Green Milk From the Planet Orange @ The Black Heart, London UK, 2025-05-17




Here is another set from Desert Fest London 2025.  This time Japanese band Green Milk From the Planet Orange.  This band checks too of my boxes.  Go see bands that you have never seen and might not ever given a chance and go see bands that traveled a long way to where they are playing.

I knew nothing about this band other than what I read on the Desert Fest site.  Sounded interesting to me and I managed to get up in the the tiny show room about the bar at The Black Heart.  I wouldn't say I really saw then though as they mostly played seated on that short stage.  Was a cool experience and funny enough I ran into them at the airport when I was leaving London.  Nice folks.

They play a heavy fast progressive rock.  It gets a little spaced out sometimes.  They were loud. 

Support independent music and bands from all over the world anyway you can. Enjoy.

The Reverend Horton Heat @ Mammoth Events Center. Denver CO, 1995-09-12

 


Here is another MarcR tape.  This time a 1995 set from The Reverend Horton Heat at the Mammoth Event Center (aka now the Fillmore) in Denver.  This was part of a bonkers show line up with a headlining Violent Fems, Morphine, Supersuckers, and Hagfish.   Wow!

Marc had to have recorded this in the balcony.  Around this time the stage was on the East side of the building.  Very little crowd noise or chatter. Nice capture all around.  The best era of RHH for me. I didn't go to this show but I saw them a bunch from 95 forward.  Enjoy.

Conan @ Skylark Lounge, Denver CO, 2024-03-31


 

I saw Conan at Desert Fest London this year.  They played at the famous Roundhouse in Camden.  Legendary venue and it was cool to see a show there.  But the Roundhouse is literally an a giant brick and steel former train repair depot.  I don't know how Jimi Hendrix or the Ramones sounded in there but it wasn't ready for Conan's caveman battle doom.  My recording of that isn't going to see the light of day.

My first time seeing Conan was here in Denver at one of my locals in 2024.  The Skylark Tavern / Bobcat Club.  It was loud as hell but sounded pretty good to me.  They barely ever book metal bands here either so it was kind of special to see them here.  I don't think they had been to Denver since 2019 either so this was a must see show for me.  Enjoy.

Avon @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-17

 


Maybe the most "desert" thing I saw at Desert Fest London was getting the chance to see desert rock legend Alfredo Hernandez play drum with two bands back to back.  He was a member of Kyuss, Yawning Man, Queens Of The Stone Age, and lots of others.  Don't get much more desert rock than that.  He played with UK instrumental band Sons of Alpha Centauri and then with his band Avon.  Which is named after a QOTSA song.

We got a nice set of their originals and 3 QOTSA and 1 Kyuss covers.  Good times.  Sounds like they have a new album coming out soon.  Be on the look out if your a fan of this genre.  Enjoy.

Bobbie Dazzle @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-18




Another Desert Fest set.  Bobbie Dazzle live at The Underworld in Camden town London.  They are a straight up, powerhouse, UK glam rock band.  In the vein of Sweet, Slade, and Bowie.  They were the 1st band of the day on the last day of the fest.  A bit of  odd band out for sure in a fest full of Doom and Doom adjacent bands.  But fun as hell and a great way to get it going I thought.

I must have heard of them because they are on Rise Above Records.   Rise Above is a long running heavy music label out of the UK started by the legendary Lee Dorrian. Founding member of Napalm Death and Cathedral.  I was bummed I didn't make it to his record store on my visit.  I figured if he was giving it the stamp of approval I should put Bobbie Dazzle on my must see list.  

Glad I did.  It was a real good time.  Big stage rock in a smallish room always rules.  Sounds like they are on the way up from here with gigs opening for ELO and Alice Cooper.  Fun stuff and I think this turned out pretty nice.  Enjoy.

Årabrot @ The Underworld, London UK, 2025-05-16

 









Here is another set from Desert Fest London.  I tried to pick bands to see that I was unfamiliar with and bands that I didn't think I would get a change to see again anytime soon.  Årabrot from Norway fit that bill.  Årabrot get called noise rock.  That is a pretty wide umbrella which I guess they fit under.  A this show the main guy Kjetil Nernes said "we play dirty ugly rock n roll".

It's always fun to see a band you have never seen before and are mostly in the dark about blow you away.  That was the case on this day.  I enjoyed it so much I picked up 2 of their releases on vinyl and am looking forward to their new album at the end of August.

Pretty good sound on this and good setlist spanning their most recent work.  We got T-Rex and Lee Hazelwood / Nancy Sinatra covers for good measure.  100% would see this band live again given the chance.  Enjoy.
