Show Journal 2006-04-06
Well, that was a quick one. We loaded in at 7:30, had watched 3 bands, played a set, went out for dinner at the Montage after the show and were home by 11:45. I think whoever set up the show put the bands in the wrong order. Everyone was there to see Broadway Calls and we were pretty much filler at the end. Broadway Calls did totally rock though. Josh and Ty can play pretty much any style of music well. Who knew Ty could sing so well? Damn. Matt was a good front man as well and Robby seems to be a promising addition. I’m glad there is so much buzz currently surrounding their band because they totally delivered live and are some of the most deserving folks we’ve ever run across. Daggermouth was pretty cool. Very fast and very energetic. I’d like to see them again with more crowd participation but that’s the Loveland on a weeknight for you. No Secrets Between Sailors cancelled which stunk because I wanted to see them. Thirty3 was up next. By this point so many people had left (which wasn’t very many to begin with) they invited everyone to come up on stage which was cool since it felt small and intimate which is nearly impossible in a room that big. They also covered ‘Linoleum’ by NOFX in what has to have been a tribute to the stage. They sounded great and my ears are still hurting from Chris’s mind numbingly loud guitar. We were last and by this point even more people had left. We also had everyone come on the stage but even that looked empty. Maybe 20-25 people on stage tops? Hell, even half the other bands didn’t bother coming up on stage. There were a few people that seemed to be having a good time (including us) so I guess that’s all that matters. It probably would have been a little more energetic had Justin been out of his cast but that thing just isn’t healing quickly. Anyway, thanks to King Banana and people who stuck around late. The dudes in Broadway Calls and Tre Tre should already know they are some of our favorite people in the whole world.
