i wonder if rich is gonna show up to drop the fun bomb.

I will be there and shall do my best to make sure a certain someone doesn't smash his face open this time.

I'm going to drop the F bomb.

dude, I aint missin this!

Oh, and I hope we don't get thrown out this time!

You got thrown at last time?

EVERYONE did! They stopped the show and told everyone to get out when Municipal Waste was on. Lame!

You weren't there?

At the Elks Lodge? I was there and watched MW and saw no evidence of this.

... maybe I was too busy getting Matt to go to the hospital.

yeah seriously what the fuck are you talking about. i was there watching MW have a great show. one of the best times ive had in a while and if TS wasnt playing OBs the same night i'd be at this watching it again.

but they never shut the show down or kicked people out, actually the old doods were pretty chill about it. besides stupid young punks drinking outside and ruining another spot for DIY shows.

Well, Municipal Waste went on, but had to stop after 15-20 minutes because the elks lodge has a curfew with everyon in the neighborhood. The only reason MW suffered from this was because Baronness decided to play for 45 minutes, even though I'm pretty sure it was only 2 songs.

Yeah, no one got kicked out though. It's called the show is over.

RichHorror said:

why are you making us leave

That made me laughm and I have no idea why. I have a heart filled with rainbows and butterflies.

RichHorror said:

Huh... everyone around me was saying we were getting kicked out. I was too busy with the bloody boyfriend to be paying much attention, I guess. Sorry!

Anway, I'm really looking forward to this!

Worshipping the devil makes people all goofy in the head.

I booked Municipal Waste on the first tour to Boston in 2002, they were good.

Baroness are the best band of all time. They should play 2 hour sets.

Not when it means Municipal Waste playing a 1/2 set

bump

bump bump bump

late night bump

should most likely be at this show, but if worse comes to worse I'll talk to Tony from MW and try to open for them their next time around.

fuck, this is going to be a mother fucker.

Less than a week!!

yeah, im definetly getting to this early. last time i didnt even get in.

thats cause last time they had an amazing line up

As far as I know I'll be in Philly on the 11th.

also to not fuck over a great touring band cobra noir should just be added to this show.

4 DAYS!

3 DAYS!

TOMORROW!

Yep, still planning on going.

So good I hope this goes over well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what time is the curfew there? I thought it was 8:30pm? 6 bands in 2 1/2hrs might be a bit much.

I'm going to obriens afterwards.

10pm

Yeah, the last time MW played there it definitely ended well past 8:30.

Apparently, word is that the Cobra Noir show is not going to start until after Municipal Waste show. Go to both!

yep! it'll start around 9:30ish

I'm going to the cobra noir show just to see jonah in a bar.

Bahaha.

9:30 is before Municipal Waste will go on.

I'll be the guy running around in an alocoholic stupor, attempting to avoid head splittage while I simultaneously circle pit and aggravate half the crowd with my nuclear speed thrashing. You've got the beer, I've got the time.

TODAY!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!

Nuclear Winter said:

Matt, I'll have the coke and give you a line.

No doubt about it

hopefully this show doesnt sell out as quickly as the last MW show, im going to be getting there a little late.

I just heard a rumor that this may be cancelled or that something changed??

Anyone know anything?

I wish I could fucking go to this, but I'm so god damned broke it's ridiculous.

I hope a 12-ton slap of concrete falls on everyone.

from an MW bulletin

and then coming over to OBs you dirty hippie

stopped at dunkindonuts.

it's raining! yeah! what could possibly smell worst that a bunch of MW fans? you guessed it, wet MW fans.

leavin my house right now

Leaving work in a few, grabbing some drugs, beer, then to Bobby's then the show...

MW' post saying they were playing second seems to be a rowes that worked. So many people show up early that when I got inside (5 minutes in to DR's set), I was soaked already.

despotic robot: pretty much the same set as the o'briens show, including the closing cover of grim reaper. They were a little more subdued. Probably because of the heat inside that place. at the end, the singer's friends picked him up.

26 beers: best shirt of the night was patmeebles's spazz shirt. No one has topped that. Lots of energy during their set which led to dudes taking of their shirt. I'm pretty sure this is the start of the shirt-less gross-ness. All the kids that were moving around kept yelling for covers. I think the newest "in" thing for these shows should be those fishermen gloves. The ones with grips so when you go in the pit they are mandatory. It keeps you from loosing grip on the sweaty bodies of your friends as they hop on top of the crowd AND protects you from the people's sweat you don't know.

rawradarwar: this band used to be septic youth command. I guess they got older and dropped the youth-ful name. I only saw SYC once, but I remember there being some 70's vocals. There are none in this pallindrome. They mix some punk, some hardcore, and almost power volence. It comes out sounding a bit like today is the day. I sort of expected them not to be many people inside. By the end of their set, there was like 1/3 of the people inside. which was a sizable number of people but no movement. not even during the 2-stepping parts.

bloodstains: ok, I got confused at first cause this band had one of the unseen members in it. Also, the singer used to just sing. well, the guy from the unseen left and the singer picked up his geetar. This was the most punk band playing here. odd... Not many people were inside for them and there was only one time were people started dancing for them. I thought there would have been a lot more.

that shit was off the hizzy.

Awesome show

annihilation time: is that the singer of get killed? Looked like him. But I guess it's not. They had a lot of people in to them so there were tons of people up front singing along. Blue keeps calling them primative trash. I thought they sounded really punk-hardcore. During their set was were the venue went from pretty hot to digusting. All those bodies moving with no ventilatiob was terrible.

just walked in the door.
working on pictures

how was O'Briens afterwards?

pictures will be uploading in a second.

Did I just break this thread?

it was my fault.

Just making sure

RAW RADAR WAR was SICK! It was funny how all the cool Boston scene dudes sat outside while they played cos' most of those dudes in RRW were the old dudes in the scene in 89' when I was 16 and seeing their then bands play and now I am 33 and the same dudes are raging harder than most any Boston band right now.

If you book shows hook these guys up!. Their singer and guitar player have more integrity in their pinky fingers than the majority of the bands that play every DIY show in Boston these days.

And are you serious? Covering DOOM 'Police Bastard'? One of the best punk songs of the late 80's and one of my all time favorites! Raw Radar War fucking rip! I am booking them as soon as possible!

I updated a file and forgot a ,

so many sick pictures

I'm uploading videos from the 26 Beers set.

There are sooooooooo many silly faces in the municipal waste set.

That was the hottest room i have ever been in in my life.

most of those silly faces are coming from former unholy trinity members.

and my own

Craig said:

yeah they are awesome. so was only living witness. i wish i could have made it out yesterday.

craig, if you book them could you put hirudinea on it?

you smelly fuckers

the_reverend said:



dude there have never been any 70s vocals when they were SYC or RWR. And what the heck is 2-stepping. Yes I am old...

Twostepping is the only form of hardcore dancing that could actually be classified as dancing.

the 2-stepping is a common reaction to a specific drum part feel that is actually officially named "2-step"...heavy snare accents on 2's and 4's...you'd know if it you heard it.

Honestly, the most obvious example in popular music is in the song "Two Step" by Dave Matthews Band

and yeah...as far as the dance goes...I dunno, there are only 2 steps to it...choose them for yourself

Craig said:

But dude, RRW aren't sick nu-thrash man! They don't fit the "I'm 17 and have a denim vest with Sodom backpatches" mold, so it's no surprise that only a tiny portion of the crowd even watched 'em. Too bad those dudes are my peeps and were actually AT all of the original boston thrash shows back when you didn't have to buy those bands' backpatches at Hot Topic. Fucking sheople are lame. Nu-thrash is even lamer. Nostalgia without recognizing integrity is the lamest of all. RRW are fucking balls out better than most of the speed metal tribute acts that are all the rage these days.

Thanks Viking!

RRW is awesome. When I saw them they covered Jerry's Kids. Awesome guys, too.

I'm the CEO

How can you bitch about "nu-thrash"? I'm sorry not all of us had the opportunity to see the "original boston thrash shows." These days seeing a band like Municipal Waste is about as close as we can get to living the glory days...certainly they come closer than the "legendary" old bands, if you ask me seeing Slayer or Exodus these days is much more like "nostalgia without integrity."

(This isn't saying anything about RRW, I am guilty of missing them because I had to eat something, maybe next time)

I think the point is, do what I do, if you are at a show, see all the bands.
you paid $10 for something, get your money's worth. Otherwise, you will miss great bands.
plus, waiting out in a parking lot isn't very punk. heavey metal is the only music that is allowed to be in a parking lot.

Of course it's punk, where else are you supposed to puke up your 40?

RichHorror said:

On the person in front of you INSIDE, IN FRONT OF THE STAGE!

the_reverend said:

Oh Rev, always the voice of reason. This is pretty much what I'm saying. Someday kids will be wearing RRW back patches and the people who actually watched them back when they were doing gigs will think it's silly too.

Dar said:

Why try to relive the glory days in the first place? What about creating new glory days? No harm meant man, you're taking what I said personally. I call it nu-thrash, well sorry, because it kinda is. I agree too, by the way, about the legendary bands that only have like 1 original member and haven't put anything new out in years. That's also trying to relive the past, cashing in on the new fans who order their reissue t-shirts and patches from a mail order catalogue. I was just frustrated because it could've been a full house for RRW, but because the kiddies outside hadn't heard a buzz about 'em nor did they realize that the band is made up of absolute Boston metal scene veterans who deserve tons of respect, they didn't bother to pay attention. Take my word for it; the RRW dudes all personally helped carve the mold for the scene here that those kids who were too occupied to listen are fully enjoying.

I didn't say relive, I said live...it's the first time for us :P
Anyway, we're both right. I didn't really mean to "argue" with you so much as present the perspective of the "17 year old kid with a sodom patch" (i'm not, but close enough)

now due to your promotion, I know the RRW name and I'll try to hear 'em next time

ichabod said:

That place smells bad enough during a show. If someone added to the odor by puking, I'd break their neck.

Nobody was ragging on you for being too young and not being there in the 80's. They're ragging on you because you lacked the common decency to show respect to the older generation that paved the way.

And by respect, I mean watching their set.

PatMeebles said:

Well put. I remember seeing PTL Klub at TT the bears when I was like 15, thinking "who the fuck are these old men?!?!"...they were openers for someone younger, I can't recall who right now. Anyway, we watched their whole set regardless of thinking it was weird to see 40ish men playing punk-core. Guess what? By the end of their set, or after, there we were buying 7 inches and t-shirts! By looking beyond the superficialities, we found a "new" band to really dig, guys who had like you said, paved the way.

...and don't even get me started on the time we went to see the Cockney Rejects!!!!! We could have camped out in the canyons that those dudes had as wrinkles!!!!!!

Once again, videos are up on my youtube account.

Well, ok...I guess I just don't think it's about common decency or respect.
For all I knew, RRW could be a badass thrash band or they could be some horrible pop punk band that got on the bill cuz the singer is Dave Witte's little sisters boyfriendd or something. And I opted not to stand around in that really unpleasant room to take the chance.
I don't keep saying "I" because I'm taking this personally btw, it's because I think my experience is probably indicative of a lot of the kids there. I'm just trying to say that I don't think the reason people went outside for the opening bands is some "god damn young whippersnappers with no respect" attitude, it's a lack of promotion and a disgustingly hot venue.

PTL Klub are fucking awesome. 26 Beers kicked my ass too. Sick drumming, riffs and vocals. Gotta play with those dudes again.

thanks for talking about all of this stuff...no biggie if people missed our set. We'll play again.

It was hwat as a fricking bastid in there, that's for sure. Not for that reason alone, I'm happy nobody puked inside, never mind on me.

Um, it was so loud that the parking lot sounded like someone was blasting a car stereo. There was no excuse for not knowing what the genre was.

er, instead I should say, I was happy that the puke was kept in the bathroom, because that counts as "inside."

Haha, that's a decent point. I went to get a falafel, so that's my excuse. Next time dudes!!

...and I think they reason people may have thought had "70s vocals" was because we played a cover of GG's "No Rules"

gg allin was the greatest rocker of the seventies. especially "stairway to heaven" or "smoke on the water"

totally. GG was the Peter Frampton of poop.

someone totally puked in the bathroom at the show. as if it being 300 degrees wasnt bad enough

and there was shit, lots and los of shit...
