Meet Your Maker: Judgement Day at Union Pool

The band’s name is Judgement Day.  String Metal is their sound.  Be prepared.  This guitarless, percussive, high-energy violin, cello, and drums trio is, as our very own Stuart says, ‘œon some other shit!’ Judgement Day is in a realm of their own.  Brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner combine their innovative
