Boston's Dead #28... SURPRISE!!![views:38328][posts:186]O'Briens Pub (Allston, Ma) - [deathamphetamine][leukorrhea][nefarious][nightstick][porphyria][randomshots] ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2004 3:12am - RustedAngel ""] well, I finally made it to the place at about 8 even after taking a wrong turn. Tim showed up at 7:30 and waited on the corner for the rest of our band (who don't know boston at all) until about 8:30 when they finally decided to call me and tell me they were lost. We tried to guide them but they went in a circle and ended up back where they started. Tim said fuck it and went to find them and brought them back just as Deathamphetamine ended and we jumped on stage and played. Huge thanks to deathamphetamine for going on when we were suppose too. This is the last time I let my band drive to boston alone, heh. Sorry if we caused any extension of the show. Other than this mishap I had an awesome time. Met a couple new people and saw a few I always like to see. The Bands played well and even though leuk. had feedback through most of the set they still pwnd. Nightstick was decent, but not really something I'd listen too. I'll post my pictures tomorrow. Thank you Liz for booking us and your help guiding my band to the club. I really really REALLY appreciate that you accomidated us, I would have understood if we were booted from the show.. I know we didn't make a great 1st impression to a boston's dead, but I'll make sure next time the entire band is on time. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 4,2004 3:37am - the_reverend ""] what was up with the bar keepers and all? they were super super pissed off about everything. they also weren't letting anyone underage in (ever with the whole "merch person" thing). some of the band members weren't let in cause they were underaged and they had to wait. also the back deck was closed down so all the little lotus eaters had to go some where else. deathamphetamine: they switched with porphyria cause they are always late. they were an interesting mix of black-ish metal and metal with a little hardcore thrown in. kind of reminds me of what weapons bring war. I think the vocals would sound a bit better if they were mixed better. they got better as the set went on. the guitar players looked like they weren't doing anything yet a bunch of cool riffs were flowing out of their guitars. The singer did the overkill thing and got off stage when he wasn't singing to let the rest of the band play. porphyria: finally, all of them showed up. no fans this time. I tried to be a fan, but it didn't work. the drums were set up so far forwards so the band spilled out on to the floor. I think they must be so used to playing small venues or squeezing in front of other bands drum sets. nefarious: damn, they only stopped once during their whole set. most of the crowd was fist pumping the whole time. their set was all the same songs they usually play put into a non-stop wall of blackmetal. leukorrehea: I looked at the clock and they were starting at basically midnight. their set was extremely short. it started right off with tecnical difficulties too. the bass player's strap broke and Aegathis's guitar was making horrible squeeking noises. the bassplayer sat on the ground and banged his head for most of the set. the guitar seemed to work it's self out and they just kept going. the sound guy told them they were done, but then let them play another song. nightstick: so I've never seen them before, but I've seen the cd case. Front of the stage as usual... and then the guitar player's guitar comes down on a rock, blasting me in the face with paint, wood chips, and rock powder. one destroyed guitar and that was the first song! for the rest of their set, I was looking at his guitars, scared that he would smash them.. they were nice... they had a clown in the back that did some sort of hippie dance while listening to a walkman and singing to itself. they played noisey, psych-rock. at some point another guy got up to play bass for one song. It was 12:55am and the sound guy gave them 5 more minutes, but they played until 1:12am (1:20 o'briens time). the last chunk of their set was done without a the board on as the sound guy packed it up while they were playing. And to get the set? another guitar crushed by a rock, shooting sparks out everywhere. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2004 3:44am - RustedAngel ""] for the record we've only been late to the last 2 boston shows due to our other members getting lost in the van since they didn't follow me from maine.. Though the last one wasn't our fault, we were told that we were going on at 8, but didn't tell me the show was changed to 7:30. :spineyes: |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 4,2004 3:46am - the_reverend ""] you've only played one show. the other was cambridge. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 4,2004 4:02am - Aegathis ""] Yea all those technical difficulties on our part were due to that fact that the fuse in amp head blew for what ever reason( 2nd time in about 8 months, is that normal?) and i had to borrow some one elses amp head last minute. Being that i wasted so much time trying to figure out why mine wasnt working and trying to get some else to help me out i didnt get a chance to really play around with the nobs on the head that got to use, hence all the squeaky noises. Oh yea, Tom , for some reason the pickups in my guitar were put in the wrong place , thats why it looks like im using my rythm pick up.Still works good though, and thanks to whom ever let me borrow their head last minute. |

Sorry we got underway late, but we did what we could with what we had, and I think it turned out pretty damn well! Nate, thanks with all your help on this show. And sorry to anyone who had to wait out in the cold...it seems as though Boston's Dead might be outgrowing O'Brien's... |
