MANTIC RITUAL!

[TheBigDon1]

MANTIC RITUAL shredded their oh too short set in Allentown, PA this past Wednesday!!! Jeff, Ben, Adam, and Dan: thanks for signing my increasingly rare MELTDOWN inlay.

One more request: please continue to make great thrash because you really have something refreshing going on.

Thank you, good sir. It was nice to meet a fellow forumer at the show - hope to see some of the others come hang at a show sometime.

Note to the forum: If any of you are ever bored and we're in town, email me and I'll put you on the guest list. Who doesn't like free concerts?

Actually, I just checked your myspace and realized that you are playing a block away from my apartment on Wednesday here in St. Paul. I'll try my best to come check it out, and if you want maybe we can grab a beer or something before the show if you make it into town early enough...there are some decent places all within a block of the venue.

I forgot to ask: who in the band listens to classical music? Your music is littered with its influence in terms of riff structures, which makes me appreciate it even more.

 

[Marwen]

I don't know about the other guys, but Jeff is indeed into classical.

This thread is probably going to get buried in that e-peen conglomeration about 'other bands' but I will say this: Jeff and his band destroy face.

Ken came out to the Long Island show! This is becoming the "Hang With the Forumers" tour.

Meeds, you should come out to St. Paul - we can grab a beer or something. Email me at jeffro.potts@gmail.com and I'll give you my number.

BigDon - We're all fans of classical music, bit I don't really see that affecting our songs very much. 4-bar riffs and straight-forward structures can just as easily come from The Beatles, punk rock, and personal taste. I guess we just use our ears and do what sounds best to us, and everything you listen to shapes your preferences to some degree, know what I mean?

Alright, typing on a phone is a pain in the ass, so I'm gonna go. Hope all's well on the forum!

I was lucky enough to be able to go meet/hang out with Jeff for a bit tonight in St. Paul and I got to see the whole set too (I was worried I'd miss at least most of it since I had a rehearsal to get to). GREAT show and I HIGHLY reccomend checking them out if you have a chance. These guys deserve the support!

Jeff-Again, great to see you and I'll be sure to stick around a bit longer next time. I wish I could've gotten in there and rocked out a bit more in front of the stage, but they wouldn't let alcohol out of the bar area. FWIW, though, everyone in the bar was saying great things about you guys.
