Ludicra

Today is a bittersweet day, as the San Francisco band Ludicra has decided to call it a day.  One of the more underrated bands prior to last year, they started getting more recognition with the release of The Tenant, which made a few year end lists.  Despite getting stiffed on the aborted Mayhem tour and the health problems of guitarist John Cobbett (which forced a few missed dates on the repackaged headlining tour with Krallice), Ludicra persevered through it all.  They leave at their very best, which is something most bands can't or won't do.

I got to see Ludicra on Halloween weekend in 2009, and while the show itself was great, it was a bonus to see the drummer kick ass...literally, and still play the show afterwards.

I leave this piece with something to remember Ludicra by:
