A tribute to Eyehategod entitled "For The Sick - A Tribute To Eyehategod" is currently being put together with plans for a release through Emetic Records later this year. Bands currently planned to take part include Mastodon, Watch Them Die, Minsk, 3 Inches Of Blood, Left In Ruin, Brutal Truth, Ichabod and more.

congrats to Ichabod

Up to 10 bands and over 40 musicians will take par in the Lynyrd Skynyrd Katrinathon, set to take place Saturday, April 1 at The Scene, located at 806 E. Colorado St. in Glendale, CA. Doors will open at 8:00 pm and bands will hit the stage at 10:00 pm. Ticket price is $7.00 and proceeds will go directly to three New Orleans bands hit hard by Hurricane Katrina: Hazard Country Girls, Jimmy Bower (Eyehategod, Superjoint Ritual, Mystik Crewe of Clearlight) and Suplecs.

Laurie Es Sternberger, of Armadillicious Music Network, christened the evening and developed the theme. "Promoting these tribute events was an idea I swiped from the local music scene in Austin Texas," Laurie explains. "The shows were called \'hoot nights\' and every different kind of musician from every genre would congregate together to pay homage to their icons. I always thought it was a great way to show solidarity. When I was approached to promote this benefit, I thought Skynyrd has endured a plane crash, deaths, heartbreak, addiction and lawsuits. They are the perfect band to hold up as an example of perseverance in the face of all unbeatable odds."


Each act taking part in the Lynyrd Skynyrd Katrinathon will perform two Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. The grand finale will feature a star-studded super group of musicians performing up to three Skynyrd songs. Musicians in the finale will include Tom 5 (White Zombie, Angel Rot), Steve Darrow (Hollywood Rose), Steve Priest (The Sweet), Dale Crover (Melvins), Derek Christensen (B-Movie Rats), Brian Kehew (The Moog Cookbook), and more. All of the bands, as well as the event promoters are donating 100% of the earnings to the NOLA bands named.

congrats to Ichabod >>


Thanks so much man! We're pretty damn excited about this one...we did "Jackass in the will of god". We already submitted the song but we're thinking of possibly remixing it if we have time before the deadline, just because you always hear shit you want to bring up or down in the mix as you listen to it over time...EHG is one of our collective faves, so this is the shit for us.

Ichabod, blowin' up like a muhfucka.

...but we're opening for you Rich at the Grind & Doom fest, so who's REALLY blowin' up?

ichabod said:

I just know where some bodies are buried.

Yeah wait, how is Brutal Truth on it?

i dont know, this is the press release i was sent and the same info ive seen on other websites. so if its on the interweb its gotta be true.

and yeah if y'all like eyehategod that much, i do believe im gonna have to book you at soon, or at least take my tired ass out to one of your shows

I saw an Adolf Satan review that called us total EHG ripoffs.

I was like "Hello McFly, Hello!!!, Larry's been doing this shit since the 70's"

i thought you guys had that sound too. however i believe larry has way more drugs in his system then all of ehg could ever have.

either way be good to see adolf playing again, i havent seen you guys since we played with you at OBs

i used to listen to eyehategod all the time and play sister fucker part 2 on my bass. those were good times.

those are still goodtimes

Alright, I am the one putting this tribute together and there are a few bands confirmed and some tracks alreay in hand. An official press release will be out in the next few days that will explain all the details and yes the Ichabod track does sound fucking great, as for the Brutal Truth involvment on this in his highly unlikely, sorry folks. People have been sending around all kinds of rumors regarding this release for a few weeks and that is one of them.
