Show Journal 2006-05-12
Not nearly the same turnout or energy as our last trip to Lebanon, but that’s probably because hometown rockers Ugly Litter weren’t on the bill. The show got off to a really late start. The first band (who’s name is totally escaping me) had to help get the PA dialed in so the whole evening started about an hour late. After a very long and slow set change they turned it over to Moothart who I was looking forward to seeing play live. Their songs online were totally interesting. Screamo, techno and face melting all carried out by two people. They were pretty damn entertaining, partly for the music and partly for the spectacle. Nicely done. Stopwatch Trauma was up third and pretty much rocked it. They sounded super thick and professional and probably should have been the headliner of the evening. They sounded great so I hope good things come of them. We had to play last and watched helplessly as people filed out slowly during our set. Justin couldn’t keep a guitar in tune to save his life so it was a real stop-start evening at best. Regardless, a few people dug and that’s all that counts. Thanks to Charles and Club Hipnotiq, Jeff Litter and the other bands! No thanks to Dustin’s work for giving us such a close call.
