Here's a note from our friends at Vice Magazine...

January 24th, 2008
Hello,

Tonight in Brooklyn, Oakland metal legends Neurosis are playing a special concert with Mastodon at a former Masonic Temple in Fort Greene. We feel safe in saying it will be the heaviest show of the current year, at least until tomorrow when they do it again. Don't bother getting all worked up if this is the first you've heard about it-tickets for both nights are long gone by this point. You may be able to finagle some sort of deal on eBay or with someone outside the venue, but we really wouldn't hold out hope. Sorry to tease.

Anyways, in anticipation of the concert, today we are pleased to present to you the inaugural episode of a brand-new music show here on VBS. It is called VBS VS. and how it works is we ask a band to pick a sport, then we play them and act all shocked when they trounce us in a game of their choosing. Up first: bowling with Mastodon.

xoxo,
VBS
