Tour de Force

SAINT VITUS AND A BACON, EGG & CHEESE SANDWICH GO TOGETHER LIKE… LIKE…

 Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 10:39am by

I am wearing pants, and it is before 2pm. No, I haven’t traded in my blogger boxers for a corporate suit and tie… I just reallllly wanted a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich to help my hungover ass get going this morning. I trudged to the corner bodega (right past the chi-chi hipster coffee shop) in my sweet new Burst hoodie, where a dirty old Indian man proceeded to make me a sloppy, greasy bacon, egg & cheese after dropping the spatula on the floor in plain sight… and boy it is fucking good. Totally hits the spot. For a hangover when you have to work, there is nothing better. Period.

What’s this got to do with St. Vitus? Nothing. Nothing at all. A fan of the site pointed out that we never cover this seminal stoner rock band, and it’s true. The band has 5 reunion shows in the U.S. in the coming months — 3 on the East Coast in October and 2 in California in January — and we haven’t even mentioned them. For shame.

Here’s a live vid of St. Vitus — apparently it’s Wino’s first gig with the band. After the jump, details on the U.S. tour dates.

    Speaking of Burst…saw those guys last night at a one-off date during a break from the Gojira tour. They played for a crowd of about 14 people and killed it…it’s going to be sad not having them around anymore.

    They were awesome in New Orleans back in April. Hopefully they will do more than just these upcoming five shows.

    My lady also has a sweet new Burst hoodie. Good thing it got cold fast, because she’d still wear it, even if it was 78 degrees out.

    I feel for you metalheads in BK. Every day you have to step outside into a torrential flurry of fixed-gear bikes, ironic facial hair, thrift-store clothing, chi-chi coffee shops, and empty conversations about Jack Kerouac. I honestly don’t know how the fuck you do it. I guess the cheap rent doesn’t hurt, plus you can always get a good old bacon, egg and cheese with a side of floor grime.

    Respects to Wino, but Reagers is THE man for St-Vitus. And what the guys were thinking by firing Armando fucking Acosta…
