WATCH: The Hell You Say + Witchkiss + Temple of the Fuzz Witch /// Tap Room 9.24.19
Topping off a trifecta of loud nights, Highlands Tap Room hosted yet another evening of doomed, fuzzed, screamed and pounded performances. There were more than a few monolithic amps and cabinets stacked up rolling thru the doors of the small venue, always a sure sign that amplitude would be metered in degrees of chest thump and tinnitus.
Temple of the Fuzz Witch (Detroit, MI) warmed up the corner platform stage with their deep, fuzz filled set, their vocals reminiscent of a grungier era. Witchkiss (Hudson Valley, NY) filled in the middle slot with an aggressive set that wouldn't let their moody transitions, hammering drums, or bellicose vocals go unnoticed. Playing cleanup on the night, and taking full advantage of a pre-tenderized crowd, The Hell You Say (Louisville) came in like a drunken chainsaw juggler, casting their raucous brand of Louisville metal into and onto the audience, and proving why they're local noise favorites. Solid sets by all.
You can catch regularly scheduled noise at Highlands Tap Room for their Punk Rock Night: Louisville on Sunday nights, followed by the popular Metal Monday. This show was on a Tuesday, so you'll probably want to keep an eye on The Orange List so you don't miss out on mid-week rock. See you there!
