Radium Girls - This was my first time seeing this band. They were fast and loud. Maybe like Capitalist Casualties woman singer style. I was thinking, with that name and all, there would be a bunch of chics in this band but it's really just one chic and 3 weirdos. More on the side of metal punx than traditional punx.
Cultivator - I love the singer for this band. He's an old ass dude with some crusty ass dreads and he's very entertaining. They have a more traditional punk style than the rest of the bands who played this night. I always enjoy this band and hopefully will see them again.
Illegals - Probably my favorite band of the night. They remind me of Slumlords from DC, but maybe a little heavier. The singer is so unassuming to look at, like a little weasel prep boy. But the songs are killer and the live set was kiler. A++ for these homos.
Creem - The crowd response to them was great. Some jackass knocked my beer on the ground, fucker. But that's to be expected. They kinda sounded like a faster and heavier Slumlords too. I have no idea why they stopped their set so early. If they were pissed about the microphone situation (it wasn't working consistently), or maybe they didn't like the smoke and the rest of the crowd. Who knows but they played a super short set to the dismay of pretty much everyone there. Bummer.
Hi's - everything, the venue, turnout, the bands
Lows - Short sets by Illegals and Creem, waking up in the morning to snow and work.
