This was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Municipal Waste fuckin floored me, and Hirax was just....man...I can't even describe how awesome and fulfilling it was to see and hear Hirax play live. They played fuckin Hate, Fear and Power. Also Bombs of Death. Absolutely amazing.

I had to work until 10 because I fucked up, did it sell out?

yep

Definitely one of the best shows I've seen in awhile... There are very few bands who can step on stage and put a huge fucking smile on my face I can't wipe off... HIRAX is now on that short list for sure!
[Jul 2,2005 12:07pm - BestialOnslaught ""]
Oh, and 666 beers and cheers to Robin for making this happen!

that was an awesome show. i gotta say, security deserves praise for letting the crowd have fun. unless it was different for those of you in the thick of it, it looked like they were understanding. before the show, one of the security guys was explaing the club's stance on moshing, stage diving, etc. and how they felt bad a lot of times (enforcing) since they grew up in the Boston HC scene. So, *from my perspective*, everyone had a blast - and lesser security guards would've totally fucked that up.
bands were all cool. fuckin great to see Coliseum and Defcon 4 again & despite high expectations, Municipal Waste and Hirax were still surprisingly batshit, in a good way.
good talkin to you rev.

I didn't know Tim Meadows sang for a thrash band.

I couldn't fall asleep til 5:30 this morning, I was so fired up from this show.

I wrote 1/2 my review on carina's sidekick and then it lost it as the movie started.
sucks.. will write more in a bit.

Such an excellent show. Best I've ever seen at the Middle East by far.
MW were great, but Hirax were the highlight of the night. Amazing.
[Jul 2,2005 10:18pm - Josh Martin nli ""]
Hirax fucking ruled. Best time I've had at a show in a real long time.

defcon 4 : this set was a lot less of a spectable from the last show that I was at. there wasn't any blood at all. I don't know why, but it seemed like they were looking at robin a lot about playing more songs or stopping. It probably had something to do with the time that they started and all the other bands that had to get on. It's also probably better that they didn't put on the "normal" stage show cause they would have had to clean the blood prints off the wall.
coliseum: I was sort of expecting the second coming of christ, but they weren't that amazing. they were really good though. people in the audience started to get into the sets by this point. I expected a little bit more anodyne and a lot less straight up rock.
municipal waste: wow... they audience went nuts for them. lots of people jumping off the stage and rolling backwards over people. I was totally happy with the security there. they stopped people from doing mega-retarded things, but for the most part let MW fans do what they wanted. I seriously thought it was going to get shut down right then and there. their songs were pretty good. punky, short and sweet. I thought that people said they were like motorhead... I must have misheard.
hirax: when they started off, I looked at the mile long set list and thought to myself "I'm leaving in 5 songs". an hour later and I was still there waiting for their encour. they completely ruled. starting right off, they played like metal gods, but were still insanely humble. everyone was thrashing around, headbanging, and having a beer time. er.. great time. I thought that a lot of people in the crowd (from the municipal waste) would have left before hirax came on, but they didn't. 80% of the house stayed til the end. this is what metal is all about.

tim meadows ruled as hirax's vocalist!
