This was an especially cool show because pretty much all my friends were present. It's a rare event to get all three Mancinis at a hardcore show. There was maybe 40 people there. I was suprised at the underattendance, but it was a great time anyway. Spak Brothers hooked up the food beforehand. It was great. Buffallo chicken sandwich.
Sinking Sun - I've been to several shows that they played, but I've been late to all of them and never seen them. This show was no different. I missed them.
Next band, something about honoring hope - This band sucked. Two singers acting tough. I hope I never see them again.
Forbearance - Fastish hardcore. I didn't like the singer. I'm sure I'll see them again sometime, but I don't really care for them.
Bane - Awesome set. Sing alongs. The only song I didn't know was Young and the Restless. They always bring the energy and the good commentary between songs. Like always, can't wait to see them again.
Hi's - Bane, good company, food, beer
Low's - attendance, work afterwards

8-10 The Swellers, Fake Problems, Daytrader, The Catastrophe, Trophies @Smiling Moose
This show didn't have me super excited when the day began. Shame on me because I should have been stoked. This show was extra sweet. One thing I love about going to the Smiling Moose is the food. It's not bar food, it's something completely way more awesome. I got the Habanero Burger, A+++.
Trophies - The show started extra early so we missed them.
The Catastrophe - We got to see one last song. It took us too long to eat downstairs in the Smiling Moose. Hopefully they'll play another show sometime and I'll catch them.
Daytrader - Cool band. Standard pop punk. Like the Ataris. The singer had 'the head jerk' going on, which bothered me a little bit. And his hair wasn't cool. Very New Jersey. Also he had on one of those tank tops on that makes you look gay and way skinny. Sorry dude.
Fake Problems - This band was the fucking shit. Great set. It's the singer that made them so awesome. He has a dirty rock and roll voice and is a great showman. His demeanor reminds me of Rob Thomas for some reason. We all enjoyed the set very much. Set of the night. I'll go see them again.
The Swellers - This was the best performance by them that I've seen. Good energy. Good songs, good crowd. I'll be seeing them again in November when they come back, I hope.
