March 22, 2008- Rotting Out, Alpha & Omega, Downpresser, Masterpiece

We showed up to Chateau Harder just around 5:30 but since we were borrowing rotting out's gear we had to wait for it to show up. Everyone there was partying and grilling up some food. When the gear got there we set everything up with rotting out and then we played a decent set. It felt like we were spot on with each song and it looked like everyone was into it. Pat played with us again and he did a great job. The bass amp he was using didnt have a ground so him and mike electrocuted each other 2 times during the set. Joe harder moshed during one of our new songs, you gotta respect the living room mosh. Its funny that we played a straight edge song to a bunch of dudes drinking, its not the first time but I get a kick out of it. I'm pretty sure they get that we dont have a problem with people who drink, its just not for us.

Downpresser played after us and it was fucking heavy. After them alpha & omega played 2 songs and the drummer from downpresser filled in for them. He had only heard the songs 30 minutes before playing them. He did a great job. Rotting out played last and it was jamming. They covered dag nasty and that rules.

March 19, 2008- Bitter End, The Red Awakening, Masterpiece, Teenage Kicks


We got to this show really early because we didn't realize that when you cross the border the time difference is back an hour. Mexico's daylight savings time is two weeks behind ours. To kill time we went down the street and bought some street tacos and quesadillas and then walked around on Revolucion and Jimmy and our friend James bought switch blades for 20 bucks. Wen we got back, we went upstairs from the venue and saw a poster for an event happening there that night called, "WednesGAY", awesome.

More Than Words was supposed to play this show but they broke up. They had a good run, you should still check them out on myspace. Teenage Kicks opened this show and they played a pretty awesome set. They play a really fast old school hardcore/punk and Josh from More Than Words plays drums. He rules. We played after them and our friend Pat played bass for us. Pat is a fucking awesome kid and he learned some of the songs the night before. There was some moshing and shit. After we got done I had to go outside and cool down because it was so hot inside the venue. I bought an Apple Soda and life was good. Because of this though I missed The Red Awakening but I could hear them from outside. Josh MTW played bass for this band too, so that means if MTW didn't break up he would have been pulling triple duty. Before Bitter End played we were all watching E! because there was a show on there called, "Naked Wild On...", nothing but nudity everywhere. We were all hooked. Dan from Bitter End was glued to the TV. It turned into everyone saying, "HELLO" every time a chick with no shirt on came on the TV. Naked chicks on cable in Mexico, who knew? Right after that show ended Bitter End was about to play and the power went off. What a bummer. The owner of the club hooked it up with some extension chords and the show went on. They played an awesome set and there was plenty of moshing going on.

After the show was over me and James hooked up with a few locals to go findsd sketchy shit in the city because it was James' fisrt time going there. It was wicked funny. The rest of the guys caught a ride to the border from Bitter End and then got a flat tire and a dead battery on the side of the highway and had to have AAA come fix them up. That's what they get for not having fun in Mexico.
