Show #34: Riverpalooza III, River Grove

GET THE LIVE RECORDING HERE

Riverpalooza 3 was a blast as usual this year.It was at the River Grove American Legion right on Grand around River Rd. Rob my drummer lives a block away and Eric, my guitarist lives right across the fuckin street. The cops and an ambulance actually had to come to this show cause some girl wanted to mosh around and hurt her ankle. Well, Low Profile played a 55 minute, 22 song set. We played really well. We even did a cover of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues. How bout that shit? The man in black. So the place was pretty packed when we played. At least the most people were in there to see us play and it emptied out as we brought our equiptment outside. Selling tickets for shows is a pain in the ass. Eric and I gave all our tickets away for free. But of course the day of the show we had people calling us and showing up at the American Legion trying to get in and we had to refuse. I mean, people I offered tickets to a month in advance wanting tickets the day of the show. Sorry, u get a big “Fuck You.” We had the sound man, Ranger, get a DAT and record us live. We made like 30 copies on CD and gave them away for free cause thats what Low Profile does. So yeah, thats about it. Some other bands played. I’m only going to mention Cyribis cause they’re the only band worth talking about. I only got to see 3 of their songs. They fuckin rocked as usual.
