Philadelphia's Javelina is playing the Knitting Factory on July 14th along with Demiricous and Monstrosity. Javelina just released their debut CD on Translation Loss Records and the tracks that I have heard from it are seriously heavy (and good).

Blabbermouth describes these guys as "early, sludgified MASTODON...with the unhinged screech vocals and over amped guitar lines) of LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR."

You have to dig some of Javelina's other press quotes:

"Throw in equal parts Eyehategod (speed it up a bit and use less heroin, though) and “Technocracy”-era Corrosion Of Conformity (well, add moments of “Blind”, too), add a dash or two of Soilent Green/ Goatwhore, and include a few post-thrash/ sludge/ stoner touches evocative of newer acts such as The Fucking Wrath, and you have Javelina’s debut full-length in a nutshell." ---LiveForMetal.Com

"Things go from ugly to uglier in a hurry and you find yourself wondering how the fuck Iron Maiden, Motörhead, early C.O.C. and Celtic Frost... could ever be assembled into something so seamless and crushing." - Decibel

Looks like this would be a fun show and cheers to the Knitting Factory for continuing to book metal acts.
