Earth-Crisis kicked @$$

The Blender Theater was host to an awesome display of hardcore last night. Earth Crisis, Terror and Sworn Enemy proved their worth on stage and if the size of the pit meant anything the crowd was completely excited.

When Earth-Crisis played Gomorrah's Season Ends the crowd was insane.
"I am straight edge. I am straight edge. I am straight edge."

I picked up and awesome Shai Hulud shirt with a sketched worm rider on it and two great worms in the background. Gotta love Dune. My friend's and I arrived late to the show and apparently missed Shai Hulud's set which sucked. I guess I'll have to wait or travel to see them again.

The Blender Theater is an nice venue, I really liked the layout of the floor and the downstairs areas had enough room for merch tables and two small bars that were nice to hang out at during band changes.

My Favourite Band of All Time

Friday night I went to see the Violent Femmes for the second time in my life. They played the best show I've ever been to. When they play acoustic instruments they play them harder than most bands plugged in. When I was 10 my friends were all skaters and listed to the Dead Milkmen, the Dead Kennedys, the Misfits, and the Violent Femmes. The Violent Femmes was the one tape that I loved the most at the time. They have always been the one band that most affected me growing up.

I love Punk and Hardcore, and Rancid is my favourite Punk band, but the Femmes just deliver something that truly moves me. They played for over 2 hours and the crowd was so into the show. I practically lost my voice singing to all the songs.

Definitely a truly memorable evening.
