미역수염 (Seaweed Mustache) at the Pentaport Rock Festival 2024

We didn’t get a chance to watch too much of Seaweed Mustache’s set, but we were curious about them so we made a point to pop in for a bit. They played during the heat of the day, which in some way added to the intensity of their set. I had never heard them before, and actually I don’t listen to much metal these days, but for a metal band they kicked ass. Even though we didn’t stick around too long (because we were a little beleaguered by the heat) it was refreshing to get a taste of that kind of music again—especially live. I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to find out what kind of band had such a cool name.
