0062: It's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good...
And then they wake up the next day and they're on fire!


Last night's show, with the exception of one band, was incredible.

Here's the schedule:

Stage 1-

With These Hands 6:00-6:30
Tell Them I Died 7:00-7:30
The Last Regard 8:00-8:30
Red With Vengeance 9:00-9:30

Stage 2-

XTakeDownX 6:30-7:00
We Were Gentlemen 7:30-8:00
Aorta Consumption 8:30-9:00
Dead Thoughts Memory 9:30-10:00


A few things got switched around majorly, but that was the schedule posted by Hunter on his MySpace.

With These Hands was pretty good, I had heard of the name before. If anything, they were too metal for me, it seemed like all their songs ran together with the same beat. Know what I mean?

XTakeDownX sucked ass. They were probably the worst band I've ever seen live. We're talking about a either a midget or a middle schooler as the vocalist. Either way, he was just hitting puberty. He blamed his suckiness on his cold, but that didn't even matter, the music that completely drowned his vocals out was horrible too, I could do a better job on either guitar or drums. Sucked.

Tell Them I Died, or whoever they were, must have been pretty damn unmemorable. Then again, there was a band that played in between Dead Thoughts Memory and Red With Vengeance, so that might be them. I have no idea. I didn't like the band that played in that spot though, whoever it was.

We Were Gentlemen was the best band there. Holy crap. I have their demo, and can send songs to yous guys over IM if you show wish. Their cd sucks compared to their live show, of course.

Next was The Last Regard, who was daaaamn good. I filmed their whole performance and my friend Martin, the guitarist of the band, wants the videos on a disc. I rule.

After that Was Dead Thoughts Memory. I saw through the crappy microphone problems and saw a great band. Think Prayer For Cleansing meets Every Time I Die. Or... don't, lol. Whatever, they were very cool. Brad got their cd, so I'll have it soon, I'm sure.

Aorta Consumption was Hunter's band. They were missing a guitarist, but they were pretty good. They had a short performance though, like three songs. Three. Brutal. Songs.

Next was, well, that band... I guess it's Tell Them I Died, I have no idea. They weren't my style.

Lastly, Red With Vengeance. I've seen these guys a lot. Brad's wearing their shirt in the pics in my last picture post. They aren't all that good, but they're heavy as hell. "As subtle as a sledgehammer to the face." If you will. They're nice guys, even my mom likes them.


PICTURES! I'm going to be really lazy and just paste the tags that Photobucket gives me.

Me and Kit took pictures at the same time, and I ended up with this really weird one while she got a decent one of me.


Rachel and Rudy. 1, 2, 3... AWWWW!!!

I have more pictures and TWO HOURS OF VIDEO up for requests. Videos include a pretty nasty fight that ended with a guy unconcious on the floor having convulsions. I'd rather not share that one, but anything else is up for grabs.

I think that the best part of the show was the half hour we spent outside around Brad's car, lol. Neil layed on top of the car when we were waiting for Elisa and Brad to come back. It was awesome. Then Neil hopped off and started humping me in front of some 200 people, I was running for my life trying to get him off of me. Then Neil started dancing, which I got part of it on a video. And then we went home. It ruled.

The end.
