Monte Luna Live Stream Show via Cvlt Nation
Today (July 3rd) at 9:30 pm EST, Texas sludge machine Monte Luna will broadcast their bulletin of Doom to the human race. A 3 track transmission straight from the amplifiers of Monte Luna and beamed into homes around the world. The catalyst? CVLT Nation!
In regards to the stream, Monte Luna says: ”This video is our take on the Cvlt Nation live streams as well as the streams everyone is doing, we've seen some good streams and some bad streams.We decided to go all "live at Pompeii" on it! We have been fortunate to quarantine as a band, and we miss seeing you all, we wanted to send off a broadcast into deep space, we hope you received this transmission well Earthlings! sit back, smoke up, drop some lsd and enjoy...your eyes are dazed and heavy..”
You can tune into the stream HERE.
According to the description of the video, guitarist/vocalist James Cl mentions: “A portion of all the sales from this video and Bandcamp release will go toward keeping our home The Lost Well open. This is a cause that means a lot to us. It's our roots and the first venue in Austin that we played.”
The Lost Well is a dive bar in Austin, Texas where Monte Luna must’ve frequented quite a bit based on the earnestness of the vocalist’s tribute. Austin, along with other places in the world (including in Ontario) have seen many small music venues close due to the COVID-19 outbreak, not just because of social distancing measures, but also due to the fact that many local venues can’t keep up with finances without the help of government support. If you have a local venue that you used to frequent to drink, smoke, or attend a good thrashing show, then I urge you to help your local venues in any way you can. Best way to help is to donate directly to them, but it’ll only work if everybody chips in. Find your local venue and find out how you can support them through donations.
From parking-lot origins to Icelandic black metal chills, this episode is stacked with riffs, chaos, and fresh stories from the scene.
