Loathe on a Boat gig videos

Uncategorized

Last week we played a boat party gig, the band’s second so far. We played to an awesome audience alongside our Maltese metal-meisters SLIT. It was a great night and a solid warm up to our upcoming appearance at arguably Malta’s largest summer event, the Farson’s Beer Festival.

A boat made entirely of metal. Brütal!

We’re also lucky enough to have footage of almost the entire set on the boat, which we are sharing with you below. All the video was taken by John Gauci, who on the night was given the title of ‘World’s craziest photographer’. Excuse the sound, again, blame John, he likes to move around us on stage, and the minute he gets close to an amp or a cymbal, y’kow, it sort of takes over. Still, the video captures the emotion well. Enjoy, and hope to see as many of you as possible on the 25th of July.

2: Farsons Great Beer Festival 2011

 

This year, Loathe will be gracing the Farsons Great Beer Festival on Monday the 25th of July. The venue is the Ta’Qali National Park. We will be playing alongside In the Name Of, Indigo, Club Murder and Norm Rejection in what promises to be an epic night of beer, metal and debauchery. How can you contribute to the madness? Simple.

Wear any Loathe t-shirt to the Beerfest and get a Loathe EP for free. Couldn’t be simpler now, could it?

 

3: Anything else?

 

Yeah, maybe. There is a possibility of more gigs during the Summer of 2011, but nothing is confirmed at this point. Stay updated with Loathe news on this site or on Facebook.

Thanks for an awesome Pre-Valentine

Uncategorized

The Pre-Valentine Massacre 7 has come and gone, and as happens every year, we are humbled and grateful for the great turnout and vibe we had.

This year we hit Gozo with our buddies Knockturn Alley, and regardless of late venue changes and other assorted annoyances, we had a great time playing at the Prekursur Band Club in Xewkija. We drank lots, and if you’re in Knockturn Alley, ran up walls.

Three days later we played at the customary Pre-Valentine venue, Remedy. Thrashers Angelcrypt dropped out due to sudden illness, and we wish the dude a speedy recovery.

The gig was great, with non-stop pits and quite a few of the Gozitans from the weekend returned and moshed along! Truly a great atmosphere, and we can’t thank you enough for it.

Here’s a few photos from both nights. They’re all by Audri, except for the Loathe and Knockturn Alley shot, I don’t who that’s by. But thanks! If you have any more pics, send away!

We also want to thank Eve at Remedy, Steve Lombardo, Matthew Natoli and the guys at Xewkija. Cheers all and we’ll see you at the Shellshock Festival on the 12th of March.

Loathe are playing in the land of Gozo

Uncategorized

It may seem odd to you, the humble reader, that even as a touring band, Loathe has never actually played in the second largest land mass of the Maltese archipelago; Gozo.

We carved the letters into the rock for demonstration purposes

Well, that’s going to change as of today month! We have decided to kick 2011 in the nuts very early on!

It is the seventh year running in which we are going to keep our appointment for the Pre Valentine Massacre, but this time, we’ve added another leg to it, a date in Gozo!

The date is the 5th of February, the venue is a cool as hell new club in Rabat called Mirage, across the street from Mc Donalds in Arkadia.

Entrance fee is €6, but get this, if you come to the Gozo gig, you get into the Malta gig 4 days later for free!

That’s right, €6 buys you entrance to both nights!

This is Loathe at the Pre Valentine 6 in 2010. You know not to expect any less.

As is our yearly tradition, we shall be playing with our best buddies Knockturn Alley. We have also recruited DJ Dunk, or Matthew Natoli, the organiser of many metal nights in Gozo to spin some quality tunes for you before we get on stage.

Facebook event for Gozo gig here: http://on.fb.me/pre-val 7_in_gozo

As to the Malta gig, it’s happening at Remedy, and apart from Knockturn Alley, we also have legendary thrash metal band Angelcrypt joining the fray. Price is again €6, or free if you came to the Gozo gig.

We’ll have merchandise available on both nights, although if you want something specific, it may be best to get in touch with the band beforehand and let us know, so as to avoid disappointment.

Hope to see loads of you out there!
