Band of Skulls "The Devil Takes Care of His Own"

This video might not be new but it's new to me. Sort of like when you get new shoes from Goodwill. Except this video smells way way better. But oddly enough has way less karate, weird right?

The Whigs & Band Of Skulls Coming To Town 4/15

The Whigs along with The Band of Skulls are coming to The Martini Ranch in Scottsdale on April 15th. I would go to this show if not for two factors that can not be ignored. 1)It's at The Martini Ranch and I am not so fond of that place after being in a cover band there for a year 2) It's the same night as Yeasayer at The Rhythm Room. I know that Yeasayer's new album Odd Blood isn't getting a lot of love out there but I really like it so you can kiss my grits Alice. But anyway tickets to either shows can be had via Stateside Presents

Stream: Band of Skulls "Friends"

Speaking of the New Moon soundtrack that leaked today the Band of Skulls are also on there with a new song called "Friends". They are probably one of the lesser known bands on the OST but they are great and so is this song. SO SUCK IT!

Photos: Band of Skulls at Modified Arts 8/1/2009

Oh goodness gracious when Modified Arts is crowed it an awesome place to see a show! Especially when you are right up front and the huge fan is blowing on your fat bearded ass, you see that way its only like 102 degrees in there. Band of Skulls despite the obviously much higher temperatures than they are used to put on total fucking rock show. If fact when they left before their encore it was the only time at Modified that I have ever heard a chant start for the band to come back. If you missed it that sucks for you because I am sure the next time they roll through town it will be a way bigger place and cost way more than $10. The rest of the shots after the break and a bunch more pics on our Flickr page HERE

Band of Skulls at Modified Tonight

Kick ass Band of Skulls from England are going to be sweating their pasty Anglo asses off tonight at Modified Arts and I am going to be there sweating my slightly less pasty Anglo ass off with them...taking pictures of course, that's what I freaking do! I do expect it to be a kick ass show with shit ton of people smashed in there smelling shit. Tickets are $10 and availble HERE Doors open at 8pm. See you there!
