anti-flag
Oh my god…Anti-Flag was un-fucking-believable. I don’t even know what to say…I don’t think I had any real thoughts prior to getting to the show. The show was on Friday night, but on Thursday night I suddenly got the flu and a horrible sore throat. I went to work in the morning but left early because I was so sick. I was dizzy driving back home and stopped at the doctor’s first. She looked at my throat and looked at my records and said “You ALWAYS get sore throats. You sure you don’t smoke?” hahahaha – I was like no I do not smoke and have never smoked. She gave me some medicine and I was home by 11:30am and slept until 8pm!!! The show started at 8pm by the way…
I finally dragged myself off the couch but I decided that if I was going to play this show then I’m going to use this opportunity to sweat everything out – so I wore:
1. t-shirt
2. long sleeve shirt
3. flannel long sleeve
4. hooded sweaterI wore ALL these things on stage!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHA…but it was awesome – as soon as we got on stage I just felt great. The reason I felt great though was because of the audience – everyone in the audience was just completely ready to go fucking NUTS. It was amazing…there were only 270 people at the show, but THIS show was more fun to play then our album release show which had over 400 people. So again, the point we’ve mentioned many times before, it doesn’t matter HOW many people are at the show, it matters what kind of people are at the show. Last night’s show was full of people who were there to have a good time and go crazy…right away I forgot I was even sick and screamed my ass off. And also – we DID NOT PLAY REFUSE!!! YESSSSSS!!! THANK FUCKING GOD!!!!!
While we were playing all the Anti-Flag guys came by the stage and watched us play…we have played with some HUGE punk rock bands (Bouncing Souls and NOFX) and none of these band members have stood and watched us play. Not only that, but when we got off stage Anti-Flag came by and introduced themselves to us. I couldn’t believe it – such a HUGE punk rock band and they were coming by to introduce themselves to us…unbelievable. I have always loved Anti-Flag but after this, I am a supporter for LIFE. What a great band…great bunch of guys…and they’re humble as fuck – that’s all that matters!
Great band…all I want to do today is listen to their records all day long! Their new album’s coming out in March and you fucking BET that I’ll be ordering this thing online!
Peace,
