A NIGHT WITH: FIASCO, SLASHER RISK, CHAOS MAJIK, GRASSHOPPER, POWER ANIMAL, AND EFFING

AFTER FRANTICALLY SEARCHING MY BAG PRE-SHOW FOR THE TWIX BAR I JUST BOUGHT, I WAS ABLE TO SATISFY MY SWEET TOOTH AND ENJOY THE SHOW. AWESOME! I LOVE EFFING, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, THEY'RE NOT ONLY REALLY COOL GUYS WHO GET THEIR PERIODS LIKE THE REST OF US, THEY'RE ALSO VERSATILE AND TALENTED MUSICIANS. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME SEEING POWER ANIMAL (FROM PHILLY, WHO HAD A CRAP LOAD OF PEOPLE ON STAGE ALONG WITH NEAT MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS) AND THOUGH VERY TWEE, I REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT WAS A FIRST FOR GRASSHOPPER (JOSH AND JESSIE) WHO MAKE NICELY CRAFTED NOISE AND LIKE TO BLOW INTO TRUMPETS AND WHATNOT AND CHAOS MAJIK (TODD PENDU) WHO RUNS THE NEW YORK EYE AND EAR FESTIVAL WHO PLAYED LOUD ABRASIVE NOISE THAT PIERCED RIGHT THROUGH THE MAKESHIFT EAR PLUGS I HAD ON. THE GREATEST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT WAS SLASHER RISK WHO TOTALLY RULED IT ON STAGE DOING THINGS I WISH MOST BANDS WOULD DO LIKE PLAY GUITAR ON GUITAR AND SCREAM LIKE A MADMAN AT THE AUDIENCE. (THAT WAS REALLY FRIGHTENING) AND LASTLY, I'VE SEEN FIASCO A BUNCH OF TIMES, BUT THIS SHOW WAS SPECIAL IN THAT THEY DEDICATED IT TO THEIR LATE ENGLISH TEACHER, WHO APPARENTLY LOOKED LIKE SANTA CLAUS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS CLUCKY OLD CAMERA I'M USING SUCKS BALLS, BUT OH WELL, SHOULDA BEEN THERE.
