Weedeater are a wild breed of music with their sludge metal music, from North Carolina. They have been together long enough to release four full-length albums, with their most recent album having just come out last month. Tonight it is all about their biggest songs and their biggest songs only, who would know anyway, as I’m pretty sure the horde of punters literally took the band name quite literally, as they probably had it for the dinner before they came to the show this evening. It’s hard to describe their music as it is so loose and rough – sludgy might just be the perfect word for it. Their opening song is called “Hammerhandle” which induces many mosh pits but definitely the slowest mosh pits I’ve ever seen with everyone looking a little bit worse for wear, one member of the audience even stumbles onto the stage, managing to keep his drink in hand, and then wanders around it for a little bit before falling off.
