According to The Spokesman-Review, all four members Decapitated have been released from jail as they await trial for allegedly kidnapping and raping a woman on their tour bus three months ago.

part of their release conditions, the musicians were ordered to stay in Washington and were required to turn in their passports. In the event that they do return to Poland, they were ordered to sign waivers of extradition, meaning they were agreeing to be extradited to the U.S.

The members were released on their own recognizance and did not have to post a bond. 

Their trial will begin on January 16.

Sludge/Doom/Shoegaze or whatever band Nadja are playing a tiny 100 ticket gig in Birmingham, I've never bought a ticket so fast before.

Did you go and see Yawning Man at the Campbell?  Fatso Jetson are there next month.

Nah, never been a fan of stoner/desert rock, I don't even like Kyuss. I know it's weird as there's such an overlap with doom and sludge but I just can't get into that side of it.

To put it crudely, I prefer my rock to sound like it's full of heroin than cannabis.

I actually feel bad for the guy that puts those shows on, I read he's having to cut down on the bigger artists and stay local as there's not enough money coming in but to be fair they are niche bands for a town like Cov. But then I see him getting angry at people not turning up and supporting the "scene", maybe try booking bands that more than 5 people including the booker himself likes.
