August 14, 2008- AYS, Masterpiece, Reaching Hand, Unknown, Brainwash

We got to this show about an hour early and the feeding frenzy went down. I like how we show up to the venue and head straight for the food. This show was really weird and the crowd was bizarre. There were a ton of girls with fan club shirts of some dude in one of the local bands, 15 year old kids drinking beer, dudes who looked like vampires, and just all sorts of randos. I even saw one of the vampires who was wearing a mesh shirt and corset pay with a check to get into the show. The first band was Brainwash and they were a punk band of kids, they played for 45 minutes. The second band was a death metal band and they kept using a fog machine. The drummer played like he never used a drum set before. Pretty sure they played for an hour. Reaching Hand was up and their set ruled. 2 GB covers and a Floorpunch cover. We played and our set was pretty wild. We pretty much played the most violent set ever. Moshing with guitars, attacking the crowd, stealing hats. We played on the floor and kids got on the stage and built a human pyramid so I threw the mic at them. Jonas and Nichlas attacked them too. The kids on the bottom looked scared as shit. During another song they did the rowboat thing on stage so I got up there and headwalked them as they were doing it. AYS's set was sweet. We just kept dumping bottles of water on the floor and sliding around on it.

After the show we went to the promoter's parents' house and crashed. In the morning we made breakfast, harassed the geese in his backyard and listened to shitty CDs like Slipknot (or as it said on the CD, SLOPKOT).
