| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 5:43pm - the_reverend ""] leaving now. doors at 6pm. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 6:22pm - the_reverend ""] ugh... wearing a w4w shirt to a w4wshow. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 6:58pm - the_reverend ""] starting in a moment |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 8:04pm - the_reverend ""] Im slightly concerned with the fact that this whole part of town smells like fertilizer. A could bands broke up/ dropped off so this isn't going to be as long of a show as it could have been. Im still down my good camera, but I did bring a "new to me" camera and my last good camera. Let's see how this goes. kill andrade: you know a band isn't anything but nice when one of their members apologizes for not bringing a case of soda for the audience to share. Granted, once the music starts it's a whole nother deal. The singer's cowboy boots made me think about the seinfeid episode where jerry tries to run away from the muggers and falls. When the bass broke, it turned into all the KA people running around. Watching the sinnger make the fans in the center of the crowd jump rope over the mic chord over and over again was probably the highlight of their set. No wait, th highlight was the singer tossing a jug of water into the ear of someone int eh back of the room. The end of the set turned into a melee... The signer didn't understand what people were telling him. Don't break things. Too caught up in the adreniline of being on stage, He took people telling him not to break things as a threat and some fights happened in front of me. I got coffee on my shoe. A few little fights. After that band members and venue staff chatted about what happened and they finally understood each other. I just stayed out of the way as I saw/heard the misunderstandings fly around. The one suggestion musicially for them is that I think the singer should warm up before hitting the stage cause his vocals are rough and strained for the first song. I noticed that last time I saw them. I the end, the band left after the civilized conversations, never to play in this venue again and all of us are wiser knowing what goes down at a DIY club when you cause damage to some of the equipment. On a related note, people should straight donate mic stands to this place. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 8:40pm - the_reverend ""] TRANSMISSIONS: The name may denote different, but they are a hardcore band. Featuring the drummer from shoot to kill and a bassplayer who can't stand up after he jumps and collapses against his cab. They were wicked good. From NY and when they started, you got the impression that they are probably too good/tight to be playing this early in a show, but they were put on the show last minute. They played a cover song... I recognized some of the lyrics, but couldn't come up with the band that it was before I forgot them. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 9:23pm - the_reverend ""] Oh and the majority of the stuff that KA broke was their own stuff I guess. think again: it's awesome seeing a band that in 8 months betters themselves from an opening band to a group that tours and sounds really tight. Good for them. At the end of their et, they switched up some members and played a brick fight song. I don't get the joke. Though johnny was calling for GG songs the whole time. word for word: let's see... Johnny couldn't keep his shoes tie. The whole set he pause constantly to tie them. They were very proud of their banner, but it covered up the anchors up sign. I feel bad for the kid who took an alex to the face... No comment there other than OUCH. It was also good to see kill andrade's drummer still here, enjoying the show. they played crucified too. |

With in seconds, they had broken 2 strings. That left their music crippled for a few songs while they were replaced. The guys from the bonus army ran amuck in the pit. Good stuff. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 26,2008 10:16pm - the_reverend ""] bonus army, the: I always think this band's shirt says "bogus army". That kids is what happens when you grow up watching the original bill and ted's excellent adventure. New drummer and of course it was pretty crazy up there. The bassist broke a string and then had nothing to do. |
