IT’S A LONG WAY TO LONGUYLAND, AND NOT JUST FOR 1349

I have a bone to pick with the people over at Google Maps. Me and some kids made our way out to the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale for the big Cannibal Corpse Evisceration Plague tour this past Sunday, and were lead astray by the usually trusty Google Maps app on our iPhones. According to those dbags, THIS IS WHERE THE CRAZY DONKEY IS. Does that look like a venue to you guys? No? That’s because it’s someone’s house. On a dead end street. Ugh.

We finally figured out where the hell we were going in time to see Skeletonwitch Snugglewitch plays about 40% of their last song. Damnit. Curse you, Google Maps. But we were at least in time for 1349, who were making their big debut on this tour after being held up by that big stupid doo doo head volcano in Iceland. For once I felt like I could relate to these guys….ya know, the whole struggling to reach our destination thing. Hmm…what else do we have in common? Well….we’re all white, and we all breathe oxygen, and uhhhh….I’m out. At any rate, they sounded pretty good, and Ravn (who I recently interviewed here) seems to be in pretty good shape. Maybe he’s been Master Cleansing.

Here’s a clip from Youtube of 1349 playing one of the new jams:”When I Was Flesh.” 

Their new album Demonoir is out now. Check out the remaining dates on their MySpace.
