Informal Booking wants you to come out to celebrate JBOT’s birthday with a brutal lineup that will make the hardest of critics rethink their musical choices.
Captured! By Robots coming all the way from San Francisco to Greenville for ONE NIGHT. They are 2 ass kicking robots, 1 stupid human. Brutal pummeling music. End of story. But you wanna read more crap? Okay, idiot human. C!BR has been touring the world since 1997, playing thousands of dive bars for millions of drunk humans. In 1996, Jay Vance made the robots because he was extremely unlikable, and wanted to play in a band after all his past human bands hated him. He got to work. Shortly after, GTRBOT666 and DRMBOT 0110 were born. After a horrible accident involving many drugs and a chemical spill, the Bots became self aware and captured the human, now renamed JBOT. It was decided that they would travel the country, rocking out while bent on world domination and humiliating the masked and chained idiotic human in front of his human peers. C!BR’s newly found united aggression towards humanity has been channeled into fast n loud music, designed to deafen and destroy, to pound and pummel, breaking your bones with brutal tones.
TONE STS, the only death band in Greenville, SC… they are a legit trio ready to melt all faces. For fans of: Primitive Man, FOH, Harms Way, Bodyvoid, Christworm, GateCreeper, Craft, Funeral Chic
Malevich are grinding blackened angst quartet from Atlanta. To hear a sample of them with their recent split with Iron Gag check out malevichatlanta.bandcamp.com
Bathe is noise. grind. doom. All the way from the state’s capitol they never disappoint live. Their sound is like no other. The art alone.
