Karma To Burn are a mostly instrumental stoner rock band from West Virginia that combine 70’s style hard rock riffs, fuzzy distortion and psychedelia. They’ve released several smoked filled albums like “Karma To Burn” “Almost Heathen” and “Wild, Wonderful… Purgatory.” So light them up and enjoy the evening.
Also playing: Snake Mountain – dirty, grimmy, rock n’ roll from Denver.
The Sword are a stoner/doom metal band from Austin, Texas. They combine old school thrash guitar work and the harmonic pinches and squeals of the modern metal styles; with thunderous drumming. Loud and heavy, like “the sound of a bunch of bison being pushed over a cliff.”
