Show Journal 2005-05-17
Back to Dante’s again for another fun show. Hang was up first and seemed like a nice group of guys. We played second and had what I thought was another great set. The on stage sound left a lot to be desired and in retrospect I don’t think Dustin could hear either guitar. I don’t know how he played it but he did. We busted out a few rarities including Apology To You and Anything, Anything. At some point Dave started telling everyone in the crowd that I go to Bally’s and kept referring to my “bronze and buff” physique. I’d like to take the floor for a minute and dispel some of these claims. I have never stepped foot into a Bally’s location (other than the casino) for any reason. As for the “bronze” claim, I can suure you that the skin under my clothes is so pale it could illuminate a darkened room. Lastly, one cannot get “buff” eating at Taco Bell three times a week. Ok, back to the show … Punk Rock Karaoke was a blast to watch. I figured it might suck in a 21+ crowd (especially on a Tuesday) but I’d go so far as to say it was far more entertaining than the last time I saw it at an all ages venue. The people tended to sing better, appreciate the band more and due to the effects of alcohol everyone offered far more engrossing performances. All in all a pretty good night. Thanks to Thrasher Presents and Dante’s.
