400 Bar
January 15th, 2006
Played the 400 Bar on Friday and it went pretty well. I’m not usually a singer, and my bass lines have basically been lobotomized since I started doing vocal duty.
We passed what Wizard called his test for a band, and I agree with him about this one. We had more people listening when we ended than when we began. It was a house of around a hundred that Carleton had shipped up from Northfield. Why they did this I don’t know. Everyone could have just played the Cave.
At the start of the set we had about 15 and by the end I think around 60-70 could be relied upon to listen and be quiet. The rest had gone out to smoke and trash talk us. Not bad as I see it.
Presumably those people who left came back for the next band and I’m ok with that. The next band sucked, but I can’t shake the notion they set out trying to suck. The lead singer took a stage dive with no one to catch him, in his boxers. That’s about what I expect from a band that changes its named from Morbid Anus to Torn Angst, and then has a last minute change of heart on the day of, only to call themselves Torn Anus.
A sick girlfriend had me leave early so I didn’t get to see the last band up. They call themselves Shaker Revival, and hopefully they had a good show. Nice guys.
