It's the weekend again, and we are going to see a punk show at 11/20.
Its just me and Linas, the girl from the last weekend isn't coming along...and i don't ask why.
The first band is from Poland and they have their rock faces on for sure. The girl who is singing is at times angered and amused either by her own lyrics or the crowd itself.
Either way she has some serious pipes.
Before the show even starts there is a guy who has already had too much to drink. he is pounding the front of the stage while the band is setting up. At one point he looses his control enough to grab the singer, and pick her up over his head in a bear hug-like grip. She pushes his face back trying to get loose. "No means no!" she shouts. It works. Later the guy is dragged out by the volunteer security for this homegrown venue. He does manage to get back in and is forcibly removed several more times.
After this little melodrama the singer starts the show by telling us "as a little girl we were taught to be pleasant, to be [acquiescent], but that's bullshit."
...Let the punk rock begin.
Tragedy is from Oregon, they are brutal. The crowd packs in even tighter than before now that its time for the headliner. The band rips through song after song without stopping to talk, breath, or even drink that much.
The crowd eats it up. The place explodes into mosh pits, and crowd surfing. I thought you needed hundreds of people to crowd surf with any real effectiveness. I was wrong.
You can see all the show's photos here (http://photo.qip.ru/users/gooyuyu/96587837/all/?mode=large)
Linas tells me you can see me holding up one of the crowd surfers in one of the photos, I haven't found it yet. Where's waldo?
