Show Journal 2006-04-13
Although this was the smallest show I’ve ever seen at the Ash Street, strangely it was one of the most fun. Off With Their Heads (from Minnesota) was up first and even though they weren’t too pleased with their set I thought they rocked. Justin agreed. Very Dillinger 4 influenced and that’s a good thing. I also loved the Mediks. Tight, catchy, quirky and fast. I would definitely like to see them again sometime. They are going on a tour w/ Broadway Calls so look for them. Our set was uneventful. We played a few older ones but if no one is there is to hear the songs then does it really matter? Truth be told it was fun and I’m glad to see Justin is finally a little more mobile on stage. Still no jumping but we no longer have the risk of him toppling over in mid song. The Independents were up last and thankfully a few more people came out of the woodwork for their set. You could tell every band was bummed about the turnout but they didn’t show it and just killed it. I think that’s what separates the men from the boys, being able to throw down for a handful of people. Sadly we are still boys in that regard. There was a little drama during their set which made it unusually lively. At some point some random jerk started mouthing off to Evil P which is not a good idea since Evil is very big man. There were also some issues with the insanely intoxicated bass player from OWTH who in his drunken stupor decided to pick on Dave and wound up with his head pressed against the floor. As if touching bare skin to the disease and filth ridden floor of the Ash Street wasn’t humiliating enough he got up and tried messing with Dave again only to find himself carried out of the club by his throat and thrown to the curb. Seriously, of everyone there why would you choose Dave to pick on? You could probably get away with that shit on me, but why the big guy with the shaved head? The other guys in the band were totally apologetic and we all got a good laugh out of it afterwards. Thanks for Heather for all the hard work setting up the show!
