Low Profile live at Fantasy Lounge
Friday October 7th
with After the Fight, First Round Failure and Damnitall
once again i took the day off from work so i could sleep in and chill all day before the show. i went to breakfast at Four Seasons which is always a treat and later on got a sub from Al and Joes. i watched an episode of Oz. i’m on season 4 and theres a lot of good shit goin on. it was hard to just watch one episode but i had to start getting ready, warm up and whatnot.
we met up at Rob’s at 7:45. Satan rode with me in the van. listened to some Slayer on the way there to get us pumped up. got to Fantasy Lounge and it was the same as always. the owner and the same bartender working. she remembered us right away. what a lady!! i was serenading her with ‘she’s a lady’ by Tom Jones and she was cracking up at me.
Weber, Koz and Deech all showed up. we haven’t seen Weber in forever so it was good to see him. he took this pic of us with me and Satan holding pool balls but was trying to be professional and pose us a certain way. pretty fuckin funny. good ole Weber.
so Damnitall started their set around 10 or so. they played some good metal type punk. played a lot of good leads. and they covered Iron Maiden. can’t go wrong with that. the guitarist sported the Powerslave shirt and even had an Eddie tat. i should
have gotten a pic of it. here he is with Satan chillin at the bar. we played second. such a great slot for us. i used Steve’s amp and Satan used Cory’s. our set was:
Figure It Out
the Limitation
Walter Mander
the Will to Kill
Arnold Palmer
Carl Panzram
Where Was I? (originally by Guttermouth)
Solitaire
Ultraviolence
Hotboxed
Hybrid Moments (originally by the Misfits)
it was a good, fun, solid set. the Ernie Ball Sub looks awesome and she plays real clean. felt good to hold her. this was the first show i busted her out for.
Rub a Dub had some fun tonite too. he got to go chill over by Weber and hold his drink. slave drivin my mascot huh??
Koz came up and sang Hybrid Moments. it was a big sloppy mess but still fun. Betty walked in and missed us once again. hahahaha. all good. and it was a real treat to see Todd Winfro. i got this pic of him with Satan. and thanks to Deech for taking pics of us once again. u know we’ll have u do it at the Nitecaps show too so be ready.
After the Fight were up next. always a good set from these guys. thanks to Josh for inviting us out to play here again.
First Round Failure was up last. Shaun was definately rockin on the bass. i’ve never seen him play but he rips. they were a lot of fun and i was impressed. Nick entertained us with Mathis stories after their set.
so we hung out till they started kicking us out and then took our time loading our shit out. it was so nice not having to bring amps. i can bring my shit all in one trip then. Satan and i stood around and bullshitted with Deech for about twenty minutes and i got this pic of Satan coming across the street with all his shit. and this pic of Deech while he was walkin up on us. then Satan and i hit up Sussies and got some food. i just had a cheese dog and we shared a large cheese fries. it was such a big fuckin mess of cheese, but we luved it. check me out. i’ll let Satan tell ya about his crazy huge sandwich. that place definately rules.
satan165 tells you about ‘his crazy big sandwich’ — more then half the fun of playing at fantasy lounge is eating at susy’s afterwards. fat men like myself need what susy’s likes to call ‘one foot of good eating!’. oh, and how it is! good eating that is. of course i am refering to the ‘confused chicken’. costing around $7 and weighing in at around 3 pounds, this humungous sub roll is filled with onions, peppers, mushrooms and a shitload of shredded chicken. when you bite into it, the juices flow out like you shanked someone. if you are around montrose and pulaski, or pounding heinikens at the fantasy lounge during a gig, there is only one way to cap off the night. and thats with a confused chicken. get one today!
and oh yeah. hilger got a new camera. its pretty dope and i was showing hilger how to use the timer function so i took this pic. its so good i saved it and put it up here for your enjoyment. that is all. back to hilger.
well, it was a great day all around. i had a blast at the show. thanks to everyone who made it a good show. till the next one. same band website. same fool writin up a review.
