Paint It Black have posted a new blog update discussing some of their recent upcoming dates which include the rather different Leatherface and Ceremony, Life Long Tragedy, & Sabretooth Zombie:
The first three shows (San Diego, L.A., & Anaheim) are with Leatherface & Dead To Me. For the uninitiated, Leatherface are an important part of punk history, an older band from the UK who were a huge influence on Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, and in some ways, Lifetime. This is their first time in the U.S. in ten years, i think. I remember when Kid Dynamite played with them & HWM on that last tour.
Then on Wednesday, we meet up with Ceremony, Life Long Tragedy, & Sabretooth Zombie for shows in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle/Tacoma. Ceremony is one of the most exciting bands currently playing hardcore punk.
The major point of all this idle talk is to make the point that we’re playing shows with two vastly different sets of bands this week, ranging from pop-punk to brutal thrash-dirge assault, yet somehow it all makes perfect sense for Paint It Black. I get so sick of how conservative people can be about music sometimes. I cant tell you how many times people have questioned our judgment when it comes to the variety of bands we choose to play with. Too hardcore, not hardcore enough, blah, blah, blah, fucking ridiculous. We play with bands we like, & with people we respect, end of story.
