Please relive Today is the Day live at Roadburn 2011, courtesy of VPRO 3voor12. The audio stream has been mixed by Marcel van der Vondervoort at Torture Garden Studio.
“It’s been a while since I saw Steve Austin and the boys – both of whom are members of excellent NYC noiserock-metallers Wetnurse – and I managed to miss ‘em on their own recent UK tour due to their playing locally the night before I was due to fly out, so I was pretty keen to catch up with ‘em.
They didn’t disappoint. As full-on and intense as ever, a bug-eyed and shrieking Austin smashed his way through the first three tracks from ‘In The Eyes Of God’ in rapid succession, ably abetted by current drummer Curran Reynolds and bassist Ryan Jones – proud wielder of the most berserk-looking bass guitar I have clapped eyes on in quite some time, a salmon pink (?), tiger-striped BC Rich Warlock, sporting luminous yellow strings. They played a set of killers spanning all eras of the band and threw in a brand-new track that just SLAYED. Standing next to me in the tightly-packed crowd – it was a small room – were the ever-splendid Jamie Grimes of Drainland and his lovely missus Una, and when TITD ploughed into the frankly obscene guitarless ‘Pinnacle’, Mr Grimes leaned in and told me that THIS was ‘their’ song. That says it all really. A blinding set of full-blown aural perversion” – Paul Robertson / The Sleeping Shaman.
