12-21 25 ta Life, Gutrench, xRepresentx, The War is On, Pittsburgh @Helter Shelter

This is the first show I've seen at the Helter Shelter where mosh was going on. Can't say I was feeling it especially.

The War is On - Tony and I missed them. I wanted to see them too.

Gutrench - Sweet Pittsburgh veterans, playing the shit out of some hardcore. I thought they especially killed it on this night. The guitar player is a true wise guy. I was feeling gooood.

xRepresentx - I don't like this band much. sxe jock shit.

25 Ta Life - Rick ta Life lost the dreads, wears a full body extra warm style jumpsuit, and cut the distro way down. I was ok with it. They played Fight Dirty, Wise to the Game, the Agnostic Front and Warzone covers and other bangers. I enjoyed this show.

Hi's - 25 ta Life, the innebriation.
Low's - venue too small for the mosh. I didn't want hit, I got hit a few times, I'm ok with it.

12-14-10 Madball, Bitter End, two locals, Pittsburgh @Altar Bar

This was my first time to the Altar Bar. Overall the club passes the general tolerance test. The sound was good, the beer wasn't cheap by any means but meh, the bouncers didn't start trouble, good floor space, nice blacony. Kenny had to park 3 blocks away, but I was super lucky and was able to park about 10 feet in front of the steps to the club. Great luck. We got there at about 9:00, missing the first two bands. Lionheart didn't show up, but I don't care because I don't like them to begin with.

First two bands - a bunch of kids and Shai Hulud wannabes from PA. We missed them both.

Bitter End - I thought they were good. Didn't sound like Madball at all, as my friends swore they were practically the same band. Tough, fast, good energy. They got shit moving at times. I liked them and would like to see them again.

Madball - slayed it. I haven't heard the new CD yet, but I'm going to get it. They played a few songs off the new album lat night and they were bangers. They never play long enough, I can't wait to see them again already. The mosh was good in a completely nonstupid way.

Hi's - Madball, mosh, super fun
Low's - The cold outside. Not much else.

10-25-10 Outbreak, Mountain Man, Hour of the Wolf, Mezingers, more

This show was at Garfield Artworks. Spak Brothers sandwiches were awesome. Like bust in your pants awesome. 138 paid plus guests and bands. That's super turnout.

Hour of the Wolf - Rock and roll punk. It was pretty good. Me and Kenny were starving so we left towards the end of the set to get Spaks. Not sure how I feel about the singer, he was saying weird shit.

Spak Brothers - I had a buffallo chicken 12", Kenny had a fried chicken 12". Both out of this world bangin.

Outbreak - we figured they'd play third at least, but they played second and me and Kenny almost missed them. They played about 10 songs in 12 minuites. No bones about it. People were going off. Sweet set.

Mountain Man - Outbreak Jr. basically. Fast and loud and extra fast on top of that. I enjoyed this band and I'd like to see them again.

The Mezingers - This band was really good. I watched from afar, but I'd like to see them again.

We left before Teenage Bottlerocket and Cobra Skulls played. We all had to work/school the next day. Sucks.

Hi's - byob show, fast hardcore, Spaks
Low's - leaving early
