Loudly into the night

Nothing makes you feel young again like throwing a few guys around in a pit!

Friday night at the Comet Tavern saw the last show ever by The Abodox...and those boys brought the metal!  Although, after eleven years of double-kicks and frantic riffs, calling them boys might not be accurate. Even still, the whole bar that night felt like a high school basement thrash show, except the music sounded great.

Despite all the controlled violence, the show felt like a celebration, and it was. The Abodox have been championing a metal/grindcore sound in Seattle for eleven years. Alas, due to a medical condition of one of the members, they are calling it quits. However, these talented musicians live on in several other, less physically-demanding musical projects, including The Marrying Type, Lesbian, BLOUSE and others. 

What a sad but fun night – definitely a  4 Molo performance!  RIP, The Abadox. 

p.s. Leaving the Tavern after the show, I overhead this quote, spoken on the street by a couple of slightly intoxicated hipsters. Perhaps you can decipher it for me: “She tongue kissed the holy-hell out of him cause she wanted to savor the fermented eel in his beard.”

(The Molo Scale: 1 Molo = garbage water; 2 Molos = blarg; 3 Molos = solid; 4 Molos = a really good massage; 5 Molos = spine tingling.)
