Well,
I think it's only fair for one of the band members to throw in his own review of the show from this past weekend. Here goes:
For starters, the turnout was pretty nice. I was pleased to find that most of the people in attendance watched our set (as opposed to sitting out on the patio!). Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for the two bands that surrounded our set. For those who failed to watch Abolisher and/or Lydian Sea, you folks missed out on some terrific performances. That said, it was great to see everybody who checked it out.
As for the performance, I was personally happier with this show than the last. I think we felt more comfortable with each other on stage, despite the fact that the stage was perhaps less than half the size of that at Club Vegas. Curtis and Mike played excellently, and Dustin gave Steve Harris a run for his money. However, I think the real hero of the night was Matt. That man took the instrumental equivalent of a jalopy and made it sound like a brand new sportcar.
I felt better about my performance this time, but I still wish I could sound better on "Listen To You, Listen To Me." I was assisted on "Evil Princess" by Scott Huffman of Mindwarp Chamber, and it was great having his leather lungs on that tune. It was worth it all just to hear him sing, "Black magic bitch!" I hope that's not the last time he joins us on stage. I returned the favor by joining Mindwarp Chamber on stage for "Closing The Chapter," which is a killer song. Speaking of terrific performances, I think those guys stole the show.
For those interested in the setlist, it went as follows:
Sands Of Time
Kings Of The Valley
Evil Princess (featuring Scott Huffman)
Listen To You, Listen To Me
Crash Down
Far Too Long
Risk And Sacrifice
All in all, we had a blast. It went by entirely too quickly. I can't wait to do another show!
Stay metal. Never rust.
