let's see which ones of these bands actually play.

for.her.i.can.be.a.hero is the gayest band name ever

yes, for once we agree on something.
that name sucks wicked bad

I think they got that from The Maxx... at least he says that in some episode.

i love the new dysentery site design

I just got back.
wicked sleepy and my feet smell, but I'm working on the pictures now.

guess what?
chicken butt.

just kidding, pictures are up.

good thing Shading The End wasn't there.
they dress normal. Who wants that?

the black book diaries: definitely a different band from the first time I saw them. They are exploring a metal-core vein and dropped all the grindcore songs.

anaophales: Their set seemed amazingly short. Seemed like a lot of kids in the crowd did what they should, moshed.

sky cutting stars: Played all their “harder” tracks, leaving the longer tracks off due to the fact their set was 20 minutes max.

minus the map: stoner rock from Chicopee mass.

the breathing process: they have a new bass player. The second to last track they played rocked cause the guitar riff sounded like a deerhoof song.

into the moat: excellent. I had heard great things and wasn’t disappointed. They are a mix of POW and jazzy-grindcore.

for.her.i.can.be.a.hero: just back from tour with the acacia strain. Just back from a $2,000 bill on their van. They drove wicked far and then played. You connect the dots. Their usual high-energy set was sapped. I can’t wait to see them again, once they get their strength back and recoup the van costs somehow.

stimuli: when the singer came out, I was thought WHOAH since the flood. And they sort of sounded like STF for about 5 seconds. After that it sounded more like Blood Has Been Shed which was pretty good except for the clean singing parts.

kiss the cynic: a lot of bands use vocal processors to compress, pitch drop, etc, but the singer actually had a pedal for his vocals. Weird. They suffered from “not-from-there” syndrome. That’s where a band isn’t from the area so no body stays in the club.

every single nerve: Jobu’s band? Yeah, that’s right. Set out of line at the ‘cat and he’ll wrestle you to the floor, but now he’s in his own band. They are like slow-churning old school metal mixed with hardcore. Jobu’s vocals where higher than I’d imagine. Think old school BHBS.

days gone by: it’s funny hearing boston accents in between songs. They just got done recording their CD which is out on hitthepit.com . I love watching the bass player cause he could totally fit into Goatwhore.

red reaction: old school skater punk akin to Agnostic Front and old suicidal tendencies. Two words: snot rockets.

the program: eh, they were an emo band from cali. Not really my band, but much like stretch Armstrong, kids love it.

locked in a vacancy: awesome. These guys played a bunch of tracks and then called the sound guy up to rock the bass and play for the last song.

the acacia strain: minus kerri (bass) and added a temporary bass player.

since by man: Arty hardcore mixed with electronic loops. This the rise meets norma jean. I loved when they actually used the sampler. Oh, and I heard they were the loudest band to ever play at fat cat’s

with honor: nothing I can rav about that I’ve not said a million times at other shows. Granted, if they play “to believe” I’m super happy anyhow.

shai hulud: they played for 45 minutes filling out with old and new songs. The singer also said tons of posi-hardcore speeches. People listened and went up to sing along with me.

the show was decent. its good to finally be home. being stuck in georgia for 4 days was a fucking shitfactory, but the for her kids are good at life, so it was enjoyable. you should've heard the van...welcome to death.

but about the show, i didnt watch all the bands, but i enjoyed INTO THE MOAT and KISS THE CYNIC. I didn't expect to like any of the bands that played, but it was nice to have my expectations obliterated.

i kinda wished i watched the other bands, but i wasnt in the mood really. good job with the pictures.

"I heard they were the loudest band to ever play at fat cat’s"
Someone book us at Fat Cat's. Nooow or the dumb thing gets it.

or my band rather. haha.

bitches love the white gravey.

or BOTH bands... on the same bill. now that sounds super-de-duper.
