Jerks. You know, I’m getting awfully tired of all these Crowbar shows (like, all three of them) that are happening nowhere near me. Hey, Crowbar, I will gladly pay bus fare for you guys to come play New York. And not one of those crappy dollar buses either. Greyhound, baby. Rollin’ in style.

Seriously, enough’s enough. Time for Crowbar to tour. I think the last time they came around was with Pro-Pain, when the two bands were on the same label? What was that, five years ago now? Six? Ridiculous. If Crowbar toured like Clutch all would be right in the world.

Here’s PR wire news about a Housecore Records gig in New Orleans with Crowbar, Warbeast and the willfully-uncapitalized haarp. Stupid Nola gets everything — oh wait…

Housecore Records recording artists Crowbar, Warbeast and haarp will join forces on stage on October 1st, 2010, for a label showcase brought to you by Housecore Records and Firewater Productions. With two of the groups hailing from Louisiana and one representing Texas, the showcase is sure to be a southern, dirty metal brawl. Doors open at 8pm, and the event begins at 9pm. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the show.

New Orleans sludge metal masters Crowbar have been known over the years for their low keyed, heavy brand of metal/hardcore fusion. Before forming as Crowbar in 1991, the band existed in many other forms in the New Orleans area. Vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein (also of Down) regarded 2009 as the 20th anniversary of Crowbar. During the span, the band recorded and released many highly reviewed records. A new record is set to be released by the band in 2011.
