Drunk Music Reviews is Caitlin Behle and John Sebastian. Caitlin reviews a show while progressively getting drunker, while illustrator John Sebastian turns the drunken reviews, which could be ridiculous, sloppy or just plain insulting, into a comic.

Notes: The captions that end with @drunkmusicrevws were pulled from their Twitter account during the show. Tweets ending with J are reviews from John, while tweets ending with C are from Caitlin. The chart at the bottom of every illustration shows the drink tallies for the night.

Normally a Drunk Music Review is split into pretty clear cut tasks – I handle the reviews and John takes care of the illustrations (while wasted, of course). However, we decided to take a different approach with Saturday’s Boomslang showcase at Buster’s; John did the entire review. I’d like to attribute this shift in responsibilities to our attempt to challenge ourselves, but really I just don’t know anything about doom metal.  Doomslang was basically John’s entire reason for being in Lexington that weekend, so it only made sense to hand him the reigns.

@seblasto will be your captain for Doomslang this evening. Expect great drawings & better-informed, drunken reviews than I can produce. -c - ‏@drunkmusicrevws

Soft Opening

Really digging Soft Opening’s lethargic grooves and heavy psychedelic breaks. Super noisy in the best way. - @drunkmusicrevws

Author & Punisher

Author & Punisher’s gear setup can not not remind me of the cockpit of a gundam or a mech from mech warrior – j - @drunkmusicrevws

White Hills

The front room is too crowded for me to see White Hills save for their guitarist’s sparkly leather jacket. I must have it. – j - @drunkmusicrevws

The singer of White Hills is kind of a Dio-sized Alice Cooper-looking guy. – j @drunkmusicrevws

Weedeater

Weedeater enters the stage to the Sanford and Son theme. Too perfect. - @drunkmusicrevws

I ca’t tell if its a thing for Dixie to look fucked up or he actually is, but he looked straight at me, and also to he right of me. - @drunkmusicrevws

Merkaba

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get through the crowd or see through the fog/incense smoke to see native Lexington’s Merkaba well enough to actually draw the band.
