Loud Fast Rules!

LFR, summer, etc

2006-04-12T19:27:00.001-04:00

So I've been a bit slack about updating this. Here's the final 2 shows for Live Fast Rules for the semester:

April 18th: Ground:Xero (black metal from Lawrenceville/Athens)
April 25th: the Dumps (heavy sludge metal from Athens)

Sometime in May: A Silence Falls Between Us (rerecording because our equipment died)

Stay tuned over the summer for announcements of Live Fast Rules dates for the fall.

Also keep listening this summer, because we won't have live bands (and Deef will be graduating) so I, Greg, will be having lots of special stuff to play, plenty of local metal, and whatever shenanigans I can think of.

Check out our myspace.com page for all the current info and add us if you haven't already. We check that page more frequently.

For those of you who start at this page and wonder why the website hasn't been updated because you link through here, I am sorry. I have forgotten to change the URL link, so now it is updated with all, well most of the most current info. So check it out.

Live Fast Rules! '06

2006-01-16T18:00:00.000-05:00

Jan. 24th Of Legend (hardcore)
Jan. 31st Cobra Clutch (hardcore)
Feb. 7th Ender's Game (prog metal)
Feb. 28th Coulier (experimental metal)

Also keep an ear out for our exclusive interview with High on Fire!! after they come to Athens Jan. 28th at the 40 Watt. I expect everyone to be in attendance. Metal bands of this caliber almost never come to Athens. Perhaps they will if folks show up and support heavy music. Also on the bill are Buried Inside, the Bronx, and Big Business. Our new site is almost ready and it promises to be awesome and informative.

New Semester, Same Awesome Music

2006-01-11T13:51:00.000-05:00

Greg and Deef are now the DJs for Loud Fast Rules, just like the good ol' days. We've been cut back to 2 hours, but we hope to expand and have the Midnight Snack album on Tuesday's be metal so that you get to hear the whole second half of a brand new metal release at 12. Requests can be instant messaged to wuogger or called in at (706) 542-4567. Also keep an eye out for our soon to be completed new official website which will feature a request form and past playlists.

As always we need more local bands to come play Live Fast Rules. The only tenative show so far is Ender's Game (prog metal) from Atlanta on Feb. 7th. Soon to be scheduled are Of Legend and Cobra Clutch (both Athens hardcore), Coulier (instrumental/experimental/awesome), Uther Pendragon (power metal! from Atlanta), and a return performance with From Exile and featuring a whole new set from their recently recorded LP. E-mail syndication@wuog.org for booking info.

That's right, live metal during LFR! Recently discovered local metal masters include Cave Wizard and the Dumps. Tenative dates for the Knife Trade: Oct. 11th and From Exile: Oct. 18th. All shows will be at 10 pm and they will be available for podcast as well. In addition, LFR will soon be mp3 streamed and archived as a part of the syndication project at WUOG. Check www.wuog.org/syndication for more details. Athens (and Georgia) metal is alive and well, and soon to be rocking your radio. Stay tuned for all the above mentioned bands, as well as Daath and Golden Emperor, and more.

More metal means more fun!

2005-08-17T17:20:00.000-04:00

Woo Hoo!! LFR is now 3 hours of metal madness still beginning at 10 and lasting until 1am. Also we now have 3 hosts: Greg, Michael (Deef), and Gary. One more thing to look out for: local thrash kings the Knife Trade will be rocking live during LFR sometime this fall. They have a new drummer and bassist and are poised to take over the world.

If any local metal/hardcore bands are reading this, leave a comment and contact info and we'll do our best to get your music, and maybe even you on the show.

The beginning of something wonderful...
