| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Well done Chuck. Great mix of music made for a great show! Tough as Nails fuckin rules. Put on the best show ive seen in a long time with a tough NYC Hardcore sound. I was pretty stoked to hear a band like this from Vic. I want a CD. Jerry stole my beer though....haha ok we know thats not true. Gallows End played but that is my band so Ill just say it was cool to finally play in my hometown. It was good to see Tony G. ("Fuck Peace") again after all these years and Noel too. Even the dudes from Meatlocker Seven and Adrian from Seasons of Sorrow showed up for support! Shortfall got up and played a strong set of sk8core. But this was sk8core with big ass teeth. I will see them play again for sure. I went outside for a...uh...soda pop ;) and then came back in to see a huge circle mosh for Yeknob. And even though these guys dont have the dashing good looks of Gallows End, the crowd fucking loved these guys. And no they werent too drunk to play. If you didnt go to this show the you really missed out. Check out Shortfall and Tough as Nails at the Teahouse Saturday Dec 14th with Dissent (from Van) and Lythic Blue!!!! - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 2:15am | ||
| fark | well i have to say one thing POOP! tough as nails werent my thing....gallows end were pretty freakin cool, great guitar work in that band wasent feelin the vocals too much i dont like that screachy type of scream. shortfall were the reason i went there cool guys and there rad skate punk fuckin rights. i only stayed for about 2 minutes of yeknob i dont like hearing three chords played as fast as humanly possible with two guys yelling into a microphone some people do, good for them. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 1:21pm | ||

| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | This saddens me. I quit - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 2:33pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | you're fired. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 2:34pm | ||
| Jesse | yeah, it was a fairly good show, Good turnout. The place sounds horrible though, Maybe just cause of lack of a decent PA. Gallows End played well though, Its kickass to see other metal bands coming up. Shortfall were alot better last time I saw them, Maybe cause I was alot drunker... Who knows. I got to see the band I wanted to see, so i guess Im happy - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 2:39pm | ||
| Sparkles | Decent Show but just about the shittyist hall (rec. room) to play in Vic. Hard to get a good idea about how good the bands are when all you hear is the fucking buzz sound echoing from the walls. Have to say Gallows end was my favorite of the night, but I'm more into metal than punk. Amazing musicanship. Tough as Nails bit but only because of the hall. they seemed like intense performers but i just couldn't hear them. Shortfall was decent (once again, not a huge punk fan) and I left right before Yeknob. Anyway, cheers to all the bands. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 3:43pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Ross Bay, yer not the boss of me. And fuck ya! Jesse from Gross Misconduct glad ya made it! - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 4:04pm | ||
| yo momma at Shortfall | Thank to every who stayed to watch us play, we sucked ass but it was only the the third time we've played with our new drummer so fuck I aint complainin'. Gallow's end fuckin ruled!!!!! - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 4:50pm | ||
| Akylore User Info... | Fuck yeah; Jesse I can't believe I didn't catch you there.....'cause I was probably the only non-drunk one at the show!!! Anyways, Gallow's End ruled as usual...but my old buddies from town and myself came from Nanaimo to check it out, and we got what we wanted. Good ol', in your face melodic, partially-blues-influenced, swedish style death metal. What more could a metalhead want on his plate?! Matt's a fuckin' piece of work; he couldn't stop flipping his lid about the sound production of the place afterward which led to some interesting trials and tribulations after the show...but, yeah, our band is the same way about sound quality so whatever. Fuckin' guitarists. Nothing's ever good enough. Anyways, it was worth the venture, so even if some kiddie punk bands are present, go catch Gallow's Fucking End!!!!! - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 5:11pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | I could hear everything....just cant hear now! Shortfalls drummer needs some more sticks. It was great when he had to get up to grab his stick. People helped out after. He made some amazing mid air snags of lost sticks throughout the set though!!!! haha. The drummer of Tough as Nails barely broke a sweat. Crazy drumming but he looked all casual about it. Must have sold his soul to the devil for that ability. I broke a sweat just watching. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 5:35pm | ||
| Jesse | A good thing to do when playing in halls w/o good soundgear is to put the amps behind the drums so the drummer can at least hear what the guitars and bass are doing, and you get less feedback without turning down your gain. And if you only have one vocalist throw the other mic in the kickdrum. doesnt really sound better but at least you can hear each other and play in time. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 6:54pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | What a wicked night, finally got to see Gallows End, you guys had a good set. That was really too bad about the sound though, that was my first time in there for a while, I forgot how bad it can e at times. You have to play a show at Soundgarden sometime. Wow, the little mosh pit that got going was hilarious, one of the better pits I've seen in Victoria for some time. Cheers and beers to everyone who played, and Justin and Yeknob for having the people over after the show. Did anyone else see that chick freaking out in the girls bathroom? She was just rightly fucked up. I wonder if Myka remembers singing the YODA song with me? Ohhh my yoda, y-o-d-a yoda...yoyoyoyo yoda!!! - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 8:33pm | ||
| H | hey denise, was the chick wearing a white dress? if so, that's one crazy bitch - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 10:02pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | that was her H, wearing that white slip. and holy fucked was she ever fucked. Jesus christ those 15 year old chicks love mosh pits too, haha, many happy times watching them fall over. - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 11:22pm | ||
| H | yeah, that's my buddy's ex-girlfriend. She's almost as fucked up as him, and he's literaly insane. Tooooo much acid between the two of them - Sun, 1 Dec 2002 11:37pm | ||
| buddy | yah the show was rad , i not realy into metal but gallows end were great . yeknob was definatly the best band there in my oppion , they suck so much it makes them kick ass . too bad they didn't play longer . did anyone else see those stupid homey kids ?? that made me laugh , one of them went to the same school as me last year he used hassle my freind all time because he wore black nail polish. but anyway shortfall was kinda lame and tuff as nails weren't too bad , much better than pr 23 were good drumming though . - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 12:31am | ||
| Matt D. | Rad show by all. I think one of those "homey" kids was the one who started throwing punches in the pit when Yeknob played. That guy chewed on too many lead paint chips as a child. I later learned his name was "D-Style." All I have is pity. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 1:11am | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | haha, Myka kept yelling at D-Style to "CLOSE THE FUCKING DOOR CHUBBY!!!" I love it when he is intoxicated. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 1:22am | ||
| buddy | did anyone else see myka fall on that big plastic table ?? - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 1:30am | ||
| Myka User Info... | Hey!! I didn't fall... I was pushed over, and I landed on one of my beers, and it broke open, and I had less beer, and that made me sad. Yoda yo-yo-yo-yo-yoda. Close the Fucking door, chubby. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 12:38pm | ||
| gallow's drummer User Info... | hey thanks for comming out you guy's, twas a good show, but of course to all the bands it was shitty, but if the crowd was stoked, I'm stoked. We hope to play at least one more show before christmas, I don't know or care who with i just want to. specal thanx to our hellians who were in the pit for our set, you know who you are and keep it up.! Aaron Berg. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 1:52pm | ||
| Ganglionectomous Gastroenteritis | Well, I thought all the bands were cool, especially Gallows End. Except their singer. He was especially flambouyant. You could tell the big tough guitar player was keeping him in line throughout the show with his Gallow Glare, and scaring him fom acting to gay in front of the children. All in all though, not bad, and he can at least scream like a woman! - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 2:00pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | (shreeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!) ah my secret revealed! Bastards all of you. Bastarrrrrrds! - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 3:03pm | ||
| pserah User Info... | wow. sounds like i missed out on all the fun. no i lie. MACABRE FUCKING RULED!!!! - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 3:47pm | ||
| Myka User Info... | shut up psera... we don't wanna hear it. **gently sobbing** - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 4:40pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | I hate you you BITCH! *shakes fist* me and Myka are so gonna kill you when we see you next! - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 6:08pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Came and saw Gallows End. Couldn't tell too much from the terrible sound in that place. Unfortunately had a hard time hearing Aaron speak and vocalize. The set was mostly tight and sparked a great mosh like you only see at all ages shows. The fuck ups came from the terrible sound in that damn room. We need more all ages venues in Vic dammit!!! Back when we played Pandora a few years ago it was the same deal. I find it difficult to charge admission to a show where the band is feedbacked and fuzzed out the whole time. But we make do with what we have. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check out the other bands. Maybe next time. I have heard GE in the jam spot and think they will rise to the top of the pile soon enough! This was basically a negative review of the venue and had not much to do with the bands, but it's all part of the show. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 8:30pm | ||
| pserah User Info... | .....and i got picked up a copy of macabre's acoustic album (apparently it was only being sold on this particular tour)..... macabre covering songs such as "found a peanut" and "the cat came back" very funny stuff indeed. - Mon, 2 Dec 2002 10:16pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | wha? - Tue, 3 Dec 2002 1:16am | ||
| I-BOMB-A-NATION | Macabre used to be good....they sure as hell suck now, that fucking album dahmer is a piece of shit. - Tue, 3 Dec 2002 4:32am | ||
| Myka User Info... | psera... I NEED a copy of that album. - Tue, 3 Dec 2002 12:17pm | ||
| pserah User Info... | YOU'RE a piece of shit. - Tue, 3 Dec 2002 8:51pm | ||
| pserah User Info... | .......of course i'll burn you a copy of that album, myka. - Tue, 3 Dec 2002 8:52pm | ||
| Masturbating The War God User Info... | me too!! *looks at you with puppy dog eyes* - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 12:20am | ||
| pserah User Info... | no prob. just drop by some blank cd's and i'll get on it :) - Wed, 4 Dec 2002 4:58pm | ||
