Show Journal 2001-02-24
Basement shows are always cramped, hot and incredibly loud. This one was no exception. Polar opposite from last night’s show, but still a lot of fun to play. Compact 56 rocks hard. Excuse me, they rock very, very, very hard.. Totally rad show by them. Our set was good but it went by pretty quick. Since it’s a house we were supposed to be done by 10:00, but since there were 3 bands before us we didn’t start until 9:45. We burned through a couple of songs as fast as we could and thankfully the owners of the house let us play an extra 15 minutes. We got to play a cover tonight (Astro Zombies) and also unveil a new song. Not too much else exciting to report on this show. Thanks to the owners of the Animal House for letting us play late and also thanks to the people who came all the way from Portland and Bend. Also, a special mention to the guy who saw us at Thee O back in ’97!
