feels like july, looking for alaska, wake up paper city, etc...[views:7904][posts:30]First Congregational Church of Braintree (Braintree, MA) - [fairview][feels_like_july][looking_for_alaska][semester_abroad][stay][wake_up_paper_city][wave_down_the_planes] [show listing] ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 7:36pm - the_reverend ""] im at this show in braintree now. the crowd is by far the youngest crowd I've been in possibly ever. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 7:37pm - Dave_Maggot ""] hah, you saw my brother. i almost went to that. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 7:41pm - the_reverend ""] yes I did though I refused to believe that he was actually related to you since he was not drunk or crunk and everyone is related to mark, not you. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 7:46pm - the_reverend ""] farwell whatever, it was their first show. they were what I was expecting on this show. looking for alaska played on the floor. there was no moshing, but it reminded me of the shows that I used to go to years ago at vfw's. minus the moshing of course. funny because a lot of L4A's sound reminds me of back then too. twice during the set they all fell down like dominos. the second time was at the last second when there was a micromosh. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 7:50pm - the_reverend ""] wake up paper city was so weird. it was a throwback to the mid to late 90's that is for sure. the music ran the gambit from poppy punk to hardcore to grove (almost funky) while the singer (I believe his name is dennis and put on this show) screamed. this back to barrit, orcid, strike anywhere, and even sam black church if you check them out. a few of the limited clean vocals were meh, but over all I was impressed and they should play a show with astronomer. srsly. I hope that the recorded tracks hold up to the live sound. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:12pm - the_reverend ""] some band with the eork plague in the name was pretty good. I wasn't expecting that. the had some parts that sounded like receiving end of sirens. since they were a tourig band the were tight. oddly there were too many people there for them. still it was enough of a crowd for them to have fun with out moshing. there was one single crowd surfer. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:13pm - niccolai ""] why'd you go all the way to braintree for this show? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:20pm - the_reverend ""] cause I thought you were going to be here |
| __________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:20pm - niccolai ""] Mofugga. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:22pm - the_reverend ""] the band that is on now keeps saying "what's good". I would like to yell "popcorn puppies kittens and icecream" but he doesn't pause long enough. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:29pm - niccolai ""] It's not enough just having your own oppinions on food an animals? you haveto press your views on the rest of the show-going population? |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 24,2009 9:33pm - the_reverend ""] you are fucking right I do. im like the people in PCU, but instead of tossing meat, I toss veggie hotdogs an veggie sides of beef. then I yell "take that chickpea asshole". |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 12:07am - the_reverend ""] working on pictures now... then i need to find out who the bands were. I mostly have no ideas... mostly. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 12:18am - the_reverend ""] I think one of those bands is wrong... semester abroad. pictures will be uploading shortly. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2009 2:04am - wheh ""] the crowd was rather young tonight. and great pictures, as usual! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 2:50am - the_reverend ""] yeah, wicked young. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 8:35am - reimroc ""] i spy trendy scene fashion |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 10:36am - niccolai ""] hahaha [img] literally no one in the building is looking at the band. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 10:57am - ryanmaxwell ""] haha, thats the "micro-mosh" part rev was talkin about during our set. they were mosh nazis at that place. thanks a lot for commin rev. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2009 10:59am - wheh ""] it was cause some kid tried to start a mosh and shoved a ton of kids onto the floor |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 11:07am - ryanmaxwell ""] yeah, my buddy greg. then he decided to go fight for his money back from the stuck up 15 yr old obese girl runnin the door. JESUSROKSNOT! |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 11:09am - ryanmaxwell ""] and yes id like to add that this place was 150+ underaged girls, and the band dudes. quite a sight, lol. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 11:20am - niccolai ""] get any sweet underage handjobs? |
| __________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 11:42am - reimroc ""] remember guys girls are like square routes; 13 and under do them in your head. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 12:23pm - the_reverend ""] oh yeah? what is the sqrt of 2.2 or 12.1? |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2009 5:58pm - reg ""] young croud cause it was a fundraiser for youth group or some shit |
| _________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 7:58pm - dennis ""] all the pictures look fucking sick and thanks for the little review of my band. the band tagged as Semester Abroad is actually "Chris Albert and the Affective Collective" though. and these braintree shows always attract younger crowds, i don't know why, but every middle school student (and maybe some high school freshmen) in braintree comes to these shows month after month. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 25,2009 8:25pm - eli_hhcb ""] I'm jealous of that dually. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 30,2009 12:46am - someonee ""] It was such a young crowd because it was for youth group....so obviously there were gonna be young people there. and like the youngest was 9th grade....maybe 8th. but most of the bands are wicked nice and will still talk to the younger ones. so i don't see what the big deal is with young people going to see bands they like. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 30,2009 2:58am - ryanmaxwell ""] there is no problem, it was a statement. chill. |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 30,2009 6:09am - the_reverend ""] their cash is just as good. I will fix that band name when I get to a computer. |
