Feast for Crows @ The Plough & Harrow - 18.3.16
0The Retribution Alive road trip in March moves back north and to the East to Leytonstone! This month we have twin headliners with Zocalo returning after that gloriously received set in New Cross in February. They will be permorming part 2 of their 2 part 'Chronicles of Groove' set. Local doom merchants Sonic Mass are the other headliners. The Retribution club night keeps the neighbours awake until 1am!
So far the diverse metalisation of Retribution Alive has breached the walls of such venues as the Intrepid Fox, Purple Turtle, 12 Bar, Fiddlers Elbow, Upstairs @ The Garage, Plough & Harrow, The Dev, Wig & Gown and the New Cross Inn! Get along to the March edition at the Plough & Harrow!
Bands playing 7.00pm-11.00pm:
ZOCALO (performing part 2 of 'The Chronicles of Groove')
There can't be many of us down in South-East London and North Kent who haven't seen Zocalo before BUT you will never have seen them like this! Zocalo will be performing the second part of their two exclusive 'The Chronicles of Groove' sets which will see them mix old and new tracks from their entire career like never before. Part 1 was performed at February's Retribution Alive at the New Cross Inn.
A hard grooving, heavy-blues based band where the riff is king and foot-stomping grooves reign supreme. Zocalo drink as hard as they play and invite you to join them. Known for a solid, energetic live performance, Zocalo bring a party atmosphere to any venue they play.
"Zocalo are a groove metal band who will blow you away, they're essentially what would happen if a girl sang for Pantera. In other words, Zocalo are INCREDIBLE. The guitar work is very groovy and the Pantera/Down influence is formidable" - Matt (Two Guys Metal Review)
"Zocalo ARE metal, and they've got a groove so deep you could lose a giant squid in it" - James (Cutting Edge)
"Sunrise is an album that successfully wraps up chapter one of Zocalo's career, managing to provide a soundtrack to all our summers" - Alan Hicks

THE DAY OF LOCUSTS
Crowbar and Pink Floyd fighting in quicksand! Sound good? Exactly!
Molten sludge riffs, neurotic time signatures and layers of heaviness.
