Day 2 had lots more people show up. This was good. The best part was that the sound issue was fixed. Wizard did a very extensive sound check and fixed lots of the bugs that were happening on friday.
The first band was Ancient Creation. They were decent. Nothing that really blew me away. Sorry Jeremy. The downside is that no one was really at the show yet so they played for an empty room. this is the one curse of being the first band at a longer show like this. People just show up later.
Voz was up next. I didnt really know what to expect. I was impressed. Prety powerful stuff. Nothing original but it reminded me a lot of The Ruffians and stuff in that vein. It is always cool to come across a good band when you least expect it.
Damien Thorne were up next. Loved the new vocalist. I was happy as hell they played "Face Reality". My favorite song by them. While not the most energetic band they were solid. Glad I got to see them. Hopefully now with a local singer they will play out more. I loved when they said that this free CD was for this girl and Pat grabbed it and everyone boo'ed him. Being a gentleman as I am took it upon myself to get the CD for the lady.
Stauter Xstroyes are a band who is talented and have a great vocalist but do zero for me. People really seem to like them. Just not me.
Skull Fist came on and blew everyone away. I can say that this was the band I told Mike to get. Begged him for days and he pulled it off. They were a fun band. You dont take them serious. They know how to perform and make thier act entertaining. The crowd ate it up. Wish they could have played a little longer.
Brocas Helm are a band I thought I would never see live. While not the great live band it was great to be lucky enough to have seen them. I know they didnt practice much before the show. This showed. Very sloppy but still entertaining. They played almost everything I wanted to hear so I was happy.
Wizard was the last band of the night. Most people left. They played like they were playing in front of 10,000 people. While I am not a huge fan they were really impressive to watch. It was great to see Mike and Chris come on stage and sing the last song with them.
The raffle was great. People had fun with it. I wa shappy that Pat won the Wizard picture disc LP. I like it when a fan gets something and not some guy who will just ebay it when they get home.
I was really glad that douchebag got tossed out of the show near the end....wish it was earlier.
I also wish there was more time to talk to everyone I wanted to. Time went by so fast it was really hard to make the rounds and watch all the bands. I didnt know I knew that many people.
Bummed that Brocas Helm didnt have shirts.
how about everyone else....thoughts?
