| ___________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 9:48pm - RichHorror ""] Oh, it's $10 and the doors open at 7. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 9:50pm - MadOakDevin ""] i'll be there. bummout that lord mantis couldn't get on this bill. also, motherboar is shooting for a video. |
| ___________________________________________________________ [Apr 4,2007 12:32am - RWAKE disintegrates planet earth ""] I hope MB has enough room to shoot the entire set that RWAKE plays. A band of pure genius: not to be missed. I would gladly pay an easy $30 dollars for a single ticket. Go meet RWAKE; go meet the sludgey men from Arkansas. Truly intelligent masters of body shattering music, lyrics, and advanced mindsets! |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 4,2007 6:38am - badsneakers ""] hey! |
| _____________________________ [Apr 4,2007 6:57am - Mess ""] nice |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 5,2007 6:35pm - anonymous ""] sweet! |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 12:51am - RichHorror ""] I guess I'm in charge of this show now. I'll see you guys there. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 11:16am - Greg D ""] Awesome. First a bit of this then off to Kinslayer's bash of ill repute. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 11:16am - RichHorror ""] Yeah! I'd be going to that too... but responsibilities suck. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 11:19am - the_reverend ""] I was going to go to this show, but then I saw rich was in charge of it. if I do go, rich can you get me a SOA cd with my pictures in it? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 11:20am - RichHorror ""] Yep, I just set a copy aside for you. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 11:31am - RichHorror ""] Doors open at 6. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 12:54pm - RichHorror ""] Bloody Panda from NYC has been added to this. They'll be opening, and yes all the other bands are still playing. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 2:39pm - the_reverend ""] I was going to ask about bloody panda. is minsk and rwake playing the show in CT too? |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 3:25pm - RichHorror ""] Unless the CT show is a real early matinee, I doubt it. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 3:44pm - RichHorror ""] In fact, I thought I saw it posted that the CT show's lineup changed completely. I'm not sure though. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 5:17pm - the_reverend ""] the doors for this are at 7 not 6. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 6:03pm - badsneakers ""] going! |
| _____________________________ [Apr 13,2007 7:15pm - pam ""] I won't make this. People actually wanted to go, too. Why is this so early? Elk's club rules? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 7:56pm - the_reverend ""] um.. the first band just played. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 8:03pm - the_reverend ""] leisure: they only got 2 songs so it seemed like just when they got started, they had to end. A lot of the time, members would be walking around with nothing to do. The singer looked surprisingly like tomas lindberg. Please start spreading rumors about this. So far, it seems like the show is a big of a mess. Rich is pacing up a storm and bands are all late n stuff. the crowd is sparce thus far. RRW on now. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 8:18pm - the_reverend ""] raw radar war: they were awesome. I thought they were going to play a normal length set. They had a huge set-list. I was disappointed in the end cause they only played for 10-15 minutes. The bassplayer broke a string and that was sort of lights out for their set. Sucks. There still aren't too many people here. But it's improving. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 9:01pm - the_reverend ""] bloody panda: I'm pretty certain that members of this band are in disguise. Horrible disguises. and no, not the hoods. I'm talking the moustache! They had a ton of gear, but set up fairly quickly. granted their set up time was longer than the first 2 band's sets. It's too bad they couldn't play longer. The 2 songs that they did play were pretty awesome. The singer was this tiny asian girl who sort of chanted and echoy chant along with the music. some parts kicked in that really rocked. I swear that the drummer used to work at the friendly toast in portsmouth. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 9:37pm - the_reverend ""] the bathroom smells like the set of that video where girls put squid in their who-who-dillies. like that time I walked by the back of the grocery store in chinatown and stumbled upon where all the fish-heads end up. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 9:55pm - the_reverend ""] motherboar: they set up lighting to shoot a video of this set. a ton of their friends and fans came in for their set. Not once did they ask the crowd to move. they just did. This band gets more and more fun each time they play. The crowd moshed around and there was even a person in a shark outfit. The dude that set up the lighting for the video had it all back lit. I wish there was some lighting coming in from the front, but naw, it was all from the back. I guess the guitar player (who is in mess with the bull) only has 2 shows left with the band. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 13,2007 9:56pm - the_reverend ""] rwake just got here. minsk is all set up and ready to play. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:32am - the_reverend ""] pictures are processing. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:34am - RichHorror ""] Fun show. The last seven hours were more of less the mosty stressful in my entire life, but fun show nonetheless. If anyone wants to bring booze or pills to my house so I can sleep that would be spectacular. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:36am - the_reverend ""] I didn't read what rich just typed |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:37am - the_reverend ""] rich, I think your problem is that you shared your alcohol with your roomie |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:38am - RichHorror ""] I unwillingly did. If I let a beer on the table for more than five seconds, it was gone. What a lush. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:41am - the_reverend ""] that's what happens when people stop being polite and start being real |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:41am - RichHorror ""] Mad Real. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 12:46am - RichHorror ""] Motherboar was really rad and really not what I was expecting them to be like at all. Also, the true face of madness-- [img] |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 3:00am - the_reverend ""] minsk: they were so tight. I don't know what it is about the drummer's kit, but it is so unique sounding. It's gotta be those smaller toms. I'm not one to just sit down and listen to their CD, but live, it's fantastic. Since rwake wasn't here yet, minskset up and played before they did. Actually, minsk set up and then helped load in rwake's gear before they started up. This leaves exactly one hour for both bands to play. Anyhow, they pulled it off. Go see this band. rwake: 5 years later and I shoot them again. I've grown. They've grown. Life's move on and they have gained a bunch of members. From my vague noisey MMF 2002 memories, they were sort of noisey deathmetal. Now they are all doomy. They also have more dreads and 2 singers. Seriously, good stuff, but that was over shadowed by the excellent xmen tattoos on the singers forearms. Since they were late and only got to play a few songs, they promised to show up at 8am next time (june) so that they are at the club on time. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 11:55am - RichHorror ""] You are a Drunky McDrunkface. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 14,2007 11:59am - badsneakers ""] awesome show! rwake were the highlight for me... |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 16,2007 12:17pm - tony_petrony ""] RRW was CRUSHING!!! |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 16,2007 10:32pm - RichHorror ""] I heard from Jonah that afterwards Rwake and Minsk said this was the best show of the tour so far. |
