Show Journal 2002-12-13
If I had to rate it I’d give tonight’s show a 6 out of 10. Not the most thrilling show by any means but definitely a good time for everyone in attendance. BXF started off and sounded great. I wish more people were there to hear them but that’s the first slot at the Paris for you. (By the way thank you for coming down to play on short notice!) More people did show up in time for Monkee Torture but most were met with great confusion. The confusion was twofold … 1) what’s with the slow heavy metal dirges and 2) who is this masked man known as Baron Von Torture who is insulting us? You gotta see them live to understand what I’m referring to … highly recommended. Compact 56 was third and they sounded amazing. I feel that I am qualified to rate them as I have attended their last 5 shows. Brutal sounding tonight … just awesome. Chris owned the stage and we were humbled to follow them. Our set? I’ll just offer up the usual “we had fun playing” response. Nothing too earth shattering to report but we did play 3 new songs. Then there was that moment when Dave violated the Compact 56 banner. Thanks to those who drove long and far and thanks to those who come to see us regularly. Extra thanks to Ashley and her posse which consisted of roughly 12% of the crowd.
