I just returned from lancerfest, and boy am I happy. That was one of the best musical experiences of my life. Sloan absolutely ruled. Patrick had long hair, An' I didn't reckognize him at first. Halfway through the show chris got really pissed off at this one skinhaed mosh crowdsurf genarally be an asshole type guy. it was neat. During underwhelmed, he handed his bass to a member of the audience, and jay gave him an impromptu bass lesson while chris cavorted around the stage, eventually making his way back to the "new" bassist and "Grind" (U.s. MTV hip hop dance show) dancing avec him. They came out for an encore and played 25 alright. They played amped and laying blame also. It was so spiffy I could hardly contain myself. By the way, this event was em-ceed by the most annoying people on the face of this earth. Aaany-way, The superfriendz were Okay, but were plagued by bad sound. throughout their entire set, they were making hand gestures at the sound guys trying to get it right. The killjoys were very good, very tight. Their drummer has got to be the best drummer on the planet at this moment. The surprise of the night for me was by far king kool flipped. I enjoyed them alot. They have got some great material. They've got this one song "Blondie Zombie" which is that one blondie song w/ the high pitched vocals (I know, that *really* narrows it down), and A white zombie song spliced together. Another highlight was their a-team song, which started out as a take off on queen's another one bites the dust, then rocks out times fifty zillion. Oh yeah, sloan played rockin' versions of before I do and bells on. The dissapointment of the night for me was Juliana Hatfield. I dunno why, but she just didn't hold my attention. The only thing she did that held my attention is rip off this thing I do when we play, the starwars medly, (the main theme, and the imperial theme arranged repititiously thruoghout a song). Any way, the back stage arrangement sucked, to get back you needed passes *and* orange armbands, which noone had. We secured passes though. One of us finally found an entrance where the person didn't know about the orange armband. And got to get a buncha stuff signed by jay an' patrick but chris an' andrew were nowhere to be found. It ruled. adios................................... |||| ./\. |||| |||| _|\||||/|_ |||| |||| \||||||||/ |||| |||| >||||||< |||| |||| || ||||
