[DID NOT ATTEND: November 29, 2025] Sanguisugabogg / Despised Icon / Defeated Sanity / Corpse Pile

There’s a few reasons why I like Sanguisugabogg and none have to do with their music.  Most of it is their social media presenceand thatthey have some kind of sense of humor. I also love that their name is crazy and their logo is impossible to read because their name is so weird.  They play death metal.  Lots of death metal.

Despised Icon is a Montreal based deathcore band.  So lots of growing and lots of really fast drums.  The drums in MVP sound impossible fast to me (and also don’t sound very heavy).

Defeated Sanity is a German technical death metal band.  They throw n some fascinating prog rock elements and then blow it all away with really fast parts and really deep growling vocals.

Corpse Pile is from Houston.  They are heavy, slow, and heavy.  The singer sings in the slowest growling manner I think I’ve ever heard.

I like a little death metal now and again.  This evening would have destroyed me.  Possibly just seeing a whole show by Sanguisugabogg would have destroyed me.

[DID NOT ATTEND: November 3, 2025] Leith Ross / Emma Harner

My daughter and I saw Leith Ross at All Things Go two years ago.  I hadn’t heard of her so I had to look up information about them.  Leith Ross is based in Winnipeg and identifies as non-binary, transgender, and queer, and uses they/them pronouns.  They recorded their debut EP, Motherwell (2020), while studying at Humber College, and subsequently found success on TikTok, most prominently with the song “We’ll Never Have Sex” in August 2021.

I know that TikTok fame is real, but i was surprised to see them playing Union Transfer which seems like a pretty large venue for a folkie artist.  But again, what do I know.

Leith’s voice reminds me of Juliana Hatfield’s–kind of childish and sweet but with a bite underneath.  Leith’s more popular songs seem to be slow and while I liked them, I wouldn’t go to a headline show of theirs.

Emma Harner is based in Boston.   She has a gorgeous guitar sound (reminds me of Laura Marling).  She sings beautifully too.  A delightful folk artist.  I’d like to listen to he at an outdoor festival.
