And I remember going to Scott White's 12th Birthday party. Now he's taller and screams more. Good job Network guys. Mercury Switch was ok, but the drummer needs to goto the gym more. - Bill

wow, look, people went to a show

damn, i really wish i could have been there tonight. i love BSI and mercury switch are fucking great. the turnout was good though?

thanks to everybody who came out tonight and made it such a success. it went over very well with very few problems. we had a sold-out crowd and we were even able to get more people in everytime somebody left. thanks to everybody that supported the bands and the scene (i know its cliche). it looks like this might be a regular thing because of tonights turnout; just as people are respectful at the shows.
thanks again!
rob

Amazing night with Amazing turn out. there were so many people at this show.
I want someone to pist and offical count. I think that this should harken a new wednesday night thing at the muddy... take portsmouth back old school style.
(WF E-rom.. rip!)

over the top: this is rob g's (bordersauce) new band that he's been talking about and is drumming for. matt lacasse (ex-every band) guitar, giesel (ex-STF & ELA) bass, ryan deckah (ex-no bands) guitah, and a singer that I don't think I really know. I thought that my description would piss people off becuase they most-sound like Intergrity (circa rise one of my favorite cds) with hard-double base. they played 4 songs (about a 20 minute set). they jumped a lot, but I didn't know the music so I couldn't anticipate jumps, missing a lot.

the network: sorry to pete for blinding him. they were all over the place as usual. I didn't recognize the first song.. but the rest I knew. It had been a long time since I last saw them. since their flood. at the end, pete dives out into the audience and then backover the monitors, sort of landing on them. one of them fell off. the sound guy yelled at him about that.

mercury switch: lot's of kids seemed to be there just to see mercury switch. they were in front singing during their set. i always love seening these guys live. Singing a long to the clean parts makes me feel sensitive. After listening to the new underoath cd, I think they should have gone to at least one MS show to see how they should have made their new CD. anyhow, they ended with tonight tonight per usual. all the songs were either from the demo or the cd. I don't have any clue if they are writing new stuff.

backstabbers inc: so home town heros or something, playing their hometown? amazing. they had two guitar players too. this time, second guitar was played by that guy from providence. also, the obviously now have a drummer. he sounded pretty tight. I think they've only been practicing together for 1 month.


what's a show at the muddy river with out the sound guy kicking someone out dramatically?
so ryan (bsi singer) steps on the monitors and then falls on the floor. Some kid form the audience "tattles" to the sound guy, point ryan out as he's singing. the sound guys like tapping on him while he's singing... a minute later, between the third to last and the second to last song the sound guy is all in ryan's face yelling 'I told you to stay off them"
ryan was saying something like "I got it" and the sound guy didn't stop so kev from the network got in between them and starts yelling at the tattler that he's a little bitch, he's a little girl, stuff like that.
finally the sound guy or the promoter says "play your set, but I want HIM out" and they escourt kev from the network out.

very good turnout I figured it would be big..
I missed over the top because I was outside looking for money on the ground.
Mercury switch- these guys like god a lot .
The Network- always a pleasure to see these guys!! I think they played a new one,sounded real good.
Backstabbers Inc.-finally got to see these guys again wonderful to hear the new stuff live..
this show was pretty good all in all....the sound fucking sucks though people need to move the amps up to where the pa speakers are. I could not hear the guitar I had to ove to the side of the stage in the back to hear everythng...everyone should have played on the dance floor...those stupid pa speakers block all the fucking sound!!!!The sound guy looked like he was gonna cry when Ryan was in his face....hilarious!!!

I love Mercury Switch. I finally got their cd now that it's been out for a year. Every song is different from the last. Great stuff.

No beer made me sad, but all in all it was solid.
the_network was my personal highlight, although the drama that cut bsi short had potential...
glad to finally see bsi... intensity is good for the soul.

next show, they should have an "old men" section.
serving the B's.
beer
bengay
battered jalepinos
I would be making frequent stops there to bengay my sore joints.

hahahahahahhahahahashsdahhahaha.

You spelled hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha wrong.

You just don't have any great skills.

Like Bo Hunting Skills
Computer Hacking Skills...

You spelled bow wrong.

I thought it was Bo like a fighting staff? No?

Could be. Never heard of anyone going hunting with a bo staff though. Ya know, there's like a butt load of gangs in this forum. This one gang kept wanting me to join cuz I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

But anyways, back to making fun of Mercury Switch.

in the middle of mercury switch some kid looked at me and i think i was making a face like i was gonna puke..he kinda laughed
and I said,'' these guys like god way too much''....the kid replys,''a few members used to be in some christian pop punk/rap group''........................................
let me say that again..pop punk/rap group................................................................gun in mouth..

So do you have any comments on the music they played last night?

And yes I have nothing better to do then read this message board all day.

What are you going to do today Napolean?

Whatever I feel like I want to do!

the mercury switch boldly bridges the gap between nu-metal and awful metalcore with shitty ETID gimmicks.
these gimmicks include: motorcycles, danger, and skeletons.
worst crap ive ever had to sit through.
twice.

but they played on the mainstage of metalfest. they're rockstars

kyle osbourne was there and he is mega gay

That's more like it

It's not possible to like God way too much.

it's mega retarded when MS show posts always digress straight away to talking about God. they don't preach on stage.

That 2nd guitarist for BI plays in December Wolves and is from Methuen. Who would of thought?

brian fucking rules. if we ever get our shit together there will be a new december wolves lineup. anybody know of any cheap rehearsal spaces in MA? possibly in the lowell area?

that's it december wolves!
for some reason I thought he was in one of the providence bands.
my bad.

bo. bo staff. b-o.

bow. b - ow.

sound it out.

AMAZING :-) Can we use that for our press stuff?
-Mark (Mercury Switch)

Forget press stuff. Put that right on your t-shirts! I'd buy one.

I probably would too

I always hate it when someone only reads part of a thread and then acts like they read the whole thing.


I thought we were talking about Bo Staffs.

hey jake, how do you pronounce 'bow' as in 'bow and arrow'?

Get em' while they last.

hey that picture was copyright 2004 JSR DIRECT. how dare you post that here!

reverend censor this nonsense!

nick, you're gonna be so famous now. everyone likes the mercury switch, and everyone is gonna buy their shirt.

Should I print up some 3XL shirts for your mom sister? I figure I'll save the mom jokes for later.

sweet edit

Napoleon_Dynamite said:



Of course you guys can use that.
You should definitly make that shirt too,
but put like a skeleton riding a harley somewhere on it.
then write THE MERCURY SWITCHERS HOG FEST 2004 on the front.
id buy one.

and also bold the word 'twice' and make it dripping with blood.

Make me one and bring it to our next show and I'll wear it! Oh wait you probably wont be at our next show... Drop off a few at the door for myself and the other guys in the band :-)
-Mark (Mercury Switch)

if i actually took the time to make one i would definitly bring it to your show.
but its not high on my list of priorities.

^this kid is my new favorite poster.

make me 7 of those. i'll war one for everyday of the week!

sam (mercury switch)
