Brothers and bronies

Saturday night I headed back over to Mavericks for another helping of heavy metal - all local acts this time. The headliner was Loviatar, who have a new EP out, Druid's Curse. They were supported by Hellbros and Rainbow Pony Power, whose intruigingly un-metal name has been popping up on show posters for some time now.

They've got some runaway train music hooked up to some filthy lyrics.

Also, I suspect they like Pantera.

On to Hellbros, who rocked as usual, including a cover of Ace of Spades.

Bassist Stabatron has apparently decamped to Average Times full-time, and been replaced by Big Jeezus Truck's Matt Spag.

Loviatar then finished things off. All the sets were a little on the short side (there was an earlier show at Mavericks, and things only got underway at 11), but really sharp.

Also they like their lighting blue, which as a photographer is a decision I wholly support.

You can get Druid's Curse at their bandcamp.
