New Live Blood On The Wall - "Reunite On Ice" & "Hibernation/Ditch"

thubmnail icon: New Live Blood On The Wall - "Reunite On Ice" & "Hibernation/Ditch"

One of our biggest SXSW regrets is somehow managing to miss Blood On The Wall's set(s). BOTW's slayed since the 2005 debut, but Liferz builds on the past achievements, delivering a more concise, catchy, and skillfully sloppy take on that Mudhoney-on-Sonic Youth garage scowl. A couple recordings of BOTW tearing up the stage at the Social Registry's SXSW showcase, softening the blow of our Texas-sized lapse. There are two Liferz tunes ("Hibernation" and "Ditch," which come joined at the hip) and the Awesomer oldie "Reunite On Ice." Remember the video for that one?

Btw, BOTW have also put together visual documentation of SXSW '08, which they've set (and sung) to "Hibernation."

Your eyes aren't playing tricks: Miggle Littleton's no longer in the band ... the guy in the picture and the video is new skinsman Zach Campbell. Miggie, hopefully we run into you and your used records sometime soon.
