STREAMING CONCERT REVIEW: Down’s Quarter Century Throwdown
To celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their now-iconic debut album NOLA (Elektra Records), the band Down originally planned a tour at select venues worldwide before a global pandemic shut down the normal cadence of life as any of us ever knew it for the foreseeable future. Not to be silenced on such a momentous occasion, the guys took to the stage at a private location instead to stream The Quarter Century Throwdown as a global virtual concert. Featuring vocalist Phil Anselmo, guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein, drummer Jimmy Bower and Pat Bruders on bass, the event aired live with two encore performances in the days following the livestream for ticket holders.
Down Streaming “Conjure” Music Video
Down is streaming their new video for “Conjure” here. The haunting and twisted ode to 70’s horror films was directed by JM Stelly and Chris Trainor at Lab Productions. Stelly previously worked with Corrosion of Conformity and Suicide Girls, while Trainor has collaborated with GWAR, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, EYEHATEGOD, and is the producer of Housecore TV. The track is featured on Down’s latest EP Down IV – Part Two.
Down bassist Pat Bruders says, “We had a lot of fun working with Stelly and Trainor to make something we think is special. Hope everyone likes it!”
The band is also set to perform at Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, QC in June. Tickets for the festival are available here.
Down IV – Part Two was released in May 2014 via Down Records/ADA and was the band’s highest charting release to-date (#1 on iTunes’ Rock Albums chart; #23 on Billboard’s Top 200).
