You like the punk a rocka maybe the hardcore?

Code 19... fast and to the point, hardcore with a back flip! i didn't get close to the stage to see this band but the crowd approved and what i heard was quick and chattery. Like a squirrell running across a five lane highway at rush hour. Hope to check em out again soon.

Grey Army... these guys sounded good in this venue and there was a moment when i sorta thought i was listening to DeKruezen from years gone by. This band has energy and they feel the music they play.

Friday Night Murder... in the past i have found seeing a great band for a seccond time usually isn't as good as the first time. FNM proved this ain't true. Now i grew up on hardcore with out the chicka chicka riff that metalica introduced into the music world. So now we have hardcore with metal in it...... and FNM have taken it and done it right. I stood on the sideline and shook my head in awe. Just when the speedy noise of the hardcore sound floods in FNM changes the riff at the right time so it's like a slap in the head of crossover metal power. all i can say about this band is HOLY CRAP! This is MAN music! somebody record this band so i can bring them home!... ahh i mean bring thier music home.

Shivs... blind drunk? YES! this band has played some epic shows over thier exhistance. Tonight is another one that can be added to that count. There is probably no other blind human on this planet who gets on stage and belts out the blues like Blark. To see this punk is a test on your emotions. You laugh, you cringe, you pick up the broken glass so no one gets seriously hurt... At the end of it all he falls down a few times, spills a few drinks, has a double gin and tonic, knocks over the drum kit, has a couple beers, bombs a hippie, has another double... make it a quadruple and then for a last request will someone please make Blind Marc a fuckin sandwich!

Look for the new Shivs CD out in a month or so on some obscure European label.

i went strictly for the last two bands based on people i know in the bands but i was impressed by everyone that played. i dont think i was drunk enough to handle the crowd though, but it was good times. - Sun, 2 Oct 2005 11:47pm

Blind Marc ain't blind, he only says he is, it's a gimick ya know?!? :) I wish I could of gone to that, actually. I saw (I think) the Shivs at the Halfway House, best gig I've ever seen there. BTW: I've heard the new Shivs CD, that's gonna slay! The new material on it is better then Blind Drunk, not to say that BD isn't a good album, cause it is. - Mon, 3 Oct 2005 4:52pm

Shit Phil - you would've had to stand way at the back. That crowd would've busted you in two!! There was people flying off the stage and onto the floor and people bashing the shit out of each other - it was crazy!! - Mon, 3 Oct 2005 5:18pm
