The Gaff
Today we went and put up loads of posters for the rock poster show at Underdog Art co. as well as checking out The Gaff where Roadsaw gig is due to take place. Looks like a brilliant venue, pinball machines, great PA, rock and roll styling. Got a couple of photos showing the venue and the poster up in the venue. Come along on 3rd May, will be great!
Posters are printed
Thanks to Sam at Underdog Art Co. I now have a load of freshly printed posters for the Roadsaw gig. I'll have some of these on the day available for cheap.

Mindzap productions proudly present:
ROADSAW
There are scores of bands out there claiming to have the status of "legend" but only a few really meet the definition. Boston's Roadsaw is among that elite. Formed in the mid-'90's by Craig Riggs and Tim Catz, they raised the bar for riff loving hard rock, proving that the West Coast didn't have a lock on what most considered "stoner rock." They released a single on Man's Ruin, three albums ("$1,000,000," "Nationwide," and "Rock n Roll"), a compilation of singles and B-sides ("Taking Out the Trash"), toured the hell out of the US and Europe with the likes of Nebula, Orange Goblin, and Scissorfight, and then, like all good bands and unlike too many shitty ones, went on the dreaded "indefinite hiatus.
From the smoldering ashes sprung a handful of notable groups - the rootsy, Southern lovin' Antler, the cock rock of Quitter, among others - but while those acts made distinct marks, they never filled the void left by Roadsaw. Other bands that attempted to capture that unique Roadsaw magic fell woefully short. There was attitude or there were riffs, but the two never blended together in that awesome Roadsaw way. For the faithful, the best thing to do was to replay those classic albums and hope for a miracle
Crack open a cold one and get ready to rock the fuck out, because Roadsaw is back. After a successful US tour in 2005, an absolutely jaw dropping cover of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" on the latest "Sucking the 70s" compilation, and appearances at both CMJ and South by Southwest, the band has reconvened to record a new album tentatively titled “See You In Hell” which will be coming out in the fall of 2007. The core "Rock n Roll" lineup is back, with bassist Tim Catz, Riggs on vox, guitarist Ian Ross, Dave Unger on keys, and long time friend and fan Jeremy on the Drums. The reinvigorated five-piece has already destroyed one Boston club this year - expect more devastation to come. This is the culmination of every great riff, of every memorable melody. This is the "fuck you" attitude that defines rock n’ roll. This is Roadsaw.
Obiat
OBIAT is LONDON-READING based multicultural entity uniting four members of different nationalities. Mesmerizing, hypnotic stoner doom with characteristic soulful vocals. The psychedelic, almost trance-like atmosphere sets this band apart from most other metallers. It's groovy & eerie yet still heavy, with a hint of eastern european touch(hungarian, polish songwriters)
Alunah
Female fronted Psych Blues doomsters from Birmingham

Crumbling Ghost
Folk, Doom and Psych
Formed Late 2008. Current and previous bands/projects Crumbling Ghost have been involved with include Koresh, Smallgang, Mordros, Among the Missing, Fantaplastic, Pombagira, Huge Baby, Platform, Seven Hour Germ.

Grifter
Grifter are an ass kickin', booty shakin' whiskey rock band from Plymouth in the UK. Kicking out the jams with a shared love of Sabbath, Clutch, Scissorfight, AC/DC, Motorhead and ZZ Top, Grifter are the nuts!!!

Trebuchet
Trebuchet... Half-decent balls out rock machine driving home the agenda of power rock and roll with 10% effort. Trebuchet combine sloppy 4th hand riffs lifted from the treasure chest of tasty rock with screechy stretched vocals that sound as though they will give up at any minute. Just being in the presence of Trebuchet feels like you are in the middle of a midnight rendezvous with Sir Lord Baltimore and The riff from Stone Cold Fever by the "Pie".
