Show Journal 2004-10-16
I can’t believe we got to play with the Misfits. The first song I ever learned on guitar was a Misfits song. The first song I ever played in front of people was a Misfits song. Every time our band has recorded we’ve done a Misfits song. We’ve been covering Misfits songs at our shows since we started. I absolutely love that band and I think it would be a serious understatement to say I was just a little excited about this show. Yeah, sure there’s only one Misfit left in the band, but seeing Marky Ramone and Dez from Black Flag in the lineup was a fair trade off. To be honest I had already had a great show before we ever played. With the exception of the screeching noise that deafened everyone for 15 seconds our set went really well. The shirts and ties seemed like a good idea but good lord it was freaking hot on stage with two shirts. The best part was that people were actually moving during our set and I couldn’t have been happier to see that. Poison Idea was second and to be honest I still can’t believe we got to play with them either. They are a huge influence for bands around here and everywhere else as well. The Misfits were last and nothing else needs to be said. Major thanks to everyone who showed up early, those who traveled from Longview and Richland and everyone who got stuck outside during our set because of the security. I can’t believe we get to do it again on Tuesday.
