aura and tree

sounds like a cool line up, doesn't it? and it was--have to admit, a little like the first time joe came over and i missed his set narrowly avoiding setting the backyard on fire, i almost missed this, the debut of his new hard core band--no excuses, i was just really tired--went into my room (where you can easily hear the entire show--in a house so small there is no avoiding the muse) just to lay down for a second, and,well, as Tree starts their set and the overpowering wall of hard core sound surrounds my thoughts and i lay back contentedly--i guess i fell asleep, what woke me up was the absence of sound--but before, as i'm settling into sleep, i admire not only the very punk wall of sound thing, but how Joe's voice still comes through all that guitar amp, orienting the songs around meaning so many hardcore bands lack--punk anthems--this is going to be big--next time i will be ready (and not red eyed)for the Tree--and Aura, i know i'm overusing the concept of psychedelic metal (seems like we have had a wave of psychmetal) so let me elaborate--classic metal 2 piece, a drummer and a shredding lead guitar--but with another element, the sampler, who lay in all the extra low rumblings, weird pitched bells and buzzes, snippets of conversation etc. to give Aura a kind of psychic tvish experimental, well aura--but definitely balls to the wall metal as fast as that drummer can go--i call it psychedelic metal--but whatever, it was fun.
