First band - I THINK a band played before heartless but we just missed them. I think this happened because when we were paying for entrance, the chic with dreads taking our money said her band played first and she pissed herself while playing so she had to change her pants. Nice. The crusties were in the house tonight.
Heartless - I've seen this band a bunch of times now. It seems like they're changing their style to more of a punk/metal thing from what I used to perceive as a hardcore band. I guess what I mean is less beat down, more fast and grindy. Still some great head nodding shit going on.
Killer of Sheep - Originally I thought this band was going to suck because their name is terrible. By the end of the set I love the name and can't wait to see this group again. They fucking ripped the shit out of their set. I enjoyed it very much so. The guitar player with dreads is funny as fuck. Fast hardcore. I'm not sure if they reminded me of Bad Brains because they're 3/4 black dudes, or if they really do sound a bit like it from time to time. Either way, their songs ripped. The CIC cover ripped. Everything was sweet as fuck. Can't wait until the Sheer Terror show to see them again. Hopefully they're on a show before then because they ruled.
Ratface - Easily the worst band of the night. But they were still pretty good. They play fast, but pretty standard hardcore punk. I like watching them, but wont ever be able to get too into them.
Oh Shit They're Going to Kill Us - The only band of the night I'd classify as a metal or thrash metal band and not a punk/hardcore band. I thought they were good though. The singers voice was pretty high pitched compared to what I was expecting. But they ripped it up. They didn't play long. I thought it was all very good, very thrashy.
Urban Waste - I never really listened to UW a ton, so it doesn't bother me that the new lineup only features half of the original members. They were super fucking good. My fav song was their title song, Urban Waste. Fast hardcore punk. I guess they started playing in the early 80's. Its interesting to think that they started up in NYC playing with bands like the Ramones and NY Dolls and shit. Though, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the Ramones and NY Dolls were too pretty to play with the likes of UW. Especially since UW is considerably more rough and shit than those other early bands. Bottom line is that they killed the set. The crowd was into it. And they're supposed to come back for Skull Fest. Can't wait.
Hi's - Turnout, Spaks, beer, cw, all the bands, everything en totale.
Low's - The smell (though a real punk show just smells like that so we didn't mind)
