Pretty fun evening tonight.  Not too much of a turnout, a fact further exaggerated by a room as big as the Loveland.  Seems like each band had their own crowd tonight which was a little odd.  American Barricade was pretty good and had amusing stickers.  Verona was great.  They might hate this comparison but they seemed to have a noisy british indie edge to them but way heavier at times.  Pretty cool stuff.  Leaving The Scene was third and were also pretty entertaining to watch.  This was their kickoff show for a month long tour so we wish them luck.  Our set had several highlights … the appearance of a tambourine, a flying gnome, Dave being called out on his socks, Justin breaking his wireless (again), getting to play ‘On My Side’ for the first time in many years, and a cameo on Day Of The Dead by what has to be our youngest fan ever.  Quaker Gun closed the night and although they didn’t sound anything like the other bands they had some pretty catchy tunes.  Thanks to LTS for asking us to play and to the Loveland for having us.
