With the long weekend approaching, there was a lot of opprtunities for Lethbridgians to get their drink on and listen to 
wide variety of music.
Things started late on Monday, Oct. 4 at the Slice as local alternative rock/ screamo band Berserker welcomed the Phantom Creeps Tyler Brownfield as their new bassist, during their performance at the Slice.
They’ve really embraced a funky Rage Against the Machine sound mixed with a little Foo Fighters, with plenty of dissonant chords form the two guitarists who added a lot of sliding ocatves. Lead singer Jon Vornbrock channeled “Sabotage,” era Beastie Boys, as he bounded all over the stage and bellowed like a banshee into his microphone for a quick set of energetic modern rock.
This was folowed by one of the strangest sets I’ve seen from performance artist/ mad scientist Kettle Black.
He hung a stuffed paper maché dinosaur head from a set of black curtains and set up an array of keyboards, drums, a couple of guitars and a bass guitar. Someone descibed him as Nomeansno getting into a fight with a mad scientist, which was pretty accurate.
With the stage completely dark save for the candles which surrounded him, he played a lot of screeching keyboards and cacophonic bass chords while yelling lyrics or poetry into his mic. I couldn’t understand a word of it but was stunned by it nonetheless.
