Here is the show info: Slim's San Francisco, CA Friday Aug 22nd Type O Negative 40Grit Doors @ 8pm Tix $20 ALL AGES http://www.slims-sf.com/ "Last Friday we played our first time ever with Death Angel one of my all time favorite bands since I was 14. I didn't really know what kind of reaction we were going to get because of such different styles of music. That and this was our new bass players first show with 40GRiT. He was a nervous wreck haha but to our surprise it was a GREAT FUCKING SHOW! He fucking rocked the house! I think everyone got to see why we picked him. I hope in the near future we get to hit the stage with one of the best live bands again. The night after I was asked by Powerslave.com to be a part of the birthday bash. I was asked to do "Wasted Years" from none other than IRON FUCKING MAIDEN!!! I was a wreck that night because I had to learn the solo the same day and all five members that were picked to jam the song have never practice with each other. So our first time was for the sound check and it was fucking great! I love maiden and to jam it on stage was a great experience. " - Chris "Friday night's show with Death Angel was insane. This was my first show with the band, and it was the most intense 40 minutes of my life. The power of 40Grit's live show is something you have to experience first hand. It was pure energy from start to finish. I couldn't be more stoked with how it turned out." - Ryan Check out the new 40 Grit E-card, courtesy of Jay at Sadistic Creations, featuring the video for "Only Human" off their latest release Nothing To Remember.
