Proudly Announce Their First Ever London Show
Headcat have announced a date at the Relentless Garage and tickets will go on sale tomorrow morning at 9am from the www.livenation.co.uk at the very reasonable price of £16.50, this should be a blast!! We'll hopefully be there, the show will take place on 16th October 2011. Here's what they had to say:
Henry Rollins has announced a nationwide UK spoken word tour for January 2012.
The ex-Black Flag front man/comedian/actor/angry man is bringing his "The Long March" tour to the UK in early 2012 (let's hope it's not snow chaos again like this January!).

The British weather really knows when to throw itself at you. A few weeks ago when I wanted sun I was stood in a field at Download festival being rained on for 12 hours non stop. Now I was heading across the whole of London with a backpack full of heavy camera gear and it decided to be hot. Not just any kind of hot, this must have been the hottest day of the year so far.

So a few months ago my friend Matt turned around and said he was helping put on a mini festival with Josh who works at Fighting Cocks. Sounds good I thought but little did I realise what an amazing lineup they would end up putting together. There's a serious amount of talent in the UK that is often overlooked and they wanted to put something together that showcased this.
Last week saw the IndigO2 host The Metal Hammer Golden God awards and the resulsts are out. We see it as a nice excuse to run a photo of a legend with some easy on the eye ladies. The Sexy Sophisticats Gentleman’s Club Girls join Alice Cooper on the Red Carpet at The Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Alice is playing a very intimate gig at London's 100 club next week...
I discovered Omotai a few months back after buying a Black Breath album and the site "recommending" that I check out Omotai. I was not disappointed and decided to get in touch to find out more. Hit up the player to check them out and have a read to see what they're all about, they're supporting Yob and Dark Castle in the US soon...
www.metalgigs.co.uk has learnt that Yob have now got 5 of their UK dates sorted, and Dark Castle and Kongh will be supporting, they are as follows:
10.10.11 London, United Kingdom - Purple Turtle (Dead Existence also to support on this date)
11.10.11 Leeds, United Kingdom - The Well
12.10.11 Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Bannermans
13.10.11 Manchester, United Kingdom - Star & Garter
14.10.11 Bristol, United Kingdom - The Croft
What an odd but AWESOME line up I thought when this got announced. Thrash, doom and the godfathers of industrial metal all in one mashed up line up, but the more you think about it the more it makes sense. All three bands are generally liked by fans of "real" music of the heavy variety, and it would be nice to see more varied line ups like this happen...
We're away at Download festival watching Ghost, Hell, Down and Clutch amongst others....listings will resume on Tuesday upon our return. Follow us on Twitter and facebook to keep up to date with the latest goings on at Donington Park.
