if you only make it to one split cassette release party in 2004, i highly recommend the Sword Heaven/16 Bitch Pile-up show tomorrow night at Café Bourbon Street tomorrow. That's Thursday, July 22.

The sludge is gonna be at least knee deep, so I recommend you roll up your pants up & come barefoot.

Sword Heaven
16 Bitch Pile-up
and Melk the G6-49

Melk is a duo from from Indianapolis/Bloomington who are heavy as shit. Think early Melvins and then turn your brain up.

The split tapes are gonna be $3 & the money's going to help cover costs the split LP (with different material, of course - and already at press) by the same bands.

Look for the Pile-up on the cover of this week's Alive too.

Word.
