April 8th, 2011 at the Hitone, ex Sports Junction, ex first Hitone –Process of Suffocation<\/a>. Memphis Black Metal that will literally fight you with machetes if it becomes necessary. My buddy and I did a video for them a few years later that you can find Process of Suffocation – El Libro Negro<\/a> . Goatwhore<\/a> was also on the bill, but I believe those photos are on another disk that is coming in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 9th, 2011 will find me at La Chardonnay on Overton Square with Richard James and Friends<\/a>. I use “Friends” because I am unsure what iteration of Richard James this could be. He is joined by Anne Schorr on bass, and Ross Johnson<\/a> on drums. At one point in the evening we get J.B. Horrell<\/a> on guitar while Richard ran the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
