I went, and Wolf Eyes was brutal as expected. I didn't realize their music involved so much guitar, or that they used modified, beaten up horns (a sax and something like a simple french horn) either. I wore earplugs for most of it, but I had to pull them out for a few seconds at a time just to get a feel for the noise level. It sounded way better that way, but I didn't want to deal with having my ears ring oppressively for the next day or two.

On the downside, they played really late, and they didn't play for very long. Rubber-O-Cement was very entertaining but not actually good, and Wilson + Heath, the first opener, was atrocious. Some of the biggest performance art bullshit I've ever paid to watch.

I know how you feel about wanting to hear the noise w/out earplugs, but you made the right decision keeping them in. What kind of crowd was there?

It's a small place so there weren't too many people. The crowd was a bunch of hipster types, but I think some of the kids who post at the ihatemusic forum showed up. I wasn't sure, and I didn't try to speak to them or anything especially since I hardly ever post there and wouldn't have much to say.

There was a particularly annoying group there that I see at a bunch of Atlanta shows, and I think they're affiliated with the promotors, Tight Bros. They yelled out a bunch of stupid shit, and this one guy (who, to be fair, might not have been part of that group) kept yelling for "Black Vomit" even after they'd already played it.

It turned out not to be the best show to go to by myself especially since I got there at 9:30, and nobody played for an hour. I'm still glad I went, though.

I've been to Drunken Unicorn to see Four Tet w/ Sun Burned Hand of the Man.
