Part of the Home of Metal Black Country Weekender, we’ll be screening the legendary ‘Heavy Metal Parking Lot’ It’s 25 years since Jeff Krulik and John Heyn walked around the Capital Center’s parking lot in Maryland, interviewing boozed up rockers before a Judas Priest gig. The resulting document has become required viewing on tour buses across the globe, and now you can enjoy the clothes, the hair and the language in all their glory – in the Light House’s courtyard.

There will also be film shorts courtesy of Flatpack festival and DJs, plus live music from Selfless
“4 piece, insane politically/socially charged hardcore hardcore punk/crust/grind band.Lying somewhere between Black Flag/Heresy/Discharge…”
+ Stinky Wizzleteat
“Formed some time in 2008, Stinky Wizzleteat have garnered some sort of a reputation, leaving a trail of blood, sweat and broken amplifiers behind them. United by a mutual love of the Bad Brains, Wizzleteat carve out a sound informed by groove from across the musical spectrum, whilst staying fully committed to heaviness, good times and volume.”

This event is sponsored by The Kraken Rum and free rum cocktails will be available and best of all the event is FREE too from 8 – 11pm.

Metal on Film is part of Home Of Metal for the full program of screenings see HERE
and for the full Home of Metal season see HERE.

Be warned last time we showed Heavy Metal Parking at Capsule & cake way back in 2002 we had the most legendary & messy party, prepare for one mighty hangover.

Two great shows rounded up another year of Capsule gigs – here’s the piccies

Grimpen Mire

Black Breath

Stinky Wizzleteat

Part Chimp

Torche

If you like coming to Capsule shows, and frankly I know I do, make sure that you attend the final gigs of the year.

The latest Southern Lord signing Black Breath will be performing at Hare & Hounds on 24th November, with support from Grimpen Mire. Then the following day (yes, it’ll be a fine week) the mighty Torche will be playing along with Part Chimp and Stinky Wizzleteat.

What an amazing show this was! Thanks to all who came down and helped to make it a superb night. Eyehategod had a great time and were more than a bit impressed by the insane Birmingham crowd.

Support came from Stinky Wizzleteat - who were pretty stoked all night to be supporting their favourite band

and San Francisco’s Totimoshi

FOR THE SICK

(Thanks to Gobinder Jhitta for these photos)

There are more disgustingly good Capsule shows planned including Chrome Hoof, Wolves in the Throne Room, Acid Mothers Temple and tons more, so see you soon.

We got some beautiful flowers and fancy bottles of bubbly from Warm Circuit Records

Here are photos from our final birthday event which took place at Vivid, much merriment was had by all and the 6pm start certainly left a few folks a wee bit tipsy by the end. All the acts were local inhabitants, all were superb and just goes to show that Birmingham should be very proud of the wealth of talent that exists on our very doorstep. Special mention to Brian Duffy of the Modified Toy Orchestra, who despite extreme back pain and a haze of very strong pain killers played an absolutely storming set. It was an exhausting month and we should all be grateful that we will be 10 but once – a massive word of thanks to so many people that were involved in making these celebrations so much fun.

Stinky Wizzleteat opened proceedings with a fair bit of skipping

Una Corda were on top form and had even grown comedy moustaches for the occasion

Health & Efficiency used all manner of instruments

With tremendous drumming

Modified Toy Orchestra were on fine form with their new members

Barbie was looking stunning in her new party outfit

drum n bass duo PCM had everyone dancing like maniacs

Thanks to all of you that braved our first night of snow

Capsule Grannies not getting any younger

10 years of shows charted for all to see - we've done a fair few gigs!
