Last Saturday, Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools) played a solo set at Saint Vitus’s “Hurrican Sandy Relief Benefit”. Amongst the songs performed was “Delusional” from his Quicksand catalog. Video is below.

The last time I saw Prong, they headlined the Dynamo Festival in the Netherlands in front of 120.000 kids in 1994. Yesterday the band played an intimate Rocks Off show on a boat, cruising around the island of Manhattan. What fun!

Last night, Brooklyn’s All Hands Electric label held their annual CMJ showcase at Union Pool. Watch video edits from performers Zachary Cale and Virginia Plain below.

You’d think VISA issues should be sorted out by the time one agrees to playing shows here. Apparently not so much in the case of German national, FM Einheit. His scheduled performance at The Acheron on 10/31 is cancelled for this very reason, VISA issues.

FM Einheit, the only legitimate (former) creative force behind German deconstruction force Einstürzende Neubauten, will be playing a special Halloween show at The Acheron in East Williamsburg on October 31. This is one of only two US dates. Don’t miss the truest of all of 2012′s ‘metal’ shows. All rusty details below, including an advance ticket link. We strongly suggest to get a ticket ahead of time. This is sure to sell out.

On Saturday, Into Another played a 60 minute warm up show at Saint Vitus in preparation for their headlining slot at “Revelation Records 25 Festival” at Irving Plaza on Sunday. Watch a video edit of the intimate Greenpoint outing below.

In what might have been the single most awesome show of the year, the eruptive forces unleashed last night by On the Might of Princes at Saint Vitus equaled a category 5 hurricane. Watch the beginning and end of their set below, plus footage from surprise guest Garrison.

Last night after a sold out show at Music Hall, Texas is the Reason ‘crashed’ the Gameface/On the might of Princes happening at Saint Vitus for a short 15 minute late night set. Video of that is below, alongside edits of the other two bands.
