Show Journal 1995-09-09
(Revised Jul. 2023) – God I used to love Antiseen. If you lived in NC and you liked punk then you like Antiseen. The stories about their shows were legendary. Our memories have faded a bit so it’s hard to recall exactly who called Dave’s apartment, but it was either Jeff Clayton (the very tough, frequently bloody, and heavily tattooed singer for Antiseen) or Merle Allin, the brother of GG. Either way, Dave’s roommate Matt (also a huge Antiseen fan) was the one who was shocked with this phone call and got to break the news to us that they were calling to book a show with us. I recall shouting because we were all so excited about this show. I also remember those guys were surprisingly nice when we finally met them, and oh my god they rocked live. After that show Dave announced there was a party at Lee and Paul’s house. Antiseen and all their biker friends showed up to the house to hang out. I bailed early from the party (as I normally would) but the next morning I drove by and there were Harleys in the front yard and a few bikers passed out on the couch. Crazy evening.
