10-7 Alestorm, Nekrogoblin, Aether Realm, The Bloody Seamen, Pittsburgh @Smiling Moose

I was pretty pissed off that the night before I missed the Ringworm show. Fucking bullshit work. Couldn't get off. But that's ok because Alestorm was for sure going to be the better show.

The Bloody Seamen - They were less bad than the last time I saw them, but still I can't say I enjoyed the set. For a pirate band, they're awfully soft. Really can't get into anything about this band.

Aether Realm - This band was ok. Very bang your head metal. The lead singer was fun, he was wearing a fake bearskin. The bear skin wasn't what made him fun, I didn't like that so much. We watched half of the set, but left for drinks.

Nekrogoblin - This band was ok too. The vocals were very very screamy. I liked the goblin guy in costume hopping around on stage. He was fun too. Metal for metal.

Alestorm - The main event of course. Even though the front of the crowd was going bananas, I heard that the back of the room was super bored. Who cares. Fuck those people. Alestorm played tons of good songs. Really enjoyed the entire set and I will always go out to see them play.

Hi's - Everything.
Low's - Shitty Pittsburgh band that embarrasses pirates everywhere

10-1 False Profit, Submachine, Fuck You Pay Me, Getaway Car, Connellsville @Marlene's Corner Bar

This was billed as the meanest show ever to be held in Connellsville. I think they're probably right. This show was mean for Connellsville standards. This was a good day all around. Beer fest in Connellsville was earlier in the day, so we were tuned up and ready to go by showtime.

Enhailer - This band wasn't on the bill originally, but got added. They were actually a welcome addition to the lineup. They didn't have any vocals. I remember them as a melodic metal band. A little sludgy and doomy I remember. Good band.

Getaway Car - This band wasn't too good. They're a modern sounding punk band. The vocals aren't screamy, more like Misfits style but different. I was a little bit annoyed by the lead singer. The vocals weren't bad, but nothing about the band was too good either. I'm sure I'll see them again if they're going to keep having shows at Marlene's, but I won't be going anywhere just to see them.

False Profit - This band was ok. A little more of a crossover band. They were ok. I liked about half of the songs pretty well.

Submachine - It's a shame that none of the people I grew up with going to shows didn't come out for this. I know those mother fuckers still live in Fayette County, but are too old bitter and dumb to remember how to have fun. Fucking Submachine in Fayette County is pretty epic, but no one but the 40 or so people at the show gave a shit.

Fuck You Pay Me - Great band from Cleveland. They put on a great show. Fast and loud and mean, just as billed. We saw them at the Skull Fest matinee a few months earlier and it was pretty great and it was more of the same this time. Of course it's disappointing that Fayette County really has no concept of hardcore punk so no one was real into it. But I was super happy that they came to Connellsville anyway.

HI's - FYPM, Submachine, beerfest, Marlene's
Low's - Nothing
