The Ramoniacs have a deep repsect and appreciation for The Ramones. They  recreated the Ramones experience with great attention to detail. Having seen the Ramones in their heyday, I was especially appreciative of the Ramoniacs performance. I felt like I was much younger as I watched the Ramoniacs rock out. It was 1985 again, I was at The Channel Club in Boston watching Joey and the boys blow the roof off the place. This was yet another fine episode of Sonic Lobotomy with another great band. Kudos to our new sound man, Marky Mayhem, for making everything sound great.

The mighty Kilslug are a Boston institution. Back in the day, I saw them a hundred times. They often played shows with hardcore punk bands like SSD, and Samhain, but their sound was in sharp contrast to the fast and furious approach of the hardcore scene. They were slower than the slowest Black Sabbath, more dissonant that the noisiest Flipper, and darker than the most satanic metal band. I had a respect for Kilslug, and what they were doing, even if their choice of diety was very different from my own. After 20 years, it is great to see them reform, and it was even better to get the band to do my show.  By the end of their set, they had all but destroyed the studio, but they still managed to get the show done. We did not have to shut things down until they trashed soundman Marky Mayhem's microphone at the end of the set.  Kilsug contributed one of the best, and strangest episodes of Sonic Lobotomy so far. Good stuff.
