THE BEST SHOW OF THE YEAR?
Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 12:11pm by Axl Rosenberg
When I read that Repulsion, Pig Destroyer and Brutal Truth are all playing a show together at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on July 31, my head literally exploded. I don’t mean “literally” the way some people misuse that word; I mean I am actually typing this right now sans melon. Pretty crazy, I know.
But totally warranted. Besides Gojira turning out to be a jizz-inducing experience and the prospect of Faith No More hopefully hitting up these United States later this year, I really can’t think of a cooler show. And tickets are only $20!!! That’s way less than you’ll pay for most shows this summer, and most shows won’t have three of the greatest grind bands of all time on one bill.
No word yet on if they’ll be support acts, but having one or two younger grinders – say, Graf Orlock or Magrudergrind – kicking off the show would probably make it a little too close to Heaven anyway, so perhaps it’s for the best if it’s just the three already-announced bands.
You can buy tickets here. Anyone who is in a position to go this show and doesn’t deserves to have a prowler in his yard.

i seriously need to move to NY, we get shit for shows in MN
its worse in CT if you live close to reely cool NY shows but cant drive. its like teasing
that would suck, but dont you guys have decent public transportation or a car even? Hell I make a 2 1/2 hour drive to see shows in the twin cities
I thought you typed pretty much everything sans melon…and sans kiwis…
You should see the poster for the show fucking amazing!
It sounds like a terrible show; I wouldn’t go if it was free.
I have yay’d so much over this. Yayyyyyyyy
Nice lineup. I hope to attend that Brooklyn show.
I have a general no-Brooklyn policy, but I might have to break it for this show.
Wow. Just……wow.
most epic flyer ever.
Once again an awesome gig i have no chance of attending, damn usa, damn europe .
I really hope I can throw together the cash for this show. I’m just discovering Brutal Truth and am super impressed thus far, and like i should have to justify seeing Pig Destroyer. I was just telling someone last week that I’m yet to see PxDx and really need to change that.
I very much wish I could go to this. Its almost worth quitting my job. Alas, as much as I love “some good ‘ol fashion grind”, I gots to pay the bills.
Masonic Temple is such a lousy venue in terms of sound. Then again, considering the craptastic venues which bands like these often play in, it’s probably a step up.
i plan on attending this.
God damn I wish I could go.
Horrified. Fuck.
Right down the street from me. Psyched as fuck. Pdf and your no-brooklyn policy be damned. Brooklyn owns your hood.
