670.0. "Genocide" by CAVLRY::BUCK () Sun Dec 29 1991 21:29

    Genocide...
    
    Those who were at the Mystic party over the weekend heard em slay out a
    few thrash-based rockin tunz.
    
    Chris says this band formed out of the nucleus of a former
    Marlboro-based band called Sentinel.  Genocide are a 3 piece band with
    a front man (same line-up as Mystic).  Their material is a little
    heavier and speed-oriented than MP's, although it is apparent that both
    bands share some of the same musical influences.
    
    Our divine Goddess knows a llt more about this band than I do, so maybe
    she can provide some addl info.

	Genocide, the other band that came down and played, was great. Good originals and very personable people. We'll be doing shows with them in the future.

	Yeah I met Tim Mckeon (singer) and Richie (guitarist) over the summer. Went to see 'em a few times in their former band Sentinal. Cool guys to hang with. Chris

	Some tunes I remember from Saturday's jam... George, the Iguana @$$h*le Excorcist F-dot and I liked George the best

	Hmm.. don't have too much info but... I first saw Genocide at a keg party last summer. I thought they were really great! Since then the lineup has changed and the only original player is John Lamont (bass).. from what I understand he has written most of the songs himself. This band plays mostly originals and a few covers for fun. The first song they played was "______ Mosh".. I think the second song was called "Pressure".. then the assh(le song.. then Excorcist, then George the Iguana.. Goddess F.

	I agree with what Pete has said...they are all nice and cordial guys. The guitar player seemed a tad distant, but maybe that was one of those guitarist-to-guitarist thangs...who knows?! The singer wears his Jaymz Hetfield influence on his sleeve well. He's also a very cool $#!t to hang with.

	Funny you should mention the bassist wrote a lot of Genocide's tunz. That was one aspect I picked up on about Genocide and their similarities to Mystic...a very good bassist, who had a strong presence in the material. Not your a-typical rock bassist who plays eighth notes ala Judas, but a more modern player ala Nirvana, etc., who plays more lines with the drums. The bass player for Genocide has good chops, and does decent backing vocals. He sounded great thru Steve's Marshall stack, too.
670.7		VCSESU::VCSESU::COOK	Harvester of Sorrow	`Mon Dec 30 1991 13:29`	4
	I want them to do the Stadium Club show with us. It'll be a good bill, plus we're gonna be getting big time exposure at that show.
670.8		KIDVAX::CESCOBAR	Steamroller Action Crushing All	`Mon Dec 30 1991 13:30`	7
	I remember Tim played the bass for Sentinal. He's pretty good, I've seen him play For Whom The Bell Tolls. and a bunch of other sht. I agree. he's cool as sht. I had a ball over the summer helpin' download his equipment after a show. the guy's a riot.
670.9		VCSESU::VCSESU::COOK	Harvester of Sorrow	`Mon Dec 30 1991 13:31`	2
	Well, he loves our stuff, so he's cool in my book. 8-)
