about

On March 7th 2015, Cherry Choke took to the stage at Salzburg's Rockhouse, Austria to end their European leg of the tour and celebrate the very recent launch of their third full length record 'Raising The Waters'. This show was on fire; the sell out crowd either danced like crazy to the band’s tripped out heavy grooves or stood there, mouths agape and minds blown, by the sonic experience. Truly a band at their 100% live best. So be it - Raising Salzburg Rockhouse will forever stand as a testament to the bands live electric power.

"You won’t hear me take away from the opening psych-scorch hook of “Mindbreaker” or the fuzzed-on, boogie-down, -up, and -sideways of “Black Annis” which follows, but there’s something extra fun about hearing Frog Island’s Cherry Choke jam out a 13-minute, drum-solo-inclusive version of “6ix and 7even” that makes Raising Salzburg Rockhouse even more of a reminder of how underrated both they are as a band and Mat Bethancourt is as a player. Look no further than “Domino” if you want absolute proof. The whole band rips it up at the Austrian gig, which was recorded in 2015 as they supported their third and still-most-recent full-length, Raising the Waters (review here), but Bethancourt puts on a Hendrixian clinic in the nine-minute cut from 2011’s A Night in the Arms of Venus (review here), which is actually less of a clinic than it is pure distorted swagger followed by a mellow “cheers, thanks” before diving into “Used to Call You Friend.” A 38-minute set would be perfect for an vinyl release, and anytime Cherry Choke want to get around to putting together a fourth studio album, well, that’ll be just fine too."
