Show Journal 2006-05-21
It’s been way too long since we’ve played Bend. Well over a year in fact. Despite there being way too many bands (8 of them … on a Sunday!) the show went off without a hitch. We ducked out for some pizza and calzones soon after arriving and engaged in a bitter game of Scrabble for the better part of an hour. We’re so rock and roll. Got back in time to catch a song from The Roe and most of Wache The Dead who were far more metal than you. Eventually we got to play and it was pretty damn fun. Shows in Bend are so much more energetic than the ones in Portland because people aren’t afraid to move. We mostly stuck to the old stuff and it was cool to see unfamiliar faces knowing the words to songs. Kill The Kids were up next and had a pretty sloppy and rocking set. LAHF was last and although we had to bail in order to get home on time I’m sure they rocked as they are a great band to see in person. All in all a fun night. Thanks to Marty and his house’s crew, all the bands and our Bend friends whom we haven’t seen in a long time!
