[Jan 23,2004 10:18am - davyp ""]
blue no you cant...... im just kidding, i wouldn't know
[Jan 23,2004 3:45pm - DeOdiumMortis ""]
I played there once before and I was 20 at the time. No one gave me any problems.
Blue, just use the old "they're with the band, lives two hours away, and I'm their ride."
[Jan 23,2004 3:46pm - George ""]
jay said his old band was supposed to play there and they kicked them out cause they wernt 21.
im assuming this isnt a problem, i dont see why it would be.
[Jan 23,2004 3:48pm - davyp ""]

[Jan 23,2004 3:49pm - dreadkill@work ""]

George said:me too. jay thinks we're going to get kicked out cause we're not all 21, claiming the guy who owns the place is an asshole. i dont know what hes talking about.
i have no idea where this place is, what it looks like, or anything like that.

I guess the drums will at least be better ;)
[Jan 24,2004 1:19am - George ""]
this show was amazing. raising kubrick was the craziest shit ive ever seen. i give up playing guitar, they put us to shame. im stealing blue's amp when he's sleeping. i wish i could have stuck around to see ascendancy, but my ride was leaving. =(
teratism was awesome as well, but i couldnt believe the awesomness that was RK. i demand that we play more shows together. jesus god.
[Jan 24,2004 4:13am - the_reverend ""]

Sums up the whole night.
[Jan 24,2004 8:53am - Joe/NotCommon ""]
the show was great,
Agahnim opened and were a mix of grind and punk/metal, their bassist had a broken thumb but they still managed to kick the night off to a great start. Definately a good band, this was my first time seeing them and I think I will again.
Teratism was on second, these guys destroyed!!! Definately a crowd favorite when they covered Napalm Death, Phantom Ryan gave his approval. Somehow Teratism's set caused everyone to age 5 years.
Dreaded Silence played next and was the least extreme of the bands, but I liked them. They had some death metal parts, but were overall a melodic band with some rock parts. The mic was acting screwy during their set, so it was tough to hear the singer if you were in the back. I am looking forward to seeing them tomorow again.
Raising Kubrick was on 4th and were the crowd favorite that night. Sarah's vocals were not overwhelmingly loud, thanks to Meredith who came all the way from NH with some other crazy girls. They were really good that night and gained some new fans in the other bands.
Ascendancy plays really, really, really fast. If there is a band who you never have to worry about being upstaged by anyone, it's Ascendancy. Mike's mosh pit with Blue, while still performing, was a great ending to such a stupendous night.
[Jan 24,2004 9:21am - shatteredliz ""]
Teratism was so sick that my necklace broke!!!
This show kicked my ass. I knew it was going to be killer because I went to the ATM before the show, my balance printed out as $666.02.
Killer.
[Jan 24,2004 10:08am - Pete from RK ""]
the show was fun. Ive never played with Terratism and Agahnim before. But they were awsome, very tight. Ascendancy raped and looted again as usual. I want a t-shirt as soon as have them.

"Agahnim opened and were a mix of grind and punk/metal, their bassist had a broken thumb but they still managed to kick the night off to a great start. Definately a good band, this was my first time seeing them and I think I will again."
thanks joe, that's a pretty accurate depiction, the whole unrest cover and everything. what do you refer to as punk/metal? like crust or something? broken bones, genocide ss, phobia type of sounding stuff? i'm just curious.
yeah, i got kicked out of that place a few years ago whan my band tried to play a show. it was one of the first shows they had ever had there. they seem much cooler about kids under 21 being there nowadays.
yah. i'm still in shock at how tight we managed to play, and how brian played at all with his broken pinky finger all in a cast. he was definately the sXe cripple. it's almost as good as when i saw eternal suffering play a show a while back. their drummer had a broken arm and managed to still play decent with only one arm. god, he's so fucking good.
:NEWHORNS:
[Jan 24,2004 11:24am - Terence ""]
This was an awesome show, all the bands were fucking sick, a note to all the people who left, we sucked anyway, I wouldnt have blamed you for leaving!
:P
[Jan 24,2004 1:34pm - blue ""]
this show was disgusting. aganihm was waaaay better than they were the first time i saw them at the BoK this past summer. teratism won me over damn quick with their awesome dying fetus style dm. im getting their cd this sunday. dreaded silence wasnt really my thing, but they were good nonetheless. raising kubrick sucked as always. but once again, ascendancy stole the show with hands i cant even follow. not to mention mike getting the pit going with me. what a grand ole time.
[Jan 24,2004 2:12pm - the_reverend ""]
aganihm: they sounded pretty good even with the broken finger. I think george needs to workon head banging and moving while playing fast. Maybe there is a class at berklee for that? Jay and I were completely unable to deal with that PA system.
dreaded silence: I was told they were having an off night so I'm not going to judge hard. Since the last time I saw them, I can definitly tell the huge Opethian influence. I also think that the drummer needs to take some more liberties, the drumming seemed a little simple. from what I remember before it was more death metal and now they have nice melodic riffs. I couldn't really hear the clean vocals, damn microphone. I think that someone should try some day to have 2 mics set up, one for clean and one for scream. set the clean one louder... maybe?
teratism: man.. I love that naplam death song... they are pure mid-90's metal and it's excellent. I don't think they sound like dying fetus... except for the fact they have dual vocals cause they aren't slammy. can't wait to see them again on sunday.
raising kubrick: wow, what else can you say? an absolutely awesome performance. kris even pulled an ascendancy and went outside to play in traffic. it rulled. Sarah's vocals just get better and better. I see great things for these guys. It's funny to watch kris, cause you can tell during the more intricate bass parts, he doesn't jump around as much. blue's riffs are purely awesome.
ascendancy: I thought to myself 'self, it's so late and after rk's performance, ascendancy isn't going to do that well' and then BANG, they were fan freaking tastic. I couldn't believe that I would be so pumped up during and after their set, but it was great.
[Jan 24,2004 2:21pm - dreadkill ""]
overall last night was a good time. my band turned in a pretty subpar performance. once we fucked up the beginning of our first song we kind of got out of our zone. but oh well, i've seen some excellent bands make mistakes on stage over the years, so one bomb won't kill us. we'll redeem ourselves tomorrow at all asia. the other bands were killer, especially raising kubrick. sorry to ascendancy for not sticking around for your set. i was too disappointed in myself and there was too much booze around for me to stay there and not make a mess of myself. you guys were great last time we played with you, so i'm sure you kicked ass last night too. thanks to joe for putting us on and everyone who had kind words for us last night. you guys made my night.
[Jan 24,2004 2:21pm - George ""]
i really need to get the headbanging going when i play shows. i usually focus so much on playing guitar that i forget haha.
the best part of the night was this

[Jan 24,2004 2:39pm - Sarah RK ""]
The show was really awesome. Thanks to all the bands we played with, you all did a great job, thanks to joenotcommon for putting the show together and thanks to rttp and defyunlearn for the shots. :NEWHORNS:
[Jan 24,2004 2:47pm - kriswithak ""]
last night was a great time. one thing i have to say is that teratism kicked ass i was so impressed. ascendancy was great but that is nothing new they are always great. the other bands that played did a great job.
[Jan 24,2004 3:02pm - George ""]

[Jan 24,2004 3:19pm - the_reverend ""]

but man oh man what a night! It was an off night for me ..didn't get much sleep the prior night and then my camera acted up :( i don't want to have to buy another one right now :( aaron couldn't fix it either...so i didn't even bother with my flash....going to do the firmware upgrade on it and i hope it doesn't mess things up further!!
but anyhow..back to the show...talk about getting people riled up....by the end of the night i was ready to see all the bands play again..wow..i was so high from the music!!
ok shutting it now
[Jan 24,2004 3:27pm - George ""]

good thing my mommy dressed me all purdy last night.
[Jan 24,2004 7:31pm - succubus ""]
yep def purdy! i got a couple of great smile one's too...i'm uploading now...getting there...
[Jan 24,2004 7:53pm - Joe/NotCommon ""]
punk metal can come in many forms, usually though I am refering to bands like disrupt, discharge, macabre and such.
However, Motorhead would also be punk/metal.
Grindcore itself is punk/metal, excluding that terrible metalcore type grind.
You guys should distort your bass so much that any note played on it would induce vomiting.
[Jan 24,2004 8:02pm - the_reverend ""]
Joe/NotCommon said:Grindcore itself is punk/metal, excluding that terrible metalcore type grind.
there are a ton of forms of grindcore.... I think you are confusing.. you mean to say metal-core (bands like the accursed) which was a fusion of punk/metal in the 80's. kevorkians angels sound a lot like this form of music.
original grindcore was a term used to talk about bands like naplam death and carcass. very short songs that we no just call "death metal".
[Jan 24,2004 8:06pm - Terence ""]
All in all this was a great start to the new year.
[Jan 24,2004 9:21pm - succubus ""]
