2011 was done and over!
But not even a week into 2012 and I was already plagued with “gig withdrawal symptoms” and eager to begin this year’s concert shenanigans. Luckily I didn’t have to wait that long!
First weekend in 2012 and I found myself driving down to Denver, CO for a show that could have been “all local” except for one little ingredient; California’s Cattle Decapitation was on the bill; SCORE!
And no, you didn’t miss their tour announcement because they actually didn’t tour. The guys traveled from San Diego, CA to the Mile High City to record their new album with Dave Otero Flatline Audio and played some shows while en route.
I haven’t seen Cattle Decap since Oct. 2010 and I was super stoked to catch up with the dudes and this sadly meant I totally missed the local openers IronHorse, Cattleist and Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire.
We all have been to shows where the room is somewhat empty for the local acts until the national bands appear on stage. I am glad to say this was not the case at the Marquis Theater in downtown Denver, CO that night. I am guesstimating around 300 metal heads in attendance from start to finish; kudos to all for supporting local metal!
