Ten Bucks, and You Could End Up in the Video
I caught Deathchant opening for Castle Rat in Anaheim back in May, and they ripped. Now they’re throwing the kind of show that makes putting up with LA worth it: ten dollars at the door, a music video shoot you can actually be in, and a full live set after.
Deathchant just announced a surprise hometown show for July 9 at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles. The band is filming a music video for a track off their new album KOVA, and they want bodies in the room. Their pitch, straight off Instagram: bust out the studs and leather vests and get rowdy for the cameras. Doors at 9, the shoot starts at 10, and they’re playing a special live set once the cameras stop rolling. Ten bucks at the door, 21+.
This is exactly the stuff corporate metal coverage skips. Deathchant have been grinding the LA underground since 2018, and KOVA is shaping up to follow 2023’s Thrones. A surprise video shoot at a record-store bar instead of a teaser trailer and a pre-save link? That is a band that still gets it.
And there is something to be said for turning your own video shoot into a party for the people who actually show up. You are not an extra. You are the crowd. Permanent Records Roadhouse is a small room, and “surprise show” plus “be in the video” is the kind of pitch that fills it fast.
If you have been sleeping on Deathchant, ten dollars is the cheapest possible way to fix that. Get there early.
