The “Crowboat” experience was like being at a (floating) private party with my fav sludge metal band, Crowbar. It was not a stage. We were standing a foot away from them. We partied WITH them. Gnar!!
Kirk Windstein is a living grunge metal legend and being on a ferry(???) with him and his band for a couple hours was the single most metal experience of my life.
Their sound guy is a real pro. How can someone make sludge and death metal acts so audible and crisp over a tugboat(???) sound system? A miracle in itself.
I want to sail on the Crowboat every night!😎

Crowbar Biography
American doom / sludge rock band from Louisiana, characterized by their extremely slow, low-keyed, hardcore and brooding songs.
Starting in 1989 and taking its name from the Crowbar group in NOLA (New Orleans), Kirk Windstein went on to pioneer slow and heavy music with a unique vocal style. Their first album, "Obedience Through Suffering" was released in 1991, but failed to achieve notoriety. By 1993's self-titled (Crowbar) album, personal friend Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, and Superjoint Ritual among others) produced the record, which eventually led to national promotion on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. Phil sang back up on a few tracks and sang background on "Broken Glass" which rounded out the anthems "All I Had (I Gave)," "I Have Failed" and "Existence is Punishment" along with a new take on the Led Zeppelin song "No Quarter." Following their success the band went on to record music videos, major tours with Pantera, and more albums. Their band stage antics became infamous, which led to being immoralized in the Pantera "Home Video 3" and Crowbar's "Like Broken" Home Video.
As time moved on the band lost its founding members with the exception on vocal and guitarist Kirk Windstein. After Todd Strange left the band, the trademark 300 pound + band members slimmed down and the heaviness was only in the music and not the band members. The band continues to perform, borrowing members from NOLA metal bands like Goatwhore and Acid Bath. In their recent 2005 release, "Life's Blood For The Downtrodden" Pantera bassist rex brown lent his bass duties and keyboard playing and Down's producer Warren Riker.
