Acid Bath are one of those band my friend Kenny has loved since I've know him. Their 1994 album When The Kite String Pops was always laying around various offices we were at. He last saw them in a small bar outside Chicago.  I never did although they did play Coney Island High on St. Marks back in 1996.  The passing of their founding bass player Audie Pitre in 1997 put the band on ice all these years, but through the magic of bass player Shane Wesley (Crobar) and drummer Zack Simmons (Goatwhore), the frontline original members are back at it since 2024.  Now the band is bigger than they ever were.  By alot.  Scarcity and word of mouth sells tickets in the way their opening kinship Eyehategod couldn't slogging it on the road most of all those years.

In some ways I could see why vocalist Dax Riggs could bring in people that like Layne Staley, Scott Weiland or even Graham Bonnet vocal stylings.  Fortunately, the twin guitars of Sammy Duet & Mike Sanchez are dirty and heavy enough that you don't feel forsaken when seeking metal purity from this band.  I've been checking in on Eyehategod every now and again since I saw them at Wetlands in the mid 90's.  I had an "oh yeah" moment watching that a bit since amazingly it is on youtube.  There was a little more blood back then.  Kenny reminds me we saw them a couple times at an early Roadburn when bands got bumped from volcanic ash.

That conversation was miraculously remembered over half a year later.   Another friend of mine had RSVP's for the free Tuesday Night Series at Union Pool passed on to me that proved to be useless since they don't guarantee entrance.  Fortunately, I got there early enough that I was 3rd to last to secure entry.  For future lines there, if it...
