A Deer A Horse

Monday, August 28thBig Business + A Deer A Horse9pm - $12 - All AgesBIG BUSINESSLos Angeles, CAhttps://bigbigbusiness.bandcamp.com/Big Business is a band. They play heavy rock. On that, we can all agree. Things get tricky when you try to classify exactly where on the musical spectrum the dynamic duo’s racket falls. “I guess psychedelic heavy metal punk rock? I don’t know. People always say ‘sludge rock,’ which I always found to be lazy and kind of inaccurate," says drummer Coady Willis. "A lot of our songs are fast, and it’s not like we’re playing a half-assed Black Sabbath riff over and over again. That’s been the struggle of the band. We’re a band that doesn’t really fit into what everyone else is doing."Willis comes from punk rockers The Murder City Devils. His co-conspirator, bassist/vocalist Jared Warren, spent time in noise rock weirdos Karp. Together, they formed Big Business in 2004. The LA-based outfit’s first three albums didn’t quite mesh with Hydra Head’s post-metal aesthetic, but their idiosyncrasies caught the attention of another iconoclastic outfit: The Melvins. They recorded three albums, an EP, and various songs between 2006 and 2016 with that iconic grunge/doom/experimental act, all while maintaining their own identity as Big Business. Along the way, they picked up guitarists Toshi Kasai and Scott Martin, but on 2016’s Command Your Weather, they returned to their core duo format. They remain in that lineup on their sixth full-length, The Beast You Are.“It’s just better. We work faster, and we know what we’re both going for. It gives us more room to be weirder in certain aspects and try different things. It makes sense because that’s how we established ourselves in the beginning and how we learned to write songs together, it was just the two of us. Coming back to that lineup felt natural,” continues Willis. The two performed everything on the album, which was recorded between the early November and early December of 2018 at El Studio in San Francisco by Phil Becker (Pins of Light, Terry Gross). Willis, Warren, and Becker handled the mixing, with Carl Saff lending his mastering expertise to the final product. Once more, Warren has hacked up some construction paper for one of his unique cover art pieces.With a new, dynamic demoing process leading to the creation of the most songs they’ve ever written for an album, The Beast You Are delivers 13 doses of uncategorizably heavy rock music. From the ominous death march of “The Moor You Know” to the soaring “Let Them Grind” to the delicate, ethereal “Under Everest,” Big Business continues to defy listener’s expectations. No matter the context of their music, however, one thing remains true: they are definitely still a band.A Deer A HorseBrooklyn, NY http://adeerahorse.bandcamp.comFrom their roots in Brooklyn’s DIY scene, A Deer A Horse has grown into a relentless touring act over the years. The band has clocked in nearly 250 shows across the country since 2017. ADAH is comprised of Rebecca Satellite (vocals/guitar) and Angela Phillips (bass/vocals), and  Dylan Teggart (drums). Their debut EP, Backswimmer, drew praise from the AV Club, who noted the band’s unlikely marriage of doom metal dirges with vocal ear-worms.In 2018, ADAH released singles “Cold Shoulder” and “Double Wide” in anticipation of their new EP, Everything Rots That Is Rotten. The EP aims to reflect upon the current socio-political moment, offering the possibility of catharsis in the midst of systemic corruption. Everything Rots That Is Rotten was recorded at Silver Cord Studio, home-base of French metal pioneers, Gojira, and will be released on Detroit’s Corpse Flower Records.
