Jan 9th 2004: Mercury Switch, The Hostage Heart in nashua[views:8532][posts:30]Club Drifter's (Nashua, NH) - [darken_the_sky][mercury_switch][stratia][the_hostage_heart][the_human_flight_committee] _____________________________________ [Jan 9,2004 9:52am - the_reverend ""] I'm heading to that show after work. I guess the ms pictures are going to be used in some mag. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 1:22am - the_reverend ""] I'm back. working on the pictures now |
| ________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 1:28am - George ""] sounds awesome! did MS cover deicide?! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 1:47am - the_reverend ""] you're funny, I'm pretty sure they are the anti-deicide. they covered smashing pumpkins. http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2004-01-09 |
| ________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 1:56am - George ""] woah, when i met those guys their guitarist A: Had long hair B: Was fat. weird. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 1:59am - the_reverend ""] same guy, looks like he lost weight. he also shaved his head. I was a little taken back by that too. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 2:22am - the_reverend ""] stratia: I wasn't really into them. A bit to emo for me. Also, all their songs where about jebus. I'm not bad mouthing jebus, but it was a bit too sunday school for me. I think some people in the audience were speaking in tongues. the funniest thing is I listened to a think about born-agains talking in tongues on NPR while driving home. darken the sky: wow, I was totally unaware of them playing. I thought it would be cool if they played (seeing as it's in nashua) and then I bumped into them bringing their stuff to the stage. Cool set. The owner cut them off their set with one song left, but then they got to play another song. human flight committee: I'd heard such horrible things about them, baptizing the crowd and stuff. I was happy to say that they were pretty good, not sure about the lycis, but good. sort of like a rock-oriented nora with some simple drum fills. they played 3 songs with the mercury switch and their drummer singing. these were all dedicated to the band refused. then they played 3 songs of their own. the hostage heart: if I get pink eye, I know who to blame. This band is ex-skycuttingstars. http://www.thehostageheart.com/destroy_rebuild_destroy.mp3 << listen to their mp3 there. this was their first offical show so there were a few mistakes and off-timings I could hear. I don't think it helped that they could hear anything up there. the new stuff is pretty tuff and the drummer blasts a lot. the guitar work is a lot more engaged that old SCS stuff. thanks for the props in the end too, they tried to get the crowd to give me $$! ha! mercury switch: so much better that the last time I saw them. they were really tight and it was so cool how all the people there knew just about every lyric that they sang. It was odd that they have 2 singers cause they both basically sing the same thing at the same time, in the same voice. actually the oddest thing was all the people that came on stage to "guest vocals" sang in the exact same voice too... weird... |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 11:17am - mikehostageheart ""] thanks for coming out rev. that was the most people i've ever seen at drifters, although a lot left after darken the sky (who were amazing, i might add), there were still a lot of people left. hope to see you tuesday at club marque. ion dissonance and forever is forgotten, and us. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 9:11pm - Mark (Mercury Switch) ""] Great pictures! It was a fun show. Im glad everyone had a good time. Anti Deicide? No way, we wouldnt cover their songs or anything, but we listen to everything :-) And A) Yes I chopped off all my hair, and B) I lost a little weight, but Im still fat. CHILL~ -Mark (Mercury Switch) |

| ________________________________ [Jan 10,2004 9:47pm - megan ""] oh wow do I feel like an ass... mark you know I love you... for some reason I was thinking matt... my bad....not gonna live that down lol |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 4:04am - the_reverend ""] mark, you guys need to play out more than just once or twice a year. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 5:12am - George ""] and play better venues than some random cubical basement in my band pratice's studio complex in lexington... |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 5:14am - the_reverend ""] and play my radio show |
| ________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 5:17am - George ""] and touch rev in the pants |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 5:18am - the_reverend ""] and play with george's boobs |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 11,2004 2:06pm - Mark (MMMP) ""] Yea we havent been playing much because I went out on tour with As I Lay Dying (Metal Blade records) for a couple monthes filling in on guitar with them. So now that I am back Mercury Switch is back in action. We are touring with Haste The Day (Solid State records) in the northeast from Feb 1st-Feb 6th. So keep an ear out for the shows. Later~ -Mark (Mercury Switch) |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 16,2004 7:16am - the_reverend ""] if this were the early 90's, I would say "no duh" to you. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 16,2004 10:41am - mikehostageheart ""] whereas the hostage heart sings about humpin bitches and drinking whiskey straight. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 17,2004 11:15pm - makelovesohard ""] (succubus said: what do you shoot with?) fully manual Canon AE1. i love it, but i'm definately looking for something...newer. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 17,2004 11:20pm - succubus ""] cool! aaron (the reverend) and i shoot with the nikon d100, but i used to shoot with a canon elan 7e =) i love the 50mm 1.4 great for shooting larger concerts when you're not allowed to use the flash. you develop it yourself? you want to move to digital? |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 17,2004 11:55pm - makelovesohard ""] i would LOVE to be able to develop them myself. but alas, a darkroom is no where to be found. and i think i'd like to try my hand with digital...i actually was standing over (aaron's) shoulder at the show and drooling over his camera... brilliant...what would you suggest? |
