LUDICHRIST: Overheard At Last Rehearsal…

'80s hardcore metal act LUDICHRIST and the band formed out of its remains, SCATTERBRAIN, will reunite for a one-off performance at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City on February 23, 2007. The bandmemers have issued the following update on the rehearsal sessions for the upcoming gig:

"OK, so now the show is less than four months away. We're only practicing once a week, but that's enough for now. We've gotten through all the LUDICHRIST stuff and are starting to tighten it up. Some of these songs (a few on 'Powertrip') are pretty hard to learn and play. The songs change parts every few seconds; the same riff is rarely repeated the same number of times, the drums are always doing something atypical; the guitars duel; and on and on and on. And even the uncomplicated songs are so freakin' fast that it takes some work to play them. We'll start on the SCATTERBRAIN stuff soon.

Overheard at our last rehearsal…

'Why the fuck does this part change every 2 seconds?'
'Who wrote this shit?'
'These are the stupidest fuckin' lyrics ever – don't ask me what I was thinking.'
'Let's just cut that part.'
'Tighten that up.'
'How are we supposed to do this for over two hours?'
'That's a stupid fuckin' song.'
'Hold it, my fingers hurt.'
'Does anybody know what I'm supposed to be singing on this part?'
'Just play anything.'
'Are we sure we want to play this song?'
'Totally disregard everything I'm about to play.'
'You're playing too fast.'
'You're playing too slow.'
'I forgot to bring my guitar.'

"That's it for now - we'll keep you updated. Look for an announcement on the opening bands soon.

"One final note…To all of you that write us and say come to ____________. It's nice to be wanted and we appreciate the love, but we ain't comin' to you brothers and sisters. You gotta come to us. We're playing in NYC, not on the moon. Get yourself a ticket and take yourself a little trip — we'd love to see ya…"
