Capital H played a show - 01/24/2009

[Spaceman Spiff]

Goddamn... it was so much fun. We played for an hour, a 14 song set. We ripped. It was also the biggest crowd we've ever played for.

Most of the songs are originals, but our set was:
1. Dr. Strangelove (that war march song [the ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah])
2. The Aitch
3. Pleonexia
4. A Modest Proposal
5. Global Food Shortage
6. Everything Is Parasitic
7. Napoleon Solo (At The Drive-In cover)
8. Unholy Brain-Douche
9. Expansion Through Familiarity
10. Madvocate
11. Paper Planes (M.I.A. cover)
12. Omen (new song, third Capital H album material)
13. Dystopical Humour
14. Knowledge (Operation Ivy cover)

People were taking pictures, so I'll try to get my hands on some of those.

I'm just really happy right now and I want to play more shows.
We also got a pretty positive response, although we were one band that really didn't fit in on the bill. We were much louder and more aggressive and energetic than anyone else I heard tonight.


PS. The first band that played opened with Kryptonite by Three Doors Down, and closed with a terrible rendition of Rockin' In The Free World. :lol: How sad. And they looked like statues on stage. And the band that played after us souded like Limp Bizkit, and poorly covered the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The made an RHCP medley of Around The World, Give It Away, and Dani California... not good.

Go nuts.

I bet Paper Planes was badass. That song always sounds good when not done by MIA.

Some pictures and video may emerge in the near future.

The audience was probably about 40-50 people. I don't know for sure.

Paper Planes was so much ****ing fun and I want to keep it in our set. I think it's such a good song and I really enjoy playing it. We also build up the "Some some some I some I murder..." part before going into the last chorus. Good stuff.

I'm really happy we ended up holding the stage for an hour, because I'm sure it's longer than any other band's set tonight. :D

Sounds like you guys were only ones playing original material. Good on you.

Well, that's why we were there. We're not there to play crowd pleasing covers, we were there to play our music. It's why we put so much time into it. :)

My brother also brought one of his friends, the bassist of a really good Toronto band that broke up a few years ago, but he's played in a few more bands since then and is currently in one now. He said he really enjoyed our set.
My brother also said he'd talk to these other guys he knows who are in a band that plays around the city quite frequently to try and get us a show with them.

I'm looking forward to playing more. Hopefully we do another show soon.
