Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series turns its bar into a book club for readers who prefer their fiction on the darker side. The Bed & Brew format means the crowd tends to be a mix of guests staying the night and regulars who treat the place like a living room, so the conversation usually...
Profanatica has been doing blasphemous, lo-fi black metal since 1990, long before the genre had a US fanbase worth counting, and pairing them with Morbosidad's Texas-bred death-black savagery makes this...
