Things got loud, dark and detuned at the Slice for a big stoner rock show, Saturday, Nov. 3.
While I missed Iron Tusk and Chief Mountain, I caught most of a blisteringly loud and massively detuned show from Calgary’s Bazaraba.
The trio played an intens
e set of post grunge stoner rock which was equal parts Black Flag and Soundgarden and Kyuss, with more modern influences like Black Thunder and Monster Truck. They shouted out three part gang vocals and the drummer sang lead on several songs.
Calgary/Lethbridge stoner rock band Hypnopilot played a great deal slower, laying down a big, slow, ponderously heavy groove.
They had more of an Alice in Chains, grunge era feel.
They ended with a big jam on a Black Sabbath cover as an encore.
