Maybeshewill are probably not the bad you’d expect to open up this bill, as you walk into a room filled with the sound of their instrumental post-rock.  It’s not always quite that ambient though and these guys do have the ability to get heavy.  It’s hard to review this kind of music in the live environment because you either get it or you don’t.  What is clear is when around half way through this set you could turn your head to the left or right and nearly every single person who was paying attention was standing nodding their head in time with the music, without seemingly being aware of doing it.  Definitely one that might be worth checking out.

Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegal’s – Walk Through Exits Only

Anselmo (as he is now apparently known) teaming up with his band The Illegal’s to release an album chock full of heavy as fuck metal.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was a surprisingly touching and fun film that also had a big dollop of surreal weirdness.  It was also a surprise success so naturally we now have a sequel on our hands.  The rather boringly named Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 is that sequel and has seen most of the original cast return apart from Mr. T who has been replaced by Terry Crews as Eric Devereaux.
