I thought they played that long here, but I could be wrong. That must be it.

I might be going to see UnderOath, Moneen, Silverstein, and He Is Legend in September.

Moneen and UnderOATH are cool. Well, new UnderOATH is cool at least. The older stuff sucks.

where is the show matt?

Kool Haus. But I'm not sure if I can go. I told my music teacher I last year that I would do dragonboat races with her, teachers and some other students, and it happens to be the same day. I need to know what time it ends at to see if I can make it to the concert. I would love to see all 4 of those bands, He Is Legend again.

kool haus is pretty nice. i was there for afi, and i'm going again (hopefully) for rancid. who are you going with?

A couple of friends, if they want to go with me that is...

if they're your friends they'll obviously want to go see band that they like

Well it's moreso if they can go. My mom won't care, as long as I have a ride there and back and it's not her driving, she's fat/lazy. But if I do this dragonboat thing, I have to travel another half hour because I will be further from Toronto. I might see if I can drop out of the race though...I was kinda suckered into it.

LOL your mom is fat. it sucks because i don't think the kool hause is on a bus route

Well it's a ways away from Union Station, not really walking distance, not late at night anyways.

Edgefest '06 Tempe, AZ 9/30/06
 

A Change of Pace:
These were the main stage openers and our first stop for the day. The venue wasn't packed so early in the day, understandably since it was ~100 out at the time, but these guys still put a lot into their show. Admittedly, I have both of their CDs but neither has ever been in heavy rotation for me, so I wasn't too familiar with their songs, but they put a lot of energy in and were entertaining openers.

Sparta:
These guys played second on the mainstage and though I'm not a fan of the band in particular, they did a good job, more or less. The fact that the band was out of tune for half of the set was a little discouraging and, well, unprofessional, but they did finally get in tune and that was nice. They felt like a watered down At the Drive-In to me though so I wasn't huge on the music. If they had had Omar up there on guitar I may have dug it a lot more though.

After this we wandered over to the local band stage for awhile because we had no desire to see She Wants Revenge. Alas the local stage was running an hour late so we stayed for the bands we'd planned on seeing anyways and missed Jack's Mannequin as well...which was a reputedly bad show anyways so good riddance I guess.

Seconds to Breathe:
This was easily the most aggressive promoting band at the festival. They had a lot of flyers and put a lot into attracting people to their show. Alas, the one hour delay dude to technical difficulties drove many of the curious bystanders away and their crowd was pretty dead by the time they played. They had a lot of energy, but I didn't particularly dig the music. Great crowd interaction though and they gave away a lot of free merch to attract new fans. Very classy.

Thousand Yard Stare:
While STB was attempting to fix the technical difficulties, the frontman for TYS was doing a good job of interacting with the crowd around there, very friendly, also giving out free merch before they even played. The set itself was better that STB as far as my tastes go although their set was not as energetic in my opinion. I did enjoy it more due to the music though.

Vitruvian:
Second time seeing them, amazingly, this time they were on an even smaller stage than last time. They ended up in the crowd a little bit even because they like to move around and keep the energy flowing. Todd wasn't a big fan of the music but I enjoy it. I think these guys are going to potentially be the next big Arizona band. They fit the local scene well and put a lot into their shows.

Captain Squeegee and the Soap Suds:
Second time seeing these guys as well, first time was opening for Streetlight Manifesto last year. They've matured a lot since then and put on a real good show with some great tunes and even have put together a CD I'll be picking up soon. If not Vitruvian I could see these guys also becoming the next big AZ band. Lots of energy, very friendly, all smiles on stage. Upbeat just like their music.

Now we wandered back to the main stage for the duration of the evening:

Authority Zero:
Probably the craziest crowd of the night. I was highly anticipating these guys and though Todd found them boring, I really enjoyed it. I mean, by the middle of the first song, trash bins were crowd surfing, you know it's going to be a good show. Besides the garbage bins, another highlight was the lead singer climbing up one of the stage pillars part of the way, and then leaping into the crowd. They actually caught him and it was pretty sweet.

30 Seconds to Mars:
Well, Jared Leto is an actor. As such, he likes to have a stage presence. Alas, he has so much stage presence they only played I think 6 or 7 songs in a 45 minute set, and their songs aren't that long. The were best the first time I saw them. They play too few songs because they talk a lot and they never play old stuff anymore. They could be great if they had a little less bull****.

There was a little but of space between sets so in the mean time the cameras were scanning the crowd. Well the got to this one girl on the shoulders of some guy, and, well, her shirt started to make its way up, and all of a sudden the camera feed died...to lots of booing. This happened several times before Todd and I realized she was about 100 feet away, and then we got to see boobs even after the camera feed died, good times. Even better was the dad who picked his son up to see it over the crowd. I hope to be that cool of a dad if I ever get into the whole family thing. Hell, if I have kids, they're going to Metal shows with me.

Rise Against:
Once again, great. Almost the same set list as when I saw them at Warped this year disappointingly, but besides that a great set. the crowd was too dead at this point for anyone to die alas, but that allowed us to get closer than I'd expected which ended up being real cool. During their set I ran out of water and was screaming enough that my memory starts to go from here on and I was a bit out of it towards the end of the set. Awesome though. At the end the hosts told us there was a crowd of 20000 people there which seems high but if true is amazing.

Incubus:
I was very out of it for this set. Headbanging plus dehydration and general fatigue really took its toll on me here. I don't remember a lot of it and I'm pretty sure I passed out a few times. Given that teh energy put me to sleep, I can't give it the best review, and it didn't get me into the band at all as I found it to be pretty mediocre, but the people there to see Incubus had a great time. Hell, it was their first show in 2 years in the US they said, so I'm sure it was quite the show to see. What I remember of it was pretty decent at least...but I was in a lot of pain and out of it so I was in too bad of a mood to properly enjoy it either way.

Wow, it's been forever since I posted anything in here.

So, anyway, last night I went to see KMFDM and Combichrist. It was unlike anything I have ever seen.

To start, I have never seen so many 'goths' in one place in my life. For those of you who don't know, KMFDM is an industrial band, and apparently 'goths' like that kind of thing.

It was also the loudest show I've ever been to. I thought my head was going to explode.


[B]Combichrist[/B] ([url]http://myspace.com/combichrist[/url])
These guys are from Norway, apparently. Having never heard any of there music, I didn't know what to expect. I knew they were an industrial band, but that was about it.

They played for about an hour, and I was pretty much blown away. They had an awesome light display (as did KMFDM), and they set was high energy. They got a huge reception from the crowd as well.

[B]KMFDM[/B] ([url]http://www.myspace.com/officialkmfdm[/url])
These guys were originally from Germany, which explains why a good part of their set wasn't in english. Either way, they were really good. They played about an hour and a half, and for the most part, people seemed to be really into it.

I got the idea some people were only there to see Combichrist though, based on the fact that a few people where shouting "KMFDM sucks" when everyone else was calling for an encore.

Either way, awesome night. I never would have imagined myself at an industrial show, but it was [I]really[/I] cool.


:cool:

Combichrist is pretty sick.

I didn't know you were into industrial stuff.

woo

Those are basically the only two industrial bands I've ever listened to.

Free shows ftw. :D

Anyway, I might as well write up a quick review of another interesting show I went to...

[B]Bukue One (w/ Tee Double)[/B]

[url]http://myspace.com/bukueone[/url]
[url]http://myspace.com/teedouble[/url]

So, yeah, this was a hip-hop show. I listen to very little hip-hop, but my dad was asked to bartend the show, so I went.

Bukue one and Tee Double were a pretty awesome intro to my first-ever hip-hop show. I especially liked Tee Double's freestyle.


[B]Psalm (w/ Longshot)[/B]

[url]http://myspace.com/psalmone[/url]
[url]http://myspace.com/longshot[/url]

I wasn't as into these guys as I was the first two (^), but they weren't bad.


[B]Mike Relm[/B]

[url]http://myspace.com/mikerelm[/url]

This guy was insane. He was just a DJ, so all he did was mix, but it was crazy. He had a video behind him which match up perfectly with everything he did. So cool.


[B]Del Tha Funky Homosapien (w/A-Plus)[/B]

[url]http://myspace.com/delthefunkyhomosapien[/url]
[url]http://www.myspace.com/a_p_l_u_s[/url]

I like these guys a lot as well. Overall, the whole show was cool, because it wasn't the kind of hip-hop/rap that you hear on the radio.

:cool:

Way to get into new music birna

industrial and hip-hop <3

That's why I love being an intern at a club. I get to go to shows that I wouldn't normally.

Industrial, hip-hop, death metal. I'm going to a rockabilly/psychobilly show soon, another death metal show, I was supposed to go to a reggae show. It's been amazing.

sick deal

you go to more shows in a week than i do in my whole life

:(

:p

I had 20 or so concerts lined up for this month, but like 6 of them cancelled due to the weather.
