Psycho Las Vegas 2017
Psycho Las Vegas recently wrapped up its second edition in Sin City after moving away from its Californian roots in 2016. Psycho Las Vegas 1st edition was outstanding. The second? Well, I’m trying to find an adjective that tops outstanding… The whole experience of hosting some of the heaviest/hottest/weirdest/loudest bands in the storied Hard Rock Casino is practically a religious experience. My short anecdotes cannot and will not do it justice. You, the reader, will need to make the conscience decision to go next year to experience it for yourself. Or, if you’ve been already partaken, well, I’m sure you can vouch for me in addition to having your own stories to tell. Here’s a brief rundown of my four days.
Thursday: The first day of any festival is always the most dangerous when trying remember details. It’s the day you usually celebrate breaking away from your job/your significant other/your home/your life. It’s probably a statistical fact, the day you tend to overindulge in adult beverages.
By the time I arrived at the Pool Stage, Goya had already started. After a couple of minutes of nothing coming through the PA system, the Phoenix, AZ doom lords were off and fuzzing up the already buzzing crowd. Next up were Conan. I have to admit, I kept running into friends throughout the pool area and I was only was able to listen to them through breaks in conversations with said friends. I did catch the crowded pool stage’s reaction to their set and it the applause was loud after every song. So, I’m going to say they had a great set at this point. More...
Goya Streaming Nirvana Tribute
Tomorrow, the Phoenix, Arizona-based stoner doom trio Goya will release a special two-song Nirvana tribute. As the first new output from the band's updated lineup of singer/vocalist Jeff Owens, drummer Nick Lose, and bassist Sonny DeCarlo, the recordings derived almost accidentally from their initial rehearsal sessions.
All three members grew up in the '90s thus churning out some Nirvana covers was a natural and logical choice, particularly with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Nirvana's seminal album "Nevermind" full-length on the horizon.
Elaborates Owens, "Nirvana are a heavy influence on all three of us from our youth. There was a recent article calling Nirvana the most coverable band of all time, due to the simplicity and catchiness of their songs, and there's certainly something to that. It's easy to get bogged down with trying to do something 'different,' or worrying that the notes you're playing are too 'predictable,' but we feel it's important to listen to that inner voice telling you that the next note is obvious.
"Despite what some would have you believe, there's nothing wrong with standard chord progressions, and that is one of the greatest strengths of Nirvana. Sometimes, a song writes itself, and there's no reason to fight it or twist it. We all still consider ourselves fans of Nirvana, and we are all fans of basic chord progressions and a more punk approach to writing music, so it's been a lot of fun for us putting this release together and playing these songs live, and we hope that that comes through in listening to them. And who knows? Maybe it will even have some sort of influence on our writing process as a three-piece in the future." More...
Goya Releasing Nirvana Tribute
2016 marks Phoenix, Arizona-based stoner doom trio Goya's fifth year as a band. After singer/vocalist Jeff Owens and drummer Nick Lose recently recruited Sonny DeCarlo on bass, they wanted to get into the studio as quickly as possible to celebrate what they could bring together.
Knowing that it takes time and care to craft original material, they decided to record a couple of covers for the time being. All three members grew up in the '90s, so the logical choice of band for them to cover was Nirvana, particularly with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Nirvana's seminal album "Nevermind" full-length on the horizon.
They entered Switchblade Sound in Tempe, Arizona to track "Drain You" and "D-7" with long-time friend and ex-Goya bassist Joe Asselia. Though "D-7" is originally by '70s Portland punk band Wipers and was later covered by Nirvana, Goya plays it in the true spirit of Nirvana. The tracks are mastered by Brad Boatright (Obituary, Sleep, Magrudergrind, Gatecreeper et al) and "Drain You" can be heard below.
These songs will be released through Opoponax Records on a limited-to-100 lathe cut seven-inch on Saturday, September 24th. The band will have a very limited amount for sale while appearing at Psycho Las Vegas this weekend. See the band live:
