I’m a little late on this one, as I was networked through to this a couple of months ago. Black Light Burns is – I don’t know if I would use the term supergroup- greatgroup? It’s a greatgroup made up of *gulp* former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, plus two Nine Inch Nails boys, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner (who only played on the album, but don’t contribute live. Hmmmm…..just the opposite of their NIN situation). It is basically the band that evolved from The Damning Well, which featured HRC fave Richard Patrick (Filter, AoA).
I’d have to say their shit is pretty good. If the utterance of LB scared you- Borland was a stick out in that band- he’s a freak. I’m a little upset that they are not touring the Bay Area- I bet they are fun live. Check it out.
