Pardon my French, but holy shit this show was fun. Honestly this was probably the best show we’ve ever had at the Meow Meow and one of the best ones ever in Portland. The show was a special for local radio station 94.7 KNRK where tickets were only $0.94. (Actually they were $1.94 … damn service charges!) I was hoping there would be a lot of people there but I had no idea it would be totally sold out. Our set was great. No one fell in the holes on stage, Dave broke his bass and wireless in one smooth motion, Justin didn’t lose his shoes, the message board crew represented the front row, Michelle outbelched Justin publicly and someone offered to take a picture of “my instrument”. What a fun time. Billy Talent? I was skeptical of this “up and coming radio band” but I gotta admit I think I’m a fan now as they were pretty damn good live. I can’t recall the last time I felt the floor of the Meow Moew bounce like that. Apologies to all of the people who came out and couldn’t get in and huge thanks to Thrasher and crew.
