Show Journal 2006-03-15
This show was a little off right from the get go. With only two weeks promotion there was maybe 75 people there tops. This was shocking since the last few times I’ve seen DBS it was as close to chaos as you can get at a show. 75 people is probably being generous and there were far, far less than that for all of the opening bands. Maybe 30 at it’s peak? Normally I’d try to find something nice to say about each band but since we could see some members mocking us from the side room I’ve opted to say fuck it. I had a scathing monologue about substance vs. fashion outlined in my head but I have neither the time nor inclination to commit it to the computer screen. Don’t be fooled though, our set definitely wasn’t anything to write home about either. We played alright but does it matter if no one looks interested? Justin’s gimpiness didn’t help the lack of enthusiasm on stage or off. On a positive note Death By Stereo rocked it hard tonight. You can always spot the great bands because they can rock any size crowd and leave you feeling good no matter how dire the turnout may seem. I figured they would see the crowd size, play quick and bail, but they took their time, didn’t hold back anything and got everyone excited. Serious props to DBS for rocking and especially for the AWK cover. Thanks to the few that watched the earlier bands and Wishbone for the show.
