The ceiling was coming down all over from the bass.<br />I thought it was kinda funny till it got on my camera and my fitted. <br />It's too bad it had to start at 3pm.<br />Probably a noise issue.<br />This was a damn good show overall.<br />Heavy, mathy, violent, loud.<br />Disassociate fucking made me bleed out of my eyeballs,<br />the one with the intimidating front man. (Actually a cool dude)<br />Defeatist was also amazing.<br />Triac was technically perfect and mathy as fuck, I don't know how people remember that shit and they had an evil, metal fucking sound.<br />But I like some semblance of a breakdown at times, and they were relentless. <br />Maybe I'm a pussy. <br />I'm not used to such open display of unregulated performance.<br />The cops don't like that in Boston. <br />I prefer when it's more like a party, and less like a straight up show.<br />However, the place is falling apart and the city is threatening to take it from them unless they raise enough money to completely demolish it and start anew following health and fire codes. so... just throwin that out there.<br /> biggerbetter= <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/28318563@N04/sets/72157609275694904/">HERE</a>lo-lyfe-sitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08033392251453028259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560663864863621935.post-77982068306716249912008-10-07T15:17:00.000-07:002008-10-07T15:47:26.021-07:00Silent Barn: Screaming Females, Neptune, These Are Powers<iframe align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?set_id=72157607827562374&" frameBorder="0" width="500" scrolling="no" height="500"></iframe><br />I'm back, and in NY<br />Got a little belligerently drunk at this one,<br />a mistake I'll try not to make again, no promises.<br />sorry bassist from There Will Be Powers<br />Silent Barn is what it seems<br />a Brooklyn housed DIY space that could swallow practically anything achieved in Boston,<br />It's a different feeling than the Bean, more people less sense of community so far, and the line between DIY and standard venue seems to be blurred.<br />The Brooklyn hipster is a different breed and will take getting used to as the norm.<br />A sea of mustaches that know a lot and want you to know they know a lot.<br />However, the music is exceptional.<br />Screaming Females, Neptune, and These Are Powers kicked ass.<br />Missed Marnie Stern.
