Everytime i've been to club Lido it's been to grind up against some hot lil latina.... and once or twice to dance with glowsticks and snort drugs... this will be a nice change.

Heard Magrudergrind canceled cause they didn't want anything to do with Panzerbastard or their evil record label.
Heard they were racist and scumbags, anyone got any bumps.

I heard Magrudergrind cancelled too...i hope it wasnt because of us but if it was, I say this: HA! HA!
Like the shirt I ordered from them back in November, Magrudergrind fails to deliver
Yea I ordered the Crusher EP months ago and never got it
Whatever, still a huge fan
I got mine last saturday, after 2 months and no e-mail response. Still a big fan of this band regardless. The ep kicks ass.

I'm with Rusty and Jannsen still haven't gotten mine yet and I ordered a shirt along with it. No email response and from what I've been told it's pretty awesome since it's not just a record you're getting.
At this point I think it makes as much sense to pay at the door, I'm planning to do that.

I suppose you're right. But I do live practically next to Armageddon, so if it saves me money I don't mind walking down the street tomorrow to get a ticket.
Fas death was here way late. I took pictures but didn't pay attention.
Full blown aids was pretty dang good. Sort of more like EHG with out the southern-feel. Seth is much better playing guitar and screaming in this band, compared to anal cunt.
Livver was drunk. Robin jumped many mike's hard lemonades into the drunk tank early. This made their set sloppy, but still hilarious. Then robin somehow got the microphone... bad idea jeans.
Wow, panzerbastard's set was so good. From mik mccarthy stage diving non-stop to xgx pulldiing the venue floor during the last minutes of the last song. Definitely the biggest crowd I've seen them play in front of.

Had to leave before EHG, but I have some great video of a kid who was jocking Misery Index so hard I shot iso-cam on him for a few songs. I have to take a look at the videos later but it looks quite promising for /r/
Am I the only one who thought the sound guy was working with his head up his ass the whole night? Too big for their own good places like Lido always kill me because the band does 99% of the work soundwise and all they have to do is make it loud enough for people to enjoy and they can't even do that. If a vocal mic is low... bring it up. You've got a 36 channel mixer in front of you. Even if you have a stroke and fall on the board you've got a minimal shot of bringing up the right channel.
And all sound guys out there, I've said this before and I'll say it again, not everything is Jersey Shore club night. There are tonal ranges in people's voices and in instruments. I want to hear them. Turning up the bass on everything and then walking away doing a Chief Wiggum handwipe only cements you as a 3rd rate venue sound guy for the rest of your life.
In between complaints I saw good sets from Panzerbastard, EHG and Livver who was the drunkest I've ever seen them.
Misery Index sucks and will always be watered down Dying Fetus played by pussy posers.
xmikex, completely agree about the sound....dude didn't have a clue

This show was way the hell out in Revere, which on a Sunday in February is like the middle of nowhere, but the train drops you off right in the parking lot so at least it’s got that going for it. Club Lido was so dark that at first I thought they forgot to pay their electric bill but soon my eyes adjusted and I was able to make my way to the back bar and begin to grease the wheels of metal. Pretty big place, probably holds close to a thousand people, although this show did not sell out. Good crowd though, just not a sell-out.
Fast Death went on first, an hour late, and proceeded to…I don’t really know. The sound was so atrocious that I couldn’t make out what the hell they were doing. I think it was some kind of thrash metal, maybe? I could see a guitar player up there, but I couldn’t really hear him over the insanely loud drumming. My guess was that whoever was running the soundboard had just woken up, turned on the PA and had the band start playing without checking any levels or even if the mics were plugged in, that’s really the only explanation. Truly horrendous sound. Fortunately, it improved for the rest of the bands. Sorry, Fast Death. Maybe next time.
Full Blown AIDS were next and proceeded to play some of the most downtrodden and oppressive doom there is. It’s not even doom, it goes beyond doom. Seth Putnam plays guitar like he’s trying to kill it, to physically dismantle it until there is nothing left but shards of wood and small pieces of metal. It sounds completely wrong, but it gets their point across so well, which is “fuck off, go die, we hate being here, where are the drugs”. Definitely a change of pace from A.C., the songs of Full Blown AIDS are much longer and slower, sometimes barely crawling along before being put out of their misery. Great set.
PanzerBastard kind of sound like all of the good bands and none of the bad ones. You know what I mean. Celtic Frost, Motorhead, Venom, Discharge=good. You figure out the rest. Head bastard Keith Bennett got the masses riled up and led the charge, and they didn’t let up for a minute. They have a new EP out called “Centurion” which I highly recommend checking out. Goddamn.
Livver followed and played their version of music, which in this case is like AmRep scumrock mixed with angry hardcore a la Deadguy. Good set. They definitely mean it, that’s for sure, you can tell by the way the veins on the singer’s head bulge out . Simultaneously tight and messy, Livver are a band to keep an eye on.
Misery Index were up next. I gotta admit I don’t know too much about these dudes, although I have heard them before. They’re on Relapse and basically sound like it. A little grind mixed in with death metal and some groove with duelling lead vocalists. They were energetic and definitely pro, and the crowd dug ‘em. Just not really my cuppa tea.
Ah yes. Eyehategod. The granddaddies of Southern sludge. After repeated attempts to have one of the spotlights turned off, with Mike Williams proclaiming that they would not play until the light was indeed turned off, Mr. Bower took matters into his own hands by taking a mic stand and simply pointing the light up to the ceiling. Take that, incompetent light guy! And then the feedback, the feedback that only sounds like Eyehategod feedback. And then, my friends, the sludge. A giant wave of it broke over the crowd and we all bathed in it, wallowing in the filth and the groove which only Eyehategod can provide. Yes, it’s true. No band sounds like them. Many try to, but none do. As I was watching this glorious spectacle, I realized just how many truly great riffs these dudes have. As in, you could put their riffs up against the best riffs of Sabbath, Zeppelin, Kyuss, anyone you can think of, and Eyehategod would hold their own, sometimes even besting the masters. Lots of old stuff was played, as well as brand new material (which sounded great) and there was tons of stagediving and the pit got pretty big a few times, everyone celebrating the ugliness of the world with Eyehategod providing the soundtrack. Truly epic. They sounded great, maybe better than any other time I’ve seen ‘em, and they showed why they are held in such high regard by people who like their riffs caked in dirt.
I ducked out of the way when he stage dove during Panzerbastard's set. Then realized it was kind of a dick move when I saw him land on his head. And most of the people behind me laughed so it was ok.
Enthused Misery Index guy was sitting next to me on the bench between bands. I think he was only there for them. He was doing a lot of air drumming.
I went to post the video of him on Misery Index's facebook page and he was the latest comment on their wall, his profile picture was of him and the members of misery index.
I tried to watch through those EHG videos for us whipping beers at those geeks on stage or for when i run across and 'remove' like I'm Lido Security but I didnt see it :(
