Below is a video link to The Re-Volts caught live in action disgracing themselves doing a stunningly sick seventies throwback recreation as DOUBLE VISION at the Bad_Acid_Presents Hallorager VIII at San Francisco’s storied Bottom of the Hill on 10-30-2021 …
They perform two Foreigner Facsimile songs in this quickly edited clip, two corporate cock rock classics: Long Long Way From Home and Cold As Ice ( which was a top ten hit back in summer of ’77).
The posse comin’ at us is led by Spike Slawson, who has taken to heart (vest and wig) the role of Lou Grammatico in his Halloween DOUBLE VISION Foreigner Tribute. Here is backed by pedigreed punk pals including co-founding Dwarves member HEWHOCANNOTBENAMED on keys, local ne’er do ‘ell and jocular jerk of all horns Jamin Barton , Jack Dalrymple on guitar, Colin Delaney on skins, and Paul Oxborrow in the role of late great OG bassist Ed Gagliardi .
Yasuto Muraki, who has spent 3 years playing with the Japanese Doom Metal purveyors Church Of Misery is leaving the fold next month, and this was one of his final US appearances. Church Of Misery, who specialize in dark doom metal inspired by various infamous serial killers brought their 25th Anniversary North American Tour through San Francisco and ended their set with Murderfreak Blues (Tommy Lynn Sells) a dirge from their 2016 album “And Then There Were None” .

The 18th Annual SF Indie Documentary Film Festival screened it in May and I got a chance to catch the sold out premiere of “Murder In The Front Row: The Bay Area Thrash Metal Story”. The film is a social study of a group of young people defying the odds and building something essential for themselves. Featuring interviews with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Possessed and many more!
Here’s some snippets from the rowdy crowd that night checking out the post screening chat with the filmmakers at the Murder in the Front Row: The Bay Area Thrash Metal Story screening event put together by San Francisco IndieFest. I was lucky enough to score tix early to even get in to to see this premiere of Murder In The Front Row as the line was stretching around the block when I arrived. You’ll hear some of the audience’s overwhelming roars of excitement as the first few frames hit the screen, as well as the Q & A afterwards with the director Adam Dubin, lifelong thrash metal fan and narrator Brian Posehn and one of the subjects of the film, the meat handed maestro Tom Hunting of Exodus .

Oh, yeah! Well, I said I was a sinner, baby
Said I was alone
Saw the walls come-a crashing down
I’m goin’ out with a devil in a bottle, Devil in a bottle yeah (ooh yeah!)
