May 16, 2008- Masterpiece, Joyful Sounds, Kill City, Pagan Prayers

The Stripline rules. Probably one of our favorite places to play. The first band to go on was Pagan Prayers. It was a 2 man acoustic project with some anarcho lyrics and a good message. It seemed like everyone was feeling it. Kill City played next and Shaun was going insane. I think this was the second time I had seen them and they were awesome. Joyful Sounds played right before us and it was Jim's last show. Their set ruled as usual. We played an Al, the guy who runs the Stripline was stoned so he asked if it would be cool if he used his stage lights for our set. We had no problem with that. It made our set "theatrical". This was probably one of the best sets we have ever played and we changed up our set list from the normal jams. We played a ton of new songs including a brand new one that was just written last week and a song we wrote a while ago but never played live. We had a really intense crowd reaction and everyone was singing along and moshing. Luke is close to perfecting his mosh moves and demonstrated them on stage. Also at the beginning of one of our songs he started chanting E-C-W! During our last song, Living Legend there was a scuffle between friends of ours and that doesn't happen during MP sets. I'm pretty sure things got taken care of after the show but it sucked for us because we had friends on both sides. If you're going to brawl it should be in a wrestling ring with barbed wire and chairs involved, ECW style.
