September 1st, 2019 at Come and Take It Live, Austin TX
Got to see a couple old friends this weekend. Ron Holzner (my ex-Earthen Grave bandmate) and Chad Walls (drummer in The Living Fields) were in Austin to tear it up with The Skull and Orange Goblin, respectively. Orange Goblin’s drummer was denied a visa days before the tour began, so Ron recommended Chad as a fill-in (Chad did the same for Earthen Grave in 2011 and has done a few tours with The Skull as well). Chad got the call while on vacation, 4 days before the tour started. He learned their 20-song headlining set without a drum kit, borrowed some clothes, flew to New York, had a single rehearsal and apparently killed it every night. He was certainly on when I saw them. Guy’s a machine. Both bands killed.
Terrible photos follow…
