Hooded Rats opened up the night with a touch of Ramones style. I really liked this band, especially their "love ballad" at the end. The only thing wrong with this band is stage presence: THERE WAS NONE. The guitarist stood in one place the entire set with nothing the crowd can go off on.

Next up, after a very long waiting period, was Friday Night Murder which had a heavy sound and considering it was their second time playing, they were tight. But what the fuck is with the "slam dancing". I would've love to see a mosh for that set instead of a bunch of flailing idiots running around in a circle.

Kincaide: HOLY FUCK. First time seeing these guys, not the type of style I'd normally be into, but fuck, they were pretty fuckin' cool. Nice vocals and lyrics, drummer was slayin' and the keyboards were rad. Gotta say that this was my favorite band of the night.

Left before Tough as Nails played. All in all it was good night, would've liked to see more people there. I'll post pictures later - Sat, 16 Apr 2005 10:16pm

We had a great time playing this show. Thanks to Brian, the other bands and everyone who came out.

Hooded Rats- I had to go home and burn demo's cause I have a bad memory, I'll catch them next time.

Friday Night Murder- Some kickass riffs. Sounded really full and solid. Kinda a mix of hardcore with some good rock and roll.

Tough as Nails- Awesome. First time I've seen them. Totally tight, tons of great breakdowns. Good stage presence. My hat goes off to Dax for playing two high energy sets behind the drum kit in one night.

Good show all around. I thought the turnout was pretty solid, there could have been more, but there were enough people to provide good energy the whole night. - Sun, 17 Apr 2005 1:21am

Hooded Rats - I was impressed by the guitarist. The band itself was goodish, not normally the thing I'm into but still pleasant and fun to listen to. I agree about the mention about lack of stage presense but I was enjoying the guitar work. I think I have the same guitar as him - Ibanez RG 170? I also had the same shoes as him but that is beside the point. Why do I always comment about what a band member is wearing? I have to stop this habit.

Friday Night Murder - someone called them "warm up mosh", haha. I don't think that's completely fair. They played a good set and were fun. I enjoyed them more this time than last time.

Kincaide - This was my 7th time seeing them. I left with hunter to buy chocolate soy milk, then sat outside and drank it. I used to be willing to go to a show if Kincaide was headlining, now I think my interest is fading a little with hearing them so much.

Tough As Nails - Ruled of course. I have some videos of Van Isle Crew... SOME videos because troy had my camera for most of this show and I should teach him some things.. I think he accidently stopped recording. Anyway it was lots of energy, lots of fun, breakdowns and pileons, good hardcore, good times.

I also have pics of the show. I always make an empty promise to post the link with them and then I only do it half the time. My camera is a bitch in terms of my computer recognizing it, so the pics may or may not be there/here sometime soon. Some guy wanted me to send them to him. Hybrid Productions - Matt Clement. Alright.

Today was a good day. Thanks to Brian for putting the show on. - Sun, 17 Apr 2005 2:08am

Hooded Rats - Was decent. Old school punk, I wasn't really that into it. Lack of stage presence but I understand that as the guitar riffs were pretty tricky, the bassist was singing and the drummer... Well, was behind the kit.

Friday Night Murder - I enjoyed these guys alot more this time than last time. Probably because I moshed this time. I was desperate for any breakdowns so took what I could get. I'd see them again.

Kincaide - I really really like these guys. I'm glad Steve did most of the original lyrics to We Can't Run, I was stoked on that. Probably my 2nd favorite local band RIGHT behind Tough As Nails...

Tough As Nails - I love these guys and gal. The new lineup is solid and seems to be working great. Van Isle Crew as usual kicked ass. My only problem was the drunk people shoving us while we were dancing... It's always annoying, but usually unavoidable.

All in all, a really good show, I had a fun time. Kudos to Brian for everything he does for the scene.

Yeah thanks all for making it another great show. No real problems (only four kids tried to sneak in and they were terrible at it) and I for once got to pay all the local bands.
Cheeky, I think what you're talking about ("flailing idiots running around in a circle") is a circle pit, which is an old school punk thing that's been around for 20+ years. The smashing into each other moshing is "slam-dancing", and then what kids do today isn't as far as I know really even that, since I think you need to be jumping up and down for it to be proper slam-dancing. I prefer the circle pit because really anyone can do it and unlike every other kind of punk "dancing" it doesn't involve beating the shit out of each other. But hey, it's a big hall, there's room for everyone out there.

Oh PS. Death Before Dishonor and Blacklisted will tear all your faces off in June. Maybe the hxc mosher kids wil have some rhythm by then...:) - Sun, 17 Apr 2005 12:50pm

Holy fuck, I love playing shows like last night, sersly. Every show we play you guys all go off even better than last time, it makes me stoked to play songs that are 2+ years old. Sersly guys, sersly.
The line up was awesome, The distro sold a bunch of stuff, and the crowd went off.
The only crappy thing was that sunflowerseed guy. I mean don't get me wrong, I love eating sunflower seeds, but I do not love sliding all overthem during our set. Sersly. - Sun, 17 Apr 2005 3:47pm

Im afraid Im with Jay on this one 100%. Just because you play a screwdriver song gives the appearance that youre ignorant little retards for even giving those cretins more play than they should ever get. You ARE either racist, socially clueless or both. Now I dont know you personally so Im hoping you have just made a poor choice through lack of judgement rather than being racist but I cant help but wonder why would you even think of BUYING and therefore SUPPORTING a band that's sole purpose is to spread nazi propoganda? As for Brown, you really need to get to know him for years before you can truly hate him.......I mean HATE HIM I MEAN....er lets move along. Yar harrrr - Thu, 21 Apr 2005 8:16am

Ignorance is bliss. As long as racism in any form is tolerated it will continue to spread. FYI a band like screwdriver is NOT about the music. They are using music to spread their propaganda to uneducated insecure fuckups. If you weren't racist then Screwdriver lyrics would turn your stomach. Personally I never figured that using music to spread the word of such idiocy would ever work.....looks like Im wrong. Hitler would be proud.... - Thu, 21 Apr 2005 7:42pm

I actually never called you a Nazi. I said that you are an ignorant retard for not only listening to Nazi propoganda fueled music, but you spread its words covering that idiocy AND you actually have the lack of common sence to try to defend Screwdriver and call them a 'great band' while justifying the play of that hateful shit saying its harmless.....If you are not part of the solution my friend, you are part of the problem.

Well I have heard so many of the skinheads in town say that they arent racist..... Just how do you think that reflects on supposedly not racist skinheads when the bands they are in are playing Skrewdriver covers. As the heads of all the aryan movements in the states have said time and time again, the music is the easiest way to spread the message to the youth. So you sit at home listening to Skrewdriver and shaving your head and think that were wrong for saying we think your racist. Step back and try to use that pea in between your ears for something other than singing along with Ian Stuart. What exactly do you think people are going to think when they see a skinhead singing skrewdriver songs? What type of people do you think would be attracted to your band? Do you think it would be sharp's or any other type of non racist skinhead for that matter. Or would it be nazi, white power skinheads that all want to sing along and have a great old time hating everyone not like them. On that note, this goes out to everyone singing along in the front row when you play that shit, what kind of message do you want to send huh? Do you have any friends that are black or indian or gay or asian, or any other minority? How do you think it would affect them to know you were having a great old time singing along to the most famous white power band in the world? You are just the perfect tool for the aryan movement, an idiot with a mouth and an amplifier that doesnt have the brains to know better. - Thu, 21 Apr 2005 11:36pm

messageboards are crazy.i mean, aren't they just the randomnly juxtaposed declarations,opinions,and threats of extremely bored individuals? Like the dude from self-inflicted said,"messageboard arguments are like the special olympics; even if you win, you're still a retard".I don't know of anybody in the scene who's a racist,but I knew a non-racist friend of a friend who did a lot of drugs and listened to skrewdriver just because he liked the sound of the band; he's just to stupid to realize that his being indifferent to evil things is evil in itself. Also, I would like to remind people that Tony Galuza does not do drugs, and that the photo merely reveals Tony in his buddhism/hardcore induced trancendental state. - Thu, 21 Apr 2005 11:41pm
