Biomechanical @ SXSW Conference Texas

[Existenz]

Got this from Lee at the Elitist Forum!

Biomechanical will be playing in Austin on the 17th March as part of the SxSW conference. The night will be entitled "Metal Hammer magazine night of British Steel" and will also feature Raging Speedhorn, Panic Cell, Viking Skull plus another band I have already forgotten about...

The venue's the Backroom. Website here: www.backrm.com

Hope to see some of the locals amongst you there.

WTF?! now do a US tour lol

I know that Earache are looking for Biomechanical to tour this Year! Hopefully the US will be one of the places

 

[Lee_B]

US is definitely high on the list. The work permits for this Texas show are pretty expensive and last only a year, so it makes sense to take advantage of the situation

 

[Will Bozarth]

hehehe i sure hope so! when you guys get over here, im gonna bug you guys after the gig

Uoaha! Bug all you want dude (or am I going to regret saying that? )

Yeah man it would be sweet to play in the US, as Existenz said b4 I think Earache are keen in getting Biomechanical some gigs over there so maybe will see ya around!

[Will Bozarth]

i can honestly say i've never heard of any of them, besides Bio

 

[Jonoleth]

Panic Cell are the only others I could really recommend, theyre not completely my thing but theyre heavy as hell live, kind of american style metal in the vein of Pantera/Slayer/Machinehead...
Great bunch of guys too!

 

[Will Bozarth]

hmmmm Machine Head... no thanks.i'll give them a try though! thanks

 

[Jonoleth]

That would be my reaction aswell I'll be honest but they are a great bunch of guys and they give it their all, the music really is better than you'd imagine from what I'd compare it to, I just cant think of better comparisons... There one of those bands that appeal to a frustratingly wide audience...

 

[Will Bozarth]

listening now. cool band!

 

[Existenz]

listening now. cool band!

I saw them play at the Camden Underworld good band. If you like Panic Cell you should also check out Head-On www.head-on.co.uk . They've got a pretty amusing stage act of a toaster (I think) being smashed up with a hammer on stage Great guys aswell.

A week to go for the SXSW Conference.I know the biomech guys are really looking forward to it and Lee B has sorted out some restaurants to seriously pig out in. I'll post pics and setlist when I'll get them.

 

[Will Bozarth]

im still bugged that theyre playing in Texas and nowhere else hahaha

oh well. my time will come

 

[Existenz]

Well Biomechanical played their US debut around 5am UK time this morning!

I'm sure they kicked some Texan Butt

Hi Sherry,

The guys had a great time, all went well with their set and they got a really good reaction!
Here is the set list

The Empires Of The Worlds
Do you know me
The Awakening
Existenz
Painkiller (Priest)
Regenerated
Relinquished Destiny
Assaulter

The boys are now going around doing the promotion bit for a few days. There will be write up of the trip and hopefully a few photos of the trip when the guys get back!

John did tell me after the set there was a guy from California he thinks he freaked out(well you would freak if you didn't know John and his sense of humor!) as he tried to grab his ass and offered him sex

 

[Will Bozarth]

Existenz, eh? i thought you said you werent there

Man... Painkiller must have sounded awesome. Got a bootleg? hahaha

Unfortunately I wasn't there . John sent me an email and told me the set list and some things that happened at the gig.

I have seen them do Painkiller at the Camden Underworld in London and it was :Smokin:

 

[Will Bozarth]

Unfortunately I wasn't there

it was a joke, seeing that they played something called Existenz... and your name on here is Existenz...
