Miasmal end-of-tour show last night here in Olympia: sick. My expectations were met and exceeded. Sanctuary in Blasphemy were really good too. Tonight: Martyrdöd in Seattle with a stacked lineup that includes Walls, No Statik, Crazy Spirit, Slowmotions and, for some reason, my own band Criminal Code. Not my doing, but it's not as if I'm gonna complain. Besides, it's always nice to be playing a show you'd be attending regardless. See you there?
