Down 9/16/11 at Austin's Fuel Room

19.09.11

After a two-year wait since their last trip to the midwest, metal superstars Down returned to IL and instead of playing Chicago opted once again to play in Libertyville at Austin's Fuel Room. Hundreds of fans packed the restaurant portion of the venue waiting the extra hour delay for the doors to open and in doing so got themselves good and wasted before the venue doors even opened.

Well over an hour later than the advertised start time, Pony Killer finally took the stage to begin the night's entertainment. They announced they have a record coming out that will be produced by Phil Anselmo (singer of Down) which must have been an attempt to win over the crowd. They seemed like they were a band unable to decide what their influences or direction were. Sometimes they were heavy, often times they were psychedelic, sometimes they were experimental, and sometimes they were an indie rock band. All of this conflict occurred during every song. There would be small portions of songs that would sound really good and then suddenly they would go off in a completely different direction. The results were too haphazard most of the time. At times they showed real promise, but those times weren't often enough unfortunately.
