That's nice to say and

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Welcome

I dunno if it's been brought up around here, but the band that Chemda is opening for (Frontline Assembley) is one of the most important bands in Industrial Music. Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb pretty much defined a whole type of industrial dance music back in the day.

Without going into a whole history of Industrial music, it's just easy to say that Frontline pretty much defined industrial dance with the album Tactical Neural Implant. It set this whole vibe that bands like Nine Inch Nails wattered down for mainstream consumption.

So anyway, I guess the point is when you do go see the show to see Chemda, stick around for the FLA show. I've seen them a half dozen or so times and they definitely are not the band they once were (which is why it's so cool Rhys does so many side projects) but they should be seen and respected. It's like a rock and roll fan seeing the Rolling Stones today or something..

If you did like the band at all, go buy (or download, whatever) the album Tactical Neural Implant.. Also, look into some more of Rhys's side projects..

Oh, and please, enough with the Goth

Calling them all goths is like going to a cancer convention and calling them all skinheads. Goths tend to be whiney bitches who listen to shitty music, those kids out there with boots and whatnot are Rivitheads.. pretty much punks who have dyed black hair instead of mohawks..

so yeah!

PS: Chemda, you should collect some FLA stuff and ebay it! Make some cash for the 4 year show.

Does "Skinny Puppy" fall into the industrial Music catagory?

Just so you know, a lot of the people there were actually goths. The show took place on Thursdays, which at Nations is "Alchemy", A self proclaimed "Goth club". I listen to industrial music, I like Front Line Assembly, and I have been to a lot of industrial shows. A lot of these people were your typical Goth whiney bitches. As an example, the website for Alchemy under their Merchandise link, the only store that shows up is "Hot Topic". http://www.alchemy-dc.com/links.php

I haven't listened to the entire show yet (I'm traveling) so I dunno if Chemda mentioned it but... all night there is this old woman (60s probably) sitting on the edge of the club reading a book. Finally when Chemda comes out into the crowd, we go and talk to her, turns out shes there with her grandsons who are 14 and look like your typical goth kids. Pretty cool for her I guess. I asked her how often she takes them to clubs and she said every other month or so. I asked her if she liked the music and she said "naaaah" and put her earplugs back in. I was amused.

Do they call it industrial music because:





It needs a lot of work?
