| Japanese Air Force | Definitely a great show. All three bands were fantastic. Phil McCrank was a pleasant surprise. Great songs, great playing and very on vocals. The Cynics and Grace Nocturnal rocked their collective asses, like always. They both did a good job of rousing the kiddies from their seats and on to the dance floor. My ears were also ringing by the end of the night. Those are some loud-ass drummers! I think the potential of this room is huge, its got great sound in John Borys, a clean look and wicked sightlines. Hopefully Afterthought gets the chance to stick around for a while. It's a great opportunity for the bands of Victoria to play some all ages/mixed shows in a room that doesn't sound like a gym. ~JAF - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 1:59pm | ||
| crow | But what was the venue like?Did it get outta hand,did it work with the licensed all ager etc.??Give us a total review eboner please! Thanks. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 2:06pm | ||
| Japanese Air Force | On a room-related note: I think they could stand to treat the stage area and some of the walls, to deal with the reflection. It's a pretty bouncy room, sound-wise. Luckily John's used to that... I'm sure this place is way less a headache than Vertigo was. I didn't notice any weirdness with the dual-license thing. The cops showed up, checked everything out, left, came back again, etc. There wasn't really enough people in there to make it hard for the security guys to see any shit go down. I forsee the all-ages/licensed thing causing some problems down the road, if this place really gets happening. Hopefully not. It really is a great room. ~JAF - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 2:15pm | ||
| Anonymous | Is there gonna be a metal show at this venue in the near future? - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 2:58pm | ||
| Anonymous | I thought it was a great show too. I didn't think the sound was very good though. Especially the vocals. They seemed so far away. It was probably mostly the room like the guy said in the last post. It's a good place though. I hope to play there soon. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 3:09pm | ||
| Curious George | It'd be nice if a band like Grace Nocturnal could actually play a headlining set. 45 minutes? What the fuck was that? No show should end at 12 fucking 30. Grace Nocturnal are a bunch of fucking prima donnas. Boys, a word of advice. This is Victoria. There are no such thing as "rockstars" in this city. You and Hot Hot Heat need to get over yourselves. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 5:26pm | ||
| eboner User Info... | hey curious george..shut up! Grace Nocturnal did play a short set.. i know that wasnt all their songs because they didnt play 2 from the cd...but who cares, it was still awsome. the venue was upstairs, with a dark carpet..was it purple or burgundy? and the floor area was nice..plenty of room for the amount of ppl that showed up. the bar was at the side..and there was an area with a couch and lots of tables and chairs on either side of the room. the stage was in the corner and it was kinda small but those boys seemed fine. what are you talking about man? the sound was great..i was right up there at the speakers/stage for grace..after bugging them alot for an all ages show we finally got it..and they rock and rolled my fucking socks off. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 5:46pm | ||
| eboner User Info... | what was the highlight of the evening for anybody who had a good time? mine was when luke gave me..his drum sticks! ;) - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 5:55pm | ||
| Curious George | I'm not disagreeing that Grace played a good set. But simple fact, if they can only handle a 45 minute set, then they should be headlining. Armchair could have easily played until close, so why didn't they headline? It's not cool to force an opener to play a short set just so you can end a half hour early. Either play until the bar closes, or don't headline. That's the business. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 5:56pm | ||
| eboner User Info... | well, i think you really need to look at who puts on a better show..and to answer that question, well you were there you should know that GN put on a great live show. - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 6:08pm | ||
| Jackhole | The lead guitarist broke both of his guitars - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 6:09pm | ||
| Jackhole | That was part of the reason for the short set...that's what some dude at the place told me - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 6:10pm | ||
| eboner User Info... | haha ya i remember that - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 10:55pm | ||
| Anonymous | Kickshaw is the shittiest band in victoria - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 11:17pm | ||
| Anonymous | i think curious george should explain the business to everyone a bit more...if hot hot heat and grace nocturnal don't do it right, then why are they successfull? HHH is obviously more successful, but grace notcurnal is on their way - Sun, 1 Jun 2003 11:22pm | ||
| eboner User Info... | what the hell does kickshaw have to do with my post!? get off the drugs children. good point, Hot Hot Heat have done absolutly amazing for themselves and only jealous ppl would say otherwise. same with Grace Nocturnal. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:41am | ||
