At least i post sober.
i thought the first ND metalfest show was 1999, when joe joined, and then we played that gig at Subterranean the day after (w/LWS, Grey Skies Fallen, Somnus, Wickerman)? Then in 2000 we played the main stage in milwaukee and then played riley's the day after because we played almost the entire knowing record we had just finished basically to the other bands that played and like 3 paying people, right?
OK, now you've got me thinking about this...
As far as I remember, (and a little Google research) 2000 was our first time at metalfest, and we played on the relapse stage. This was the year Katatonia, Opeth, and Anathema played here for the first time. I remener Clint saying "We'd like to thank Anathema for warming up the crowd for us". Subterranean the day after with LWS, Grey Skies Fallen, Somnus, & Wickerman. Metalfest 2001 we played the main Stage, and then we played Reileys the Sunday after with LWS, Grey Skies Fallen, and Somnus. 2002 we played the Relapse stage again, but it was in the side room, and we were sandwiched between Decapitated and The Chasm. 2003 we decided not to play.
I went up to the fest in 1999 on Friday with Chuck and Mary only to see The Gathering (who played Chicago with Kings X a few days before.)
