Well?

For me, I think my favourite would either be

Pushing Up Daises, Black Tie, In Medias Res, and Maurice at Little Fernwood.

or

Black Tie, Ba Johnson, Bella, and Immaculate Machine at Gary Oak Room.

Both were amazing. - Fri, 14 Oct 2005 10:26pm

I don't remember seeing too many gigs this year (looking thru gig posters), but the few I remember (yes, I was sober): Absolute Underground Benefit Show: Enchanted Fairies/AWT/The Beaumonts/Mitochondrion/The Sweathogs (Day 1, Logans Pub), Snfu/The Shivs/Married to Music (Lucky Bar), All Ager: Mr. Plow/Blood Nasty/Hoosegow/AK-47/Rebel Spell (Fernwood Community Center), KMFDM (Sugar Nightclub). Sigh, that's all I can remember. - Sat, 15 Oct 2005 1:52pm
