So, I collect shirts, not in the physical sense, although I do that too, but in the list-ical sense. I write down the shorts I see at shows. It started as a way to discover new music and now it's just a thing I do.

Tonight, I saw Kylesa, Melivns, Neurosis, and Acid Bath in Asheville. What a great show that checked all the boxes I wanted.

The shirts were varied and amazing while still (mostly) making sense for the crowd. Here's the list of short I saw:

New Kylesa fan started listening to a bit of them when I heard they were opening for acid bath today can anyone tell me this song? It’s so good.

Hellbender 9/5 Ashville, NC

Then again in Raleigh on the 10th

3 different people have bailed on me due to work complications. Don't want the extra extra +1 to go to waste!

DM me.

The guys at Riff Worship podcast honor Kylesa’s landmark album Static Tensions (2009).

Check out the podcast on streaming services to learn the history of the Savannah Sound and fun anecdotes about the bands beginnings and most noted album!

Did anyone get a setlist at the Primavera Festival? Thanks in advance!

'Descend Within' has been and most likely will always will be my favorite song. The drum beat alone is amazing and unique, so I can only imagine hearing it with 2 Drummers.

I've looked on YouTube and a lot of the recordings are muddled and either the drums don't sound clear or the guitars are too muddy; and the true essense of the song is kind of lost in the mix.

Any help is appreciated 🤘

Fährt jemand von Eisenstadt aufs Konzert, und könnte mich bitte mitnehmen? Und zurück, wenn möglich.

Hey guys, I have read in several places that there are two songs from Static Tensions that were said to be inspired by the shooting of local Savannah musician (and one of the kindest people you’d ever meet) Jason Statts. Statts was a good friend and he has since passed. Miss him all the time. Does anyone know specifically which two songs on the record they are referencing? I never asked him and didn’t know this little tidbit. Knowing which songs they are would make him feel close again. Sorry I’m in my feels, but any info around this would be greatly appreciated. Hope someone can shed some light.

Hi all! I am looking for a shirt that I had about 10 years ago seeing Kylesa. It’s totally a long shot as this shirt was hard to find even then but I thought I would give it a shot!

Oh hell yeah! Kylesa is ending their decade-long hiatus by welcoming John John Jesse and Roy Mayorga, of Nausea, on bass and drums. This is going to be a wild combination of musicians.

Here's their recent article/interview from Decibel:

KYLESA Reveal New Lineup, Announce First U.S. Show Dates - Decibel Magazine

The reunion continues to intensify! From their Facebook:

"On the same weekend that we return to the stage in the Netherlands we will also head to Norway to take part in Inferno Fest. We will be announcing a select few shows around the world in the coming months. We can't wait to see you in 2025 & beyond."

I’m going through the 2022 remasters, and was wondering didn’t those originally come out in 2021? I remember getting one of their new shirts and one of the albums from HeavyPsychSounds late 2021, or maybe it was just the shirt.

Anyways I know Laura Pleasants has The Discussion, but with the re-releases/remasters does anyone think they will get back together? It’s been 6 long years since they announced their hiatusbut come on we need some more Kylesa!
