Dredg

Thank goodness for awesome bands like Dredg. I am one of the lucky few (except thats not true because it leaked I think) that have the new record. My friend produced it and I was so lame as to text him after I heard it and say "I know this is nerdy but I'm proud of you." I think he told me to go fuck myself or something, but I meant the compliment.

I was late on the Dredg train I must admit, but back when I was working for Velvet Hammer I ended up going to see them at the Avalon not really knowing what I was getting into. I remember watching them from the sidestage just completely slackjawed at how good they were, and watching the crowd lose their minds. 

The next time I "met" them was last year at Coachella where I couldn't find a bathroom and peed in their trailer thingy. I remember being in the bathroom and being like "holy shit I'm peeing in DREDGS toilet!!! How cool!!" 

After some real hangage, I've come to love the band as people and it makes the new record even that much sweeter. Fucking psyched for tonight at the Troubadour. 

In other news, I am addicted to The Guggenheim Grotto's "Fee Da Da Dee" so it must be listened to IMMEDIATELY.
