Eight Gigs: Weedeater

Dixie Dave, bassist and vocalist for North Carolina's Weedeater, is touring again and the group will be debuting new material from its soon-to-be-released album on French label Season Of Mist. For those unfamiliar with the sludge and stoner-rock outfit, the band has released only four albums since its inception in 1998. However, one listen to any of the band's records and you'll know that filthy metal of this kind takes time. After all, there's dope to be smoked, cough syrup to be mixed with hard alcohol and lots of extracurricular partying to be done. If recent single “Hot Doughnuts Now” is any indication, the new album will be worth the wait. 1517 21st Street, www.weedmetal.com.
