| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:33pm - bludgeoncore ""] Wow, that really sucks for all those bands. Why the hell didn't Megan pay the owner? She could have kept the show going. Shit, she took in over $10,000. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:41pm - succubus ""] no noe knows what officially happened yet |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 5:54pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Here's all my cents about the show: Props to Sin Promotions for taking on such an event, but in my opinion it should have been done on a Friday and Saturday in just 1 venue. Even if it was 2 stages like the Shamrock, more money would have been made, all bands would have been playing for more people, it would have been a shitload more convenient for everyone, patrons and bands alike, and all the bands would have been able to play. But that's just me, so hey...whatever floats your boat right? Anywho, onto the bands: I came mainly for In Dire Need, Cannae, Remembering Never, Aganihm, Burn In Silence, BBTS, Freya and Dying Fetus. Burn in Silence was by far my favorite act of the night; great friends and a great band as always, got to sing along and even got a 'shoutout', haha. I hope to see them go places. Aganihm have some meat on their bones, especially for just one guitarist; i hear a lot of pig destroyer and discorance axis in their style, very good. I only got to catch one In Dire Need song, but it was satanic and brutal as always. First time i got to see Summit; glad to see Dan Lozzi is still at it. My only complaint was that the guitar was too quiet. Remembering Never was great; I found that most of the 'preaching' was reasonable, except the whole Jagermeister brainwashing shit. It's called advertising; that means that aaalll those kids wearing remembering never shirts at the show were brainwashing others to listen to RN. Come to think of it, one of my close friends actually got trashed off of Jager with the drummer of RN...interesting. Raising Kubrick was awesome; i had only heard a few mp3's before the show, and i was impressed. Great range of styles, heavy and catchy as hell. and that girl has some pipes. Even though Cannae were completely annihilated, pissed, and shutdown early, it was one of the best performances they've ever given. After sitting around for 12 hours just to play in front of 20 kids, they were pretty damn pissed off...and getting to play only 2 or 3 songs made it worse. there were falling all over the place but didn't mess up at all...that's professionalism, haha. Goratory was sick as well. I like "Shit Fucker", haha. At the moment, no other significant moments stand out, so i'm done talking. Enjoy the novel, hah |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 6:42pm - todayistheday ""] how many members are orignal in malignancy? they have been around for years but they looked wicked young |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 7:28pm - the_reverend ""] second stage cannae - they were completely trashed and falling all over the place. then the big bouncer guy said it's over the cops where shutting it down. but then after some noise was brought about the matter, the boys were let play 2 songs. at the beginning there was no mic and no right guitar, but after that was sorted out, they played damn good and it was fun considering the bass player was on his back most of the set. I had figured maybe they were getting shut down cause they were so drunk? but no.. to my surprise upon getting to the main stage, I found that place almost cleared out. spearing jocosta - sounded awesome. when I got in there, they were just playing around and laying/sitting so I joined them on stage to sit down and shoot pictures. but then they jumped up. these guys are pros and played amazingly for the few people there. eradicate - they had a song about john holms. after the remembering never BS, there weren't that many people at this stage. our dying moment - the drummer was so fucking jacked up... I thought it was the hulk up there. even if their band sucked, I could say that or my spleen would get ripped out through my brains. I sent some people over just to be amazed. anyhow, the band was pretty good, sounded like really old shadows fall. remembering never - bass player for on broken wings was filling in for them. they had a full set this time, compared to last thursday at club marque. tons of time to dance, right? wrong... the in dire need dance squad was forced to stop the mosh. everyone dance happy now! I guess one of the bouncers got on the stage. diatribal revenge - they sounded just like they did last time I heard them at the bomb shelter. the bassplayer broke something as you can tell from that one picture. scar culture - sounded great. the new singers right in there. they hve some big show coming up with shadows fall in long island... bit too long of a drive for me. december aeternalis - the bassist was on the phone with his girlfriend like the whole fest... even during their set. the music was pretty crazy. grail - lots and lots and lots of sound checking. seeing as the other stages go no sound checking at all, this was odd. hardcore with some death metal backups. reminded me a little of scars of tomorrow. year of confession - ex-skycuttingstars bassist, I guess. I didn't recognize him. tuff hardcore with some cleaner vocals. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 22,2004 8:28pm - yup ""] "year of confession - ex-skycuttingstars bassist, I guess. I didn't recognize him. tuff hardcore with some cleaner vocals" Ex-skycamefalling bassist |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 8:32pm - Bloody stump ""] I thought Year Of Confession was awesome... some brutal, heavy stuff right there. Their bassist was in Skycamefalling I believe. I also thought Grail was brutal! Definately check out these bands! |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 22,2004 10:08pm - the_reverend ""] main stage all that remains - they played all tracks off their new cd. on broken wings - similar to the last show (club marque) the old singer (jonathan) same a few songs and the fill-in vocalist (eric) did some songs. there was no rap, but eric's vocals sounded so much better this time. jonathan gave a should out to in dire need, remembering never, fassw, the underground scene and rttp. very cool and I appreciate the support. trauma concept - was their bass or bassplayer stolen? (at the time of this review, they found that bass.) their crowd was decent size. I think raising kubrick and them were tied. held under - they sounded a lot more like shadows fall this time around from a second story window - guy (the red chord) stepped in and sang with them for a few songs. then temp singer sounded really good on this stage. I guess it was the other club's acustics. burn in silence - they sounded better than at the fat cat. the crowd responded killer to them too. deadbydawn - ex light is the language. if you are waiting for a rebirth, they sounded a lot different. the vocals where old BHBS and there were a few break downs and groovey riffs. raising kubrick - peter didn't have the mega drums set up [img] (his set) they had probably the biggest crowd of the weekend. sounded great too. aganihm - fun set. no 30-minute set up for the drums either. they had the pre-set up set, missing the floor tom too. sounded good through in dire need - the vocals needed to be raised a lot more than they were. I was down stairs and knew right away it was them. the network - the vocals were really low for them. they also weren't using the right drum set and had no samples. still awesome, though not as crazy/axe breaking as the friday show. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 23,2004 11:16pm - jay-ganihm ""] firstly, thank you to aaron and carina for the pictures. they are greatly appeciated and came out awesome. second, thank you to everyone that came out to that show. there were a bunch of really awful bands there, and the people running the show were complete asses. i almost didn't get let in myself due to assholes at the door. anyways, it means a lot when kids dance, come out, give good reviews, or even come up to us after we play and say they liked it (especially when it's dave witte.) thanks guys. bands i really liked that night. the network, goratory, raising kubrick. i didn't see many others that were worth mentioning. oh yeah, the reason why i didn't take a half our with my drumset was becasue i thought shit was backlined, so i didn't unload my kit at all. when i realized that i could've used my kit, it was too late and i had to use that shitty pearl w/o the floor tom because i didn't have the hardware to hook it up (damn you pearl!) i actually had to adjust the heights of the toms and shit, and tune, and set up my pedal (which kept breaking mid set) but i managed to get the thing up quick (with kyle's help) and play relatively well. |
