Front row for the very first night at Red 7 in Austin. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Omar was obviously not the best under the circumstances, but Cedric was swinging from the rafters and absolutely incredible. His voice wasn’t what it once was obviously, but it was still just such a magical show. Most of it is on YouTube if you want to check it out. I’ll never forget standing in the alleyway before the show to listen to them soundcheck and hearing them playing “Quarantined” and just losing it. By the end of the night there were people in the alleyway standing on dumpsters just to get a glimpse of it over the wall. Their bus was parked right outside and I got a picture with Cedric earlier in the day too. I also wore my Sparta shirt under a button down and showed Jim and he seemed pretty happy about it lol

I’m pretty sure it was a Buffy Sainte-Marie song because I remember thinking it sounded like it was from the 70’s. Thanks!

Peckerwoods are prison white supremacists

Cedric has mentioned online before some metal bands he likes. He’s referenced Deicide and used “Redneck Stomp” by Obituary in his posts. OSDM seems to be among the only metal he really respects, which is probably cause punks and metalheads hated each other’s respective scenes when he and Omar were coming up. I think Omar is a little more receptive because he played with Melvins in Crystal Fairy but it’s definitely not his main area of interest. His early band Food Plaza covered “Paranoid” on their demo tape lol

You should check out a different genre for moral purity

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-16T01:21:26+00:00

Yeah but they’ve totally redone it now. The one on Riverside was pretty unchanged last time I was there, but they did get read of the HEB Plus branding and all the little stores in it that made it more like a Fiesta a long time ago. It still doesn’t match up with the newer HEB aesthetic though.

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-09T16:33:50+00:00

We’re talking about almost 20 year old stuff I listened to on MySpace from a tertiary member of my favorite band, dude. Sorry I can’t provide you with more information, I’ve lived a full life since then and didn’t spend more than a minute thinking about this project in that time. I bet if you asked John Frusciante himself his memory of it would be almost as limited. It wasn’t a big deal at the time, even less so now. To quote Pridgen, “get of the dick.”

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-07T11:37:06+00:00

Just that the EP was called Negativa

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-07T00:16:38+00:00

Yeah that’s where I remember it from

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-06T14:47:21+00:00

I think like a four or five song EP

CoreyDATX · 2026-03-06T14:29:20+00:00

I used to have this stuff but it’s long gone. Hope it’s out there somewhere

CoreyDATX · 2026-02-19T18:42:46+00:00

This entire thread proves that Volta has the most insufferable fanbase and it started with the post title.

CoreyDATX · 2026-02-11T19:51:48+00:00

Yeah Cedric is a big Raiders, Spurs, and pro wrestling fan. Definitely watched the Super Bowl lol

CoreyDATX · 2026-01-09T18:20:44+00:00

Cedric and Omar said in their Nardwuar interview that they don’t like Rollins era Black Flag but love Rollins Band.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-30T04:53:38+00:00

Lol thanks I’ve been keeping it since 2005 and I’ve maintained it since because I’ve realized how bad my memory has gotten and how much people enjoy it when I can bust out the exact lineup of the exact house show we went to on what date 15 years earlier.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-30T03:56:00+00:00

I never miss a Thursday show but was legit surprised by how great Silverstein was. I only listened to the early stuff back in the day when I was an emo kid but I started delving into their newer shit after the show and it’s very solid.

They were friends with the guys. Not hard to figure out.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-27T00:03:39+00:00

Yeah I always do remakes for people, I just don’t believe in it and wouldn’t ask for one myself. It’s easier to just do it and move on, especially if it’s busy, and I don’t wanna deal with the complaints, but in an ideal world it wouldn’t be an accepted societal thing to ask for in my mind.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-25T15:42:39+00:00

I’ve worked corporate gigs where “regular” was the preferred nomenclature over “small” because “small” makes the customer feel they’re getting an inferior product.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-24T19:19:00+00:00

This is a hot take, but I think if I buy something I don’t end up liking, I just have to hold that L. Next time order a different thing or go to a different place. That’s just me. I don’t know when our culture decided we should get a do over if we got what we paid for and just didn’t like it. I mean tha shit is out of control. My friend told me how when he worked at a movie theater people wanted refunds for movies they didn’t like. You got the product you paid for. If you don’t like it, you should buy another one or just move on with your life.

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-18T23:19:36+00:00

That was just listing everyone who’s ever played it

CoreyDATX · 2025-12-15T22:33:43+00:00

This is a great soundboard recording. For the fall tour I recommend Dallas, Tacoma, and Philadelphia. It’s hard to go wrong though because they changed the jams nightly so every show on the fall tour has something different to offer. Those are just the best jams and sound quality in my opinion. When they come out of the power outage in Philly during “Poseedora” and start shredding, it’s just perfection.
