Being swept up into that tornado of souls is an experience that I won’t soon forget.

I ran a half marathon a month back, and without a doubt surviving a black midi mosh pit was just as difficult. My lungs nearly collapsed during the band’s brutal one-two punch of the heavy-hitting tracks “John L” and “Near DT, MI.” I held my girlfriend’s purse as she ran into the abyss to do her share of moshing during “Slow,” the final song of the night. A guy with a Suicidal Tendencies jacket nearly kicked my head in as he crowd surfed. I let out a year’s worth of pent-up primal screams to saxophonist Kaidi Akinnibi’s screeching notes during “Chondromalacia Patella.” A person in a lace crop top took the opportunity of a crowd clearing for a mosh pit for some impromptu break dancing, and did a great job. My body twisted and writhed along to drummer Morgan Simpson’s dexterous polyrhythms. I prayed for their safety as I joined the maw that took up the entirety of the middle of the floor. I saw a group of moms straddling the barrier in front of me. It was a struggle to take photos while being pelted with the knees and elbows of the crowd whipped into a frenzy behind me. They wasted no time going straight into “953,” the bombastic intro to their 2019 debut Schlagenheim. L’Rain made a perfect complement to the black midi set that followed.Īs a wrestling announcer introduced them as the leanest and meanest band straight out of England, black midi took the stage dressed in a perplexing mix of 1950s door-to-door salesman style business casual, tank tops, and trench coats. Many stood still, eyes closed, heads pointing upwards, and feet nearly lifting off the ground during the dreamy synth and vocal segments and cacophonous crescendos alike. Ultimately, they all had the same effect on the audience: bliss. L’Rain’s songs took many shapes during their set - some light and rounded, others heavy and jagged. Singer Taja Creek sang with her mic stand covered in roses and sprayed essential oils around the stage, matching the band’s ethereal sound. black midi’s opener L’Rain did their part in showing the value and beauty of experimental music as well, making sure fans out of the adoring crowd. The Fine Line was packed with fans wearing band T-shirts featuring Sunn O))), King Crimson, and Merzbow all artists that have made conscious efforts to change perceptions of what music should be. From the looks of Monday night’s show, it’s clear that black midi are having the time of their lives and their fans are more than happy to be along for the ride. But they would often rather spread their wings and have fun with mind-melting manifestos like “Hogwash and Balderdash” from their latest release, Cavalcade. I can create a lot of rethorical speech simply about digital letters.With tracks like “Marlene Dietrich,” it’s clear that the band could make pleasant, arguably perfect-sounding music if they wanted to. At least I got to fix some typos and sentences from here and there again, and some of the dialogue was not at all aligned in the center of the bubbles, so I got to fix those problems too.

Some minor adjustments, and fixing the bubbles of course was in order.

But it's better than any free resource has been able to offer.Īnd it meant going through all of the currently existing pages. I am absolutely neurotic when it comes to comicfonts, and when I had to actually write them myself, it was even worse. Eventually I had to do my own - which was terrifying. I've been searching for the best possible font for this comic for a long time, and I never found the kind of organic font that would look good in this small type.

What a weekend! A lot of websitestuff happening and we've got rather far with it! Elli has done a tremendous amount of work with it and co-operation with her has been great, letting me to concentrate on thegraphics and actually be a bit more creative than my own knowledge of code would ever allow me to be.īut the website brought before me a HUGE task which took me two whole days and sleepless nights, and you can actually see in this page that the font has changed yet again - hopefully into a form that will work and doesn't force me to do these ridiculous post-edit runs. Took him some time, but he FINALLY ripped the thing out!
