A blazing live set from these San Diego psych-shredders, recorded who knows when - the jacket doesn't have any info about the recording on it, but there is an 11" by 17" poster reproduction that comes with the record for a show that Earthless played at the Casbah in San Diego with Sugar Rush and Railroad Inc., so maybe this is that gig. Wherever it's from, it's a single song that's spread out across the two sides of this 10", the monstrous wah-frenzy "Sonic Prayer" elongated into a mind wiping psychedelic freakout. This shit is awesome - guitarist Isaiah Mitchell (formerly of Nebula) lets loose with one neverending Hendrixian solo from the start of the jam till the very last breath, just piling the wah-drenched acid blues shred ON while the machine-precise rhythm section of bassist ike Eginton (formerly of Electric Nazarene, a crushing stoner/sludge outfit from SoCal that I saw live years back when I was at the PCH Club outside of L.A.) and legendary drummer Mario Rubalcaba (formerly of Rocket From The Crypt/Hot Snakes/Clikitat Ikatowi) ride a cyclical hard riff and drive it onward with a pounding, swining almost-motorik beat. As much as I love their first album Sonic Prayer, Earthless are at their most vital in the live setting, where they are able to cut loose and sprawl out on their heavy, partially improvised blues-psych jams. This 10" rips. All of you Hawkwind/Hendrix/Flower Traveling Band acid mutants will want to hear this. We've got this slab on black wax, packaged with that concert poster in a glossy black jacket with white artwork.
