BRIAN J. BEATRICE

Gnaw embarks on their first European tour on October 13th, 2010. After being invited to this year’s Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, UK, Gnaw decide to tack on 2 weeks of European dates to precede it. The specifics are still in the works and everything is subject to change, but it’s looking something like this:

October 13 Antwerp
October 14 Brussels
October 15 Bielefeld
October 16 Paris
October 17 Lausanne
October 18 Karlruhe
October 19 TBD
October 20 Lyon
October 21 Milan
October 23 UK Birmingham Supersonic Festival

1981 LP Custom > Blackout Effectors Musket > Line6 POD, Tube Preamp Setting, No Drive

It took too many years of searching and deliberating, but I finally pulled the trigger and couldn’t be more pissed that I didn’t do it sooner. This thing is a beast. Nicknamed by its previous owner “Ronson” after the late under-acclaimed guitarist  and collaborator of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust years (among other things) because of the natural wood finish, this guitar is a 1981 Les Paul Custom. All stock except the professional refret job. Sick.

Mick Ronson in 1973 as one of the “Spiders from Mars” with his similar Les Paul Custom:

This week’s Village Voice features an article about Khanate and their recent “Clean Hands Go Foul” LP. It is appropriately situated on page 66.

Also, Dubin hates a lot of things. Babies, dogs, and wives are not spared in this seething interview on the Obelisk blog.

In a short but positive review, WIRE magazine issue 302 calls Gnaw “a terrifying rock sextet whose blackened vision has enough dark energy to blot out the sun.” They go on to describe the debut, “This Face”, as “unsettling but vital listening”.  The April 2009 issue featuring SunnO))), Adrian Utley, Magma and more is currently on newstands.

Also, look for an upcoming feature on Pitchfork’s Show No Mercy, an article/interview in Terrorizer UK and a review in LOUD! from Spain
