You people have no idea how hard it is to write about events that, for the most part, are a total blur.  Recollections of bottom less shot glasses, flash before my eyes, what a fun night this was!  And thanks to Kyle,  my favorite bartender, this will most likely be the most un-professional, inaccurate show review I have ever done.  

Going back through the foggy details of the evening, as I recall the first band to hit the stage was Super Bright Light.  These guys rocked it hard. The evening was off to a fabulous start from the first chord.  They played a great set that had the place going off!  After the set, Jason (from Super Bright..) and I did some shots and he was kind enough to give me a cd, so look for a review next issue.  

I am pretty sure the second band of the evening was Amerikan Made.  These guys tear it up, I like them...and they like deadontheweb. Somewhere in the archives, there is an interview with them, check it out (click here).  I wish I could tell you more details, but I was wasted an hour after I walked in the door.  

I can guarantee the whole evening rocked and all the bands were great.  For the life of me I cant remember one of the bands, but I think It may have been Pistol Grip. I think by the time Youth Brigade was ready to hit the stage, I was actually behind the bar, making shots with Kyle.  Youth Brigade was raging as usual!  Before the show, Aimee interviewed Shawn from Youth Brigade, so keep a look out for that.  By this hour, the pit was in chaos and the people emerging from the wreckage were covered in beer, sweat and blood, my favorite.  

Lots of fun! I started to come around during the Line’s set.  I was slightly coherent and remember hearing lots of my favorite songs... like Ignore, Commercial Music Clone and my favorite Modem.  Ryan was so intense during this song, he played with such emotion,  I was moved.  The Line is fucking sick live and I had a great time in the pit dodging elbows and flying bodies. All the bands that played rocked and it was a perfect evening, unlike the next morning....that, was pretty ugly.  I’m out..
