, hands down. No bald old fat dudes with bad breath sucking up the air. just pure, unadulterated brutality.

And as if that's not enough, Minneapolis metal-crusters COGNITIVE DISSONANCE crush the apocalytic wastes on Friday night, alongside DODWORTH, THE CREDENTIALS, and NEW CREASES. Plus, it's Chloe Puke's Birthday, so come party!

Saturday the 31st we celebrate the release of GHASTLY CITY SLEEP's new LP with a killer indie lineup featuring heart-wrenching songstress IVANA XL, Detroit indie-soul sensations THE SUMMER PLEDGE, and lo-fi fruit-wearer LOST BOY. And be careful, the block will be hosting a water-balloon bbq all day, so the likelihood of aquatic assault is real!

Finally, Sunday brings Atlanta post-hardcore monsters GRAY GHOST and their own sludgy, chaotic madness to our stage. Bandmates UNREAL CITY and New Jersey hardcore bruisers OMINOUS ORDER OF FILTHY MONGRELS fill out the bill. crushing riffs and maddening blasts are the order of the day.

2010-07-20T14:41:00.000-07:00

This weekend the fun don't stop. Thursday we've got the pummeling sludge of Providence's deadly duo THE BODY, sharing the stage with ATAKKE, BAD DREAM, and newcomers CURANDERA, featuring members of MUTILATION RITES, and ASRA. Brooooooootal!

Then the party don't stop, when Dance-punkers GUTS FOR GARTERS mash it up on Friday with party punks SEXY CRIMES and stoners MARCHING TEETH. Fun times start off with WHITE TRENDS. time to go!

Next week is a tribute to all things brutal with INNUMERABLE FORMS/NAUGHTY GIRLS/MAMMOTH GRINDER/LONGPIGS on thursday, minneapolis crusters COGNITIVE DISSONANCE Friday, PSYCHIC LIMB and GHASTLY CITY SLEEP's Record release party on saturday, and finishing it off with TOURNAMENT and GRAY GHOST sunday! can you handle it?

2010-07-14T09:14:00.000-07:00

Just in case the sheer brutality of INNUMERABLE FORMS isn't enough for you, we've just added Austin brutarians MAMMOTH GRINDER to the bill, as well as Brooklyn weirdo favorites LONGPIGS. I cannot wait for this one!

THE BODY Invades Brooklyn Again!

2010-07-08T12:58:00.000-07:00

Providence demonic duo of doom THE BODY will be gracing our fair borough again on July 22nd. Last time they came through brooklyn was last fall with fellow terrible twosome DARK CASTLE, who will be playing with our neighbors HULL this Friday at Webster Hall. This time it's a killer bill with some jerks called ATAKKE, BAD DREAM - The Acheron's official new favorite locals, and new radicals CURANDERA, featuring members of TOURNAMENT and MUTILATION RITES. Wear light shoes, cause this is gonna be HEAVY!!!

INNUMERABLE FORMS will rip your face off!!

2010-07-08T09:49:00.000-07:00

Ian Dickson knows what I like. When I told him about the ACHERON opening up, he said, "Let's do the INNUMERABLE FORMS show there. You'll like it. It's metal." Well that was the fuckin' understatement of the summer. INNUMBERABLE FORMS is Justin Detore of MIND ERASER and FUNEBRARUM doing a one-man tribute to classic old-school death metal. If your a fan of old nordic death like CARNAGE and NIHILIST, I don't know why you don't already have this record. The FORMS tear our place apart with Montreal hard-punkers NAUGHTY GIRLS on July 29th, and there may be a surprise in store for you as well. This is going to fucking rule.

HARDCORE WEEKEND!! MASAKARI Friday! COLOSSUS Saturday! FAILURES Sunday!! Get Stoked!

2010-07-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

Hey Kids! This weekend we've got some great hardcore and metal for you! Start it off Friday with MASAKARI, Cleveland's Heavy D-Beat heroes! and if that wasn't enough, TERROR LEVEL RED is reuniting for this one show! don't miss it! DEATH FIRST and Jersey's ZHENIA GOLOV round out the bill. Promises to be a crust-acular time. Here's some video of MASAKARI rocking out in the Czech Republic:

Then the mayhem don't stop! North Carolina crushers COLOSSUS bring the NWOSHM stylings to the Acheron for the first time to shred your face off alongside Brooklyn skate-heshers TYRHOMBUS REX and DCBR.

And then get ready for serious Hardcore crazyness with the unfuckwitable Failures and Vaccine playing alongside Raw Nerves (from Portland - thats PLURAL not singular), and Rats In The Walls in their final appearance.

Failures' S/T LP dropped last year on vocalist Mark McCoy's own Youth Attack imprint and currently have LP #2 in the works. The band features members of Das Oath, Orchid, Ampere, Cut the Shit, Charles Bronson, and many other outfits including McCoy's recent undertaking as guitarist, Veins.

I'll see you at the Acheron ALL WEEKEND LONG!!

True Widow / Bad Dream Wednesday! Hot Graves / Occultist Sunday BBQ matinee! Restorations / Bats & Mice Sunday night!

2010-06-22T08:58:00.000-07:00

We're really stoked to announce that Texas trio TRUE WIDOW will be playing this Wednesday at The Acheron with local fuzz-rock favorites BAD DREAM. This promises to be an evening of heavy and gorgeous proportion.

From NoisePop:

With the demise of the pummeling punk band Slowride, songwriter Dan Phillips walked away from music for a brief stint in woodworking before returning to his fist love. He formed True Widow as an attempt to make space between him and his previous incantation, and set out to create melodic and heavy music that slowed the pace and heightened the power. Now a fully formed trio, True Widow is equal parts shoegaze and soaring post rock, but with surprisingly heartfelt lyrics and magnificently beautiful subtleties.

We're closed for a private event on Saturday, but Sunday brings us a double header like we've never done before. Starting at 3pm we're doing a BBQ matinee show for Florida heavy Jammers HOT GRAVES and Richmond pagans OCCULTIST. In true southern fashion, we'll be drinking cold beer and eating barbecue while jamming out to some kick-ass metal.

Later that night, the indie kids will have their say! BATS & MICE have a resumé a mile long, with the likes of SLEEPYTIME TRIO, ENGINE DOWN, 400 YEARS and myriad others establishing a solid pedigree, these guys bring their own brand of melodic pop/rock to our stage Sunday night, alongside mellow fellows RESTORATIONS and brooklyn punk-poppers LITTLE LUNGS, who are recently back from an Australian tour.

HOLY CRAP WHAT A WEEK!! ACID TIGER! CEREMONY! ASSRASH! TRUE WIDOW! WHITE LUNG!

2010-06-15T11:14:00.000-07:00

This week promises to be our biggest yet! Starting with Thursday's ACID TIGER show (featuring TOURNAMENT, GATORS, and CHAMBERS), we don't let up at all!

Thursday Night is Brooklyn's own ACID TIGER, a crazed rock & roll juggernaut with members of CONVERGE and THURSDAY. Also on the bill is local workhorses TOURNAMENT, having just recorded yet again, as well as GATORS and CHAMBERS. This is going to be crowded so get here early!

Friday night Vancouver rockers WHITE LUNG swings back around to bushwick, with local weird-core hardcore yankees POLLUTION and PASSIVE AGGRESSOR. This will be Meredith's last gig with the PA, so send her off in appropriate style. Also on the bill is LONGPIGS.

Saturday keeps trucking on with an after show for the EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING show at Death By Audio. The Acheron and Hardcore Gig Volume proudly present CEREMONY and SKIN LIKE IRON in a late show Saturday June 19th. Doors will be at 11:30, and will be $6. As always, this show is ALL AGES.

Sunday is no time to call it a weekend, as New York metal mayhem kicks in with Relapse Records artists FLOURISHING, MALKUTH, and HUMANITY FALLS. This promises to be some face-ripping brutality, not to be missed!

and if that's not enough for you, Monday brings us Minneapolis punk legends ASSRASH with local punkers STATE OF DECLINE, PERDITION, and THE MISANTHROPES. Classic smelly hardcore the way it's meant to be done.

after a day of rest, we're back on Wednesday the 23rd with a psychedelic evening of rock n' roll experimentation. TRUE WIDOW from Texas are a trio of stoned out psych purveyors in the classiest sense. drawing heavily from shoegaze and the early 90s northwest scene. fuzzy swirling soundscapes giveway just long enough to draw you back in. Sharing the stage are Williamsburg favorites BAD DREAM, who rock their own swirling 60s style. This show is going to be a surefire winner!

Friday Double Header! Fast Death Early! Austin Lucas late!

2010-06-06T09:10:00.000-07:00

Boston's FAST DEATH will be kicking off this weekend's punk double header with raw thrash and speedfreakery. Killing it with them on the Early show will be Albany's NEUTRON RATS and local noise shredders NOMAD and crash-stenchers CERVIX. Get there early. Remember punx, no BYOB at the Acheron. $7 7pm get it on.

And stick around for the late show with punk balladeer AUSTIN LUCAS. You may know Austin from his killer D-beat band GUIDED CRADLE, but this guy makes some of the most hearbreaking and inspring country and folk around right now. He's on tour with fellow punk folkster DAMION SUOMI and we may have a very special local guest on stage with them, so be sure to enjoy a whiskey-soaked night of amazing music!

finally, we just got the flyer up for June 17th's ACID TIGER show. here it is. Kill, buddy.

Get Ready for MASSGRAVE next Friday! Post MDF grind mayhem!

2010-05-28T11:02:00.000-07:00

Next Friday Vancouver crust/grind masters MASSGRAVE will unleash the terror upon Bushwick. If you're down in Bal'mer checking them out this weekend for Maryland Deathfest, or especially if you're missing them, be sure to get over here and shred your face, buddy. Filling out the lineup will be Brooklyn's own ATAKKE, North Carolina stone-doomers HOG, and Philly tech shredders THE CLAW
