Alright well, I’m finally taking the time to write a review of one of our shows. I’m better to write this one since Rob and Eric left pretty muchly right after we played. So anyways, this show was really awesome. We played with some really awesome bands. The first band was called USV, the United States Villains. They were from somewhere in Wisconsin. They were a 4 piece with a frontman. They were very noisecore. I loved it. Lots of yelling and noisy changes. We traded with the singer of the band one of our CD’s for a 10″ of their band. Its pretty damn good. We played next. We opened with Horror Hotel by the Misfits. Eric wanted to play it cause every band had a Misfits sticker on something. Nyk came to see us and we made amends. See the hate letter page on our website to read his letter to Eric. We’re cool with him now though. We played Excessive for him. I ran around far from the stage with my bass on. My wireless system is awesome. Anyone who plays guitar should play wireless. It lets u move around freely and mine rarely fucks up. We got real wild and sweaty. We didn’t really bring anyone to see us but the audience was very amused and gave us mad props. It was a blast as usual. I personally think we played the best at this show but I know I’ll say that after the next one and the one after that…………………..blah blah blah………………… Next was FID. They are from Chicago. This was their 15th time playing the Fireside. They were alright. Typical Chicago style punk rock Fighters, Hitmen style. I traded CD’s with the bassist/singer. He was pretty cool. The CD is pretty good. They played every song but 1 and ended with a Fugazi cover of Merchandise. They fucked it up but said that they just learned it yesterday. Then the Vice Dolls played. I’ve heard of them before. I think they said they are from Indiana. They are a 4 piece with a girl lead singer. They rocked. Very fast, aggressive punk rock. I liked their energy. Every song is very fast. I talked with the girl singer. She was very tattooed and very cool. I traded CD’s with her as well. Next was the headlining band, Frontside. They are from somewhere in Illinois. They are a 5 piece with 2 frontmen who both get really crazy on stage and scream great. The bass player used to be in Suburban Refugee (RIP). My old band Socially Unacceptable played with them 4 times and knew them very well so he remembered me from that. Small world. They are extremely noisy and totally use noisy changes with lots of screaming over all the noise. Fuckin awesome. I totally dug them. Hopefully I can get the chance to play with them again. I had to buy a CD from them. The drummer said that they couldn’t give any away and that they had to make all the money for them. Oh well. Pretty damn cool that I went home with 3 new CD’s from some really cool bands. That was it. We got paid $10. I went home and puked from all the heat and loud noise. Then I smoked a nice bong and went to bed.
