Mac Sabbath Turns Up the Heat in Birmingham

From the outside, Workplay in downtown Birmingham doesn’t really look like the type of place to host a metal show. The space is a multi-use event center, containing ,among other things, office spaces and a coffee shop; however, go inside and you’ll find a concert hall that’s the right level of grimy for a band like Mac Sabbath. Mac Sabbath, for those unfamiliar, describe themselves as “drive-thru metal”, playing Black Sabbath covers with lyrics changed to be exclusively about fast food. It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, but it makes for an incredibly fun show. With support from Alyson Anomaly (a project by Flummox frontwoman Alyson Blake Dellinger) and Clownvis (who will be described in detail later), the show was nothing if not memorable.

ICE detains Wallace State soccer players after Lincoln traffic stop

HANCEVILLE, Ala. – Four days after Luis Orta-Santoro helped Wallace State Community College earn a spot in the national soccer tournament, Lincoln police arrested him and his twin brother, Carlos, during a traffic stop in Talladega County. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it took both players into custody the next day. Talladega County Sheriff’s Office records list the arrests of Luis Alejandro Orta-Santoro and Carlos Alberto Orta-Santoro, both 19, at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4. Each county booking lists one entry, “HOLD FOR ICE,” and a Nov. 5 release from the county jail. Neither booking lists a traffic charge. Their father, Carlos Enrique Orta Corredor, told WBRC the brothers were driving back to Wallace State after visiting their parents in Georgia. He said an officer stopped them in Lincoln for allegedly rolling through a stop sign, asked for their licenses and had both young men step out of the vehicle. They were handcuffed and spent the night in jail, he said. Lincoln police signed a task force agreement with ICE on July 20, according to 287(g) Watch, which tracks the agency’s published agreements. ICE says the program allows trained local officers to exercise limited immigration authority during routine police
