Show Journal 2004-08-06
It’s nice to play shows where all the bands sound different but everyone is still appreciative of each others music and set. Hollowpoint kicked it off with a good mix of punk, metal and a little hip hop. They’ve come a long way since last time we saw them. SWIL was insane to watch. Probably one of the most entertaining sets I’ve watched in ages. What style of music do they play? Well .. uhmm … all of them. Their guitar player is insane. Not in a looney way but in a mad skills kind of way, complete with face melting solos. Too much fun. The Brewed lived up to their name by offering up a beer soaked punk rock set complete with the singer vomiting into a pitcher before the last song. Good times. Our set? A little weak but seeing the other bands still hanging out and enjoying themselves was a blast. Thanks to the Rat and everyone we met tonight.
