Last night was by far one of the best shows I had been to in a while. We got there a little bit late but the Decay was even later so we looked good. Apparently they had to break a window at Ben's parent's house to get their gear because they were in Portugal or some shit, who the fuck knows. Ben Brake also felt the need to proclaim his manliness by explaining on multiple occasions how he ever-so-gracefully carried the 8x10 up a flight of stairs alone. When asked to re-create this feat at the show with the 8x10 in question, he kindly turned down the offer and made Blurt lug their amp up.
For our set there were a good amount of kids packed into the room and I had about a square-foot of space to move around in which actually made things sweeter (I'm a lazy kind of guy). There was even the odd kid who seemed to know some words, which was a first and definitely pretty rad. They also may have just been sneezing or some shit but for now I'll go with the former.
The Decay set gets a thumbs up, breaking 4 strings in one song is pretty punk. Tie Breaker were also a good time. Orphan Choir destroyed even more than usual. Seriously, if they're not your favourite band yet get on it, link is to your right. Blurt's set was nuts, kids went crazier than Nick's hair cut. Stage dives off balconies, Blink 182 sing alongs, weed, and kids losing their shit all around. It's great to see kids getting stoked on punk rock bands again. Thanks a ton to Dylan for setting this whole thing up, it was a blast.
Some shots from the night, more on the myspace. Thanks to Crustina from Windsor!
