It's been a rough honeymoon for the Burning Brides since they relocated from Philly to Los Angeles, "the new Atlantis of the sea," as Dmitri famously put it. This isn't the Brides' first return to the place where they were "born" (the Khyber) since Dmitri and Melanie tied the knot, but it is their first since dropping Anhedonia, a tight, frenetic burst of hard rock energy tailor-made for a beer-soaked night. As with the band's previous output, expect the salty, dark tones and underpinnings in the songs to contrast perfectly with the giddy schoolyard crush looks Mr. and Mrs. Coats exchange onstage. Dmitri howls convincingly on "Lovesick," but he'll betray it all with a smile and glance in Mel's direction.

Good reason to come out and toast the Brides' union, Anhedonia and many happy years to come. Cheers.
