I hate being 20. Unhappy

Hopefully they'll schedule some all ages shows. This is a band I've been wanting to check out.

Hi Jozef. Usually half of the shows we book are all ages. The Orion show on Nov 1. is all ages (however it is in Baltimore). We are trying to set up a show at the Rotunda in philly as well, which is also all ages.
Unfortunately, bars are usually not all ages though. Patience, my friend! Hopefully we will see you sometime.

FREE Red Masque Show This Monday!

"It's the last dance for Jonathan Canady's brooding Angels of Decay at the Balcony Sept. 22. AoD made soul-crushing (in a good way) CDs like Covered in Scars for labels like Relapse, where Canady crafts graphic design and album cover art. His magick blood-n-sex chapbook Dangerous Meat is out. He'll celebrate Decay's demise with sad comrade/death-cabaret saint David E. Williams and the dynamic prog-manic Red Masque, whose new CD Fossil Eyes is like cramming 1,000 King Crimson bootlegs into one mystical intriguing whole." - A.D. Amorosi (September 2008, Philadelphia City Paper)

DETAILS: 09.22.08 | The Balcony at the Trocadero, 1003 Arch Street, Philadelphia; 215.922.LIVE. 10 PM. FREE Admission, 21-plus. Monday Night Club.

*This show will be new guitarists David Pym's debut show with the band.

FOSSIL EYES

Review on http://www.squidco.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=10421 - SquidCo.

Marrying chamber rock prowess with heavy crimson-cow-esque drama and power, The Red Masque create a complex journey through 11 songs. The band is technically impressive and studio savvy, as it shows through the use of effects, sudden but sensical transitions, and just plain interesting and well crafted songs. Lynnette Shelley's vocals are authoritative, though make take a bit to get used to: she's powerful and articulate, with an accent that would work well for both Lydia Lunch and on a Zappa doo-wop. Red Masque is, no doubt, thick, heavy rock, in a similar vein to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, but without that band's uniquely twisted sense of humor. This is serious stuff, with a resolute focus on the music itself. And that makes for a release that rewards and reveals itself more with each listen.
