May 30, 2008- Rotting Out, Masterpiece, Hostage Calm, Offtrack, Blocked Out

You can see that the line up slightly changed from the original flyer. Also, Careless Days was supposed to play this show but they broke up which sucks because I thought those dudes were pretty good. This was our second time playing the Hellfish and that place is really awesome. It is a screen printing shop that moves all its shit outside to have shows, much respect. The only downside to this show was that the PA speakers sounded blown and it made everyone sound like Jake Bannon from Converge. (Converge rules by the way.)

Blocked Out played first, it looked like they were really awkward when they were playing. They are obviously a new band and its probably the first band any of them have been in, you gotta start somewhere. I don't think the bassist had his shit plugged in though. Offtrack played second and I honestly don't remember anything about their set. Hostage Calm from CT played and they were pretty awesome. Aside from the complications with the PA they sounded on point. I was really into them and you should check them out. They were all pretty cool guys too. We played after them and we played a set similar to the last couple shows we have played. Crucial D., some others and Luke were holding it down with the crowd reaction. As I looked around as we were playing it seemed like people were digging us. Rotting Out played last and they played like 5 cover songs. Dag Nasty, Cro-Mags, Pennywise, Minor Threat, and Suicidal I think, I went back outside right before that one to man the merch tables. RO have new Football Jerseys. They are pretty expensive but definitely a cool piece of merch.

Pat's new name is "CHUNO" because he cheats at Uno. This was the last show Pat is going to play for about 20 days or so. Pat and Luke are heading out to Europe for vacation. While they are there, there is some fest going on and the last day of it is the "Dutch Open Mosh Competition". I'm pretty sure a trophy is involved. When Pat gets back we are playing a pretty sweet show with Have Heart, Verse and Built to Last at the Che.
