Bloody Panda
Salome
The Red & The Black

Huge lightning storms tonight. 2nd time seeing Salome. They played a good set to the small crowd.

Bloody Panda is one of the weirdest bands I've ever seen. There are six members - five in black hoods with a tiny Japanese girl who sings very ethereally over the crushing doom. One of the other guys does some throat singing, which was awesome. How many times have I thought that metal needs more throat singing? And there were chimes and a keyboard and it was just weird. Good, but weird.

Here's a City Paper piece with some photos.
