here's your history lesson...
The number 420 (pronounced four-twenty) is a euphemism for the consumption of cannabis and elements of its associated culture. The exact origin of the term is unknown.
What does 420 mean? There are varying theories on the origin of 420. Some say that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Yet another story is that a group of guys (Waldo's) in the 1970's made 4:20 their official meeting time to smoke marijuana after school. Whether or not 4:20 p.m. is the best time of day for your first hit depends on your own body, your own needs. Some folks feel that waiting until 4:20 enhances ones appreciation of the herb. Of course, your mileage may vary.
In the 21st Century, 420 is firmly established as a code amongst tokers, a time of day and even sort of a toker's New Year's Day. It's in our culture now and only time will tell where it ends up.
April 20th (4/20) is another usage, meaning that it is time for to plant before the summer.

No offense to absolutmetal.com, but the site looks kinda like a kid put it up. Has it been around for a bit? local? they sponsor shows? I wish all the best to that site and the bands playing this show. I think i'll even go to support it, really!
I put it up when I was a kid, 9 years ago, sorry for my lack of self-taught HTML and flash skills, but I work with what I've got. 'tis local indeed MA/RI. And I love beer and weed...especially the latter.
Don't forget your love for the loser left wing.......ever notice that the loser left wing idealists all smoke weed and embrace the hippy lifestyle? Now THATS who should be running this country....HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I know, it is funny how a bunch of pot smoking hippys could do a better job of running it than the incompetent boobs who are in there now...

i've said it before and here it goes again, pinion is a terrible name for a band and there was already a terrible metal band from RI called pinion.
ha, thanks for bringing it up, now I'm actually closer to getting my fellow bandmates to change the name...they were a gay nu-metal/hardcore band weren't they? I don't exactly want to inherit their shit reputation in RI, since we're trying to start out here. I was hoping they weren't so well known, but this explains alot.
Sea Of Bones
Throwing Shrapnel
Pinion
Burnt Beyond Recognition
Doors at 8pm, $5 cover, 21+

So yeah, after several days of haggling, we've changed our name to Seabeast, and as far as I know no band in RI has ever had that one...Pinion=Seabeast
naw theyre all out right now, i believe theyre on back order next to the titanic which should be falling on you within 2/3 weeks as soon as they have them back in stock.
seriously, i was so ready with my victory speech and how i was nowhere near you when the titanic fell on you. now i have to go back and reschedule everything. you know how much balloons cost, hmm hmm

If this show was the next day hellblock6 would play it.
perhaps if I'd known they needed a show over a month ago when I was booking it...yeah, that would've helped..haha. I dig Hellblock6, but either way it was going to be on 4:20 so...nevermind...I do think it's a damn fine line up myself...Throwing Shrapnel all there to throw down
ha im pretty sure well have a bunch of ones you'll dig. dave and myself have been writing the majority of our stuff for the newer record were recording in july. smoooooooooooooooooke !
oh yeah if another spot opens up you should really put anomalous or militnary on this show. cause parties are goodtimes
I heard a rumor that if everyone in the audience forms a circle pit, a magical baseball sized spilff with appear in center of that said pit. Weeeeeeee!
I'm new at this shite....it's all so small.....I'm only doing it coz Samica thinks I should....You know, to help out the band....Soooooo, I hope this is helping....

They listed us in the Providence Phoenix as "Pinion"...super. I love it when I e-mail everyone and tell them we've changed our name, confirm the new lineup, and a month later the wrong band name goes in the paper. woooo!!! awesome!
hey everyone this is ben from B.B.R. and we should have a BUNCH of copys of the new demo at the show so come up a talk to one of us to get a copy of INTO HER VOID. it is full of all new songs and it is not the stuff on the myspace except for tentatively titled,i think i just shit my pants

it's in the shop...and we might not have a van tonight so hopefully someone has an 8ohm cab we can borrow...we might not need to, but I figured I'd ask..
You know I must think this is a cool show to be missing both, Acid Mothers Temple at AS220, & Presley at the Hawthorne tonight to play this one! Hopefully some folks will come out, we've got some new ones to debut tonight and need some guinea pigs...
