Saturday, November 16th
OM (Southern Lord Records, 2/3 of stoner-rock legends Sleep, etc.)
Grails (releases out on Temporary Residence, Important Records, Neurot Recordings, etc.)
Witch (ever want to see J Mascis play drums for a psych-metal band?)
Jack Rose (psych/drone from a member of Pelt.)
at The Loft (Cotton Mill Hill) in Brattleboro, VT.

Check it out, friends.

OM, live in Brooklyn.
