Show Journal 2004-06-17
For years I had thought Conans was a little hole in the wall but it’s actually a pretty big venue with a huge stage and a big PA. It’s still a poorly attended bar with often mediocre shows but whatever. Before the show Dave, Justin and Adam (from C56) went to eat at a little Indian restaurant next door. When Dave returned I questioned him about the meal and he threatened to give us all a dutch indian oven. Compact was first and I’m glad they were able to claim redemption on this stage. Apparently at their last Conans show a monitor was thrown off the stage, the bass player was punched in the eye and only 5 people were there to witness it all. Kinda nice seeing them as a 4 piece again since that’s how we first saw them way back in the day. Everyday Victory was next and it seemed like it’s been forever since we actually played a show with them. In fact I think it has been. They rock. Plus they have nice guitars and they play them well. We played third and did i-ight. My wireless broke and I got a huge scrape on my leg from running into the drum riser. Can you tell I’m stretching for something else to write about? Thanks to Jeremy and crew for the show hookup.
