• Nnamdi is an indie god. Mosquitos suck. Underage kids shouldn’t drink.
• Mishu opened the night. I was surprised, because they were actually pretty good this time. Mishu has such an incredible record for terrible shows that they’ve become something of a running joke amongst our scene. We were all surprised and impressed.
• Touring bands! Black Churches were impressive, guitar/keys/drums doing a mid-tempo punk thing. They were a good opener, and worth the $2 door alone. I got their demos, vry good demos.
• Chalk Talk was hands-down one of the coolest bands I’ve seen in recent past. Punk/rock/emo, but their guitar and bass tone was out of this world. I encourage you to . And since they gave me permission to do this, here is their album, DOWNLOAD IT YOU SONS OF GUNS. http://www.mediafire.com/?bfm3nzijgwe
• Nervous Passenger. New Nnamdi band. Several bombs in the form of three minute songs. Moshing at a house show. Gonna be huge, in the “everyone likes them” kind of way.
• Every song that was about a chick was greeted with hysterical amounts of cheering.
• The bronze for drunken douchebaggery goes to the kid who showed up late, marched to the front of the crowd, stared at Nnamdi for five minutes, and then pulled out a beer that only said “beer” on the side.
• The silver goes to the one-man moshpit in the high school soccer jersey. When Nervous Passenger played, he threw himself with the stability of an epileptic sailboat in a hurricane. People
• But the gold for drunk douchebaggery goes to Matthew Eisenbart. Hey kid, if someone wants to apologize to smooth over whatever bad blood there may be, and you respond with pompous bullshit while you smell like underage drunk? You can get fucked. <3
