Rogue Signals - I really like the name. That is about it. They're a rock and roll metal style band with a female singer. She's an ok singer. The musicianship was OK. Overall none of the songs were very good.
German Shepherd - Another local band. They were OK. Heavy rock music by four dudes. They were way better than Rogue Signals, but still I don't think I'll be going out of my way to see them.
Ramming Speed - Now I'm pissed that we missed them a month or so ago at Belvederes. They were super good. Pretty much a straight forward thrash metal band with some groovy hardcore inspired quasi-breakdowns at times. Good for the metal heads, good for the metal punks, good for the hardcore people. Some of their songs have serious sing along potential. I enjoyed pretty much every song very well. The singer was very entertaining. He looked like he was enjoying the shit out of himself. Fist pumps everywhere.
Valient Thor - I had only listened to this band before, but never seen them. The set was killer. Rock and roll metal done as good as it can be done. They're like a less heavy more party Doomriders. Very riffy, driving rock and roll with plenty of singalongs. I'll for sure go see them again.
Hi's - $2 beers, Ramming Speed, Valient Thor.
Low's - The Pub can get really fucking hot.
