First up;
Mountain of Wizards. Great instrumental band. Kinda on a retro rock tip, but a bit heavier. Great stuff. The drummer is the current drummer for EYeHateGod. Very rocking and groove oriented. Cool dual leads from the guitarists. I honestly forgot what Amos they were using, but the were representin Gibson with one SG and one LP. Good stuff. Picked up their 7".
Windhand:
I've seen them once before and they're awesome at what they do. Full Black Amps stack, full White Amps stack, and the bass player was playing two 8x10s, powered by an older Ampeg (maybe an SVT) and the slaved into a Sunn coliseum slave head for the other cab. WALL OF FUCKING FUZZ to say the least. I was looking at the one guitarists fuzz pedal, which I didn't recognize, but he literally had the gain and volume at 10, and the tone knob at 0. If you dig slow stoner doom, WindHand is a fucking must.
HOF;
The main attraction. Now I must admit, I'm a much bigger fan of Sleep than I am HOF, not that I dislike them, but sleep is just more my thing. Fatt Pike was fucking great and so was the band. This was one of the last shows on this shirt tour, before they head up to Salem MA to record a new album at God City with Kurt Ballou. They were tight and on point for the majority of the set. They played 2-3 brand new songs that are going to be on the new album. Sounded like they're not changing their style up much, which is either great or horrible depending on your take of their music.
Pike was playing his normal LP (I think he's had that LP forever) with about 6 pedals into some sort of giant combo amp. I honestly have never seen anything like it. It had a couple knobs up front, of what seemed like a 4x12 combo, and another matching 4x12. I noticed he had a Soldano two stomp footswitch for it, but I did not see any branding on the amp itself.
For pedals I remember seeing a ToneBone, what I think was a Bogner distortion pedal (the red one in the pic) a MXR Phase 99 (that's a new one to me) some weird tuner and a handful of other pedals I didn't recognize.
Anyway, here's some pics and feel free to identify more of the pedalboards. Overall tone from all the bands was great and the show was a lot of fun.
