8-17 Skull Fest 10, Complex, St Ripper, Phane, Agent, S.P.I.C., Reclusos, Pittsburgh @Rock Room 1PM

The previous night we were out late, but that didn't stop us from being up pretty early and getting out to this show on time. In traditional Skull Fest fashion there was some confusion over who was playing and I'm pretty certain that all the bands didn't play.

Reclusos - I don't think they played. Google has pretty much no help when getting info on this band. When I'm not sure what band is what I like to find some pictures and that helps usually. No dice.

SPIC - From New York City. I think they also didn't play.

St. Ripper - A bunch of ladies playing fast hardcore punk. It was really good. One of the members sings for Sisters of Shadowwe. Fast bang your head shit.

Agent - Kansas City punks. They were really fast and really good. Noisy, fuzzy, fast hardcore punk.

Phane - From Canada. Similar to the other bands that played. Fast street punk. They were good.

Complex - Really good hardcore punk from Philly. The shirts in support of their new album Modern Mutants is sweet as well. Good way to close out the early show.

Hi's - The bands and cheap early beer.
Low's - None

8-16 Skull Fest 10, Ritual Howls, American Nudism, Sisters of Shadowwe, Death Instinct, DJ Ericas Scary's Dance Party, Pittsburgh @Belvederes 9PM

This was the second show going on Thursday later in the night at Belvederes. So we were pretty hungry and drunk at this point. The first show ended a bit late, but it looks like they didn't start this show until after the other was over. Maybe. When we got there I think Scary Erica was DJing. I think that's what was going on. The kitchen at Belvederes was closed for some horrible reason. At that second we knew we would be leaving early. According to the lineup I think Death Instinct was supposed to play first. Maybe I missed them. I think most likely is that Sisters of Shadowwe played first, for whatever reason.

Sisters of Shadowwe - Ok band, slow kinda like synth punk new age punk sound. For the last few years Skull Fest has put on a handful of shows like this. Not something that I was able to get into being starving and drunk. We left about probably halfway through.

Went to the pizza place by the bowling alley. Pesaro's Pizza. Hit the spot.

Hi's - Cheap beer, punks, tunes, pizza
Low's - Kitchen closed at Belvies.
