Yeah, missed it. I work at The Weather Network so to say we were busy yesterday would be an understatement...arewhyehen wrote:Damn, so you missed the show?

There was no way I could take it off and go to the show. Just wasn't meant to be. Bummed.
youre too far back lol7th_son wrote:
Yes yes! I went to their first show of the tour in Hamilton and they played 4 or 5 new songs and they are all pretty good. They are just on the road to test the new material...will be awhile before anything drops officially i think. Then we can hope for a big tour. Next time I am taking my RSD album to get them to sign ithxcoliver wrote:hahah i concur. why aren't you on the floor??
the 2 new songs i've heard sound awesome! much like they're other stuff, but more intense.
god damn, i want them to tour the US soon!!!
haha, this show was at a "new" venue in Halifax and it wasn't the greatest as the stage was too low, so we checked out this balcony that circled the floor and it was decent. Wasn't interested in being up front for this one and good thing, roughest and largest mosh pit I have ever seen, not my bag.arewhyehen wrote:youre too far back lol7th_son wrote:
The crowd was really insane at the show I went to as well. I was on the rail, front and center and was crushed the entire show. I couldn't move and when I left, my back was completely soaked in sweat.....but not mine. It was all fromt people moshing behind me and hitting me and soaking my back...pretty gross..hah7th_son wrote:haha, this show was at a "new" venue in Halifax and it wasn't the greatest as the stage was too low, so we checked out this balcony that circled the floor and it was decent.

I was quite impressed with the openers, PS I Love You, the big dude can play, and they hail from my home town. He was also nice enough to sign my record after selling it to me at the merch table later.
yeah that's what i figured they were doing. just a testing grounds for the new stuff. i'm so so excited for them to release a new album. they're one of my top favorite bands. haha oh that would be incrediblearewhyehen wrote:Yes yes!

Boy, does that sound familiar for some reason....arewhyehen wrote:They were really good I thought for the first 4 or 5 songs and he kept saying how quiet the crowd was and then i could see the performance take a dive after that and the rest of the set suffered.

^^
so how did you like the show? they seem to be in better spirits, like they don't hate each other anymore.
Just the t-shirt from DFA. I guess without a new album it's tough to roll out much of a merch selection. PSILY had a bunch of stuff and merch was moving fairly steady I'd say, been spinning their latest album all day, it's catchy.arewhyehen wrote:The crowd was really insane at the show I went to as well.

As far as the opening band. PS I Love You was not too bad. They were really good I thought for the first 4 or 5 songs and he kept saying how quiet the crowd was and then i could see the performance take a dive after that and the rest of the set suffered. The big guy can definitely play VERY well though. I was really impressed. I hope they got a little more action at their merch table. I didn't see anyone get anything from them after my show. I felt really bad.
Did DFA have any merch? They only had one black shirt with their logo for my show. Didn't even have my size left..
