I'm going to see about visiting the stressfactor before the show ATTENTION ANYONE DRIVING TO THIS SHOW listen to 91.5FM from 6pm to 9pm. I also think we should have that show playing as music if there is music between bands. We got played on Stress Factor 2 weeks ago...pretty awesome. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:54pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] HEY AARON That "east campus" bullshit is just new terminology it's literally like 2 blocks away, if that. You just cross the bridge and it's in the basement of the library I used to live at Fox Hall and do a show at WUML, it's super close, trust me. 5 Minute walk. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:55pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] actually, maybe even less than 5 minutes |

| _____________________________________ [May 3,2007 6:22pm - the_reverend ""] there is no giant dong parking. I'm so confused and there is no parking! |
| _____________________________________ [May 3,2007 7:02pm - the_reverend ""] ok, I said a prayer to the god of no tickets and went inside. it's like a community theatre room. I'm hoping for puppet shows in between the bands' set. |
| _____________________________________ [May 3,2007 10:41pm - xanonymousx ""] kinda wish car troubles weren't a factor i would have been there. |
| ______________________________________ [May 3,2007 10:50pm - the_reverend ""] the show, in short and reverse order. network, the: scott was in the hspital taking care of his little lady so 2 dudes from gaza did most of the vocals. Granted, they aren't scott and weren't able to stand up to pete's screaming like scott can, but they did a good job. Between the 2 of them, they knew most of the vocal rhythms. The last 2 songs had a bunch of people step up on the mic. Including steveotb and immortal13. gaza: my 3rd time seeing them in 5 days? Still awesome. They had the best sound of all the bands (besides the kick drum mic that was cut out for 1/2 a song). After the stage/sound from zack last night, the sound here wasn't on par. But that's ok. It's still gaza. Porphyria: the sound was messed up for them. On blue's side, I only heard tom. On tom's side I only heard blue. Once they turned it up it was better (especially the bass) but there was a little bit too much low end in that system. BMR was there rocking out for them and all that stuff. the_taste_of_silver: they played with almost no crowd interaction what so ever. I guess people in lowell just rock that way. TTOS still played as good as they always do. Somehow, even though they write 800 songs and 800 messages, I always know most of the songs that they play. |

| __________________________________ [May 3,2007 11:40pm - SteveOTB ""] Good show; myself singing with The_Network was ridiculous. |
| ______________________________________ [May 3,2007 11:48pm - the_reverend ""] alex: did I drop dsome money or something? |
| _____________________________________ [May 4,2007 1:04am - the_reverend ""] pictures |
| ________________________________ [May 4,2007 3:14am - Adam_is ""] i had a really good time at the show tonight. kinda sucks that there weren't more people but what can you do. gaza fucking rocked my ass. ttos never lets me down. all the bands were wicked nice. |
| _________________________________ [May 4,2007 8:13am - brian_dc ""] now to give more than a "good times" response. Was nice to see the bros from Porphyria and TTOS again. Blue looks like a bearded lady now and is playing through an old Fender head that has more gain than anything they have on the market these days. Sounds like it has potential. TTOS were great as usual, even though there was not crowd participation they gave it their all and Nicholas proceeded to ruin is guitar a little. Porphyria was a bit sloppier than I;ve seen them before, but even in that case they're tighter than most bands on the local circuit. Gaza sounded huge. It seems like every other band had a bit of a hard time filling out the room (though TTOS sounded bigger than usual because of the WOBO). Gaza must tune down to -Zflat or something, every note snapped back from some higher note to a lower note due to string wobbliness. I'm usually not down with that because it's a little gimmicky, but they've created a really dark vibe and great stage presence around that vibe. At times these guys would fit right in on a doom and grind fest (and I'm not being an ignorant fuck about grind, I know the difference), other times they sound like a tech-ier coalesce tuned down to death. It's a good thing. The_Network was ridiculous. Guest vocals and loudness. I wish they had set up on the floor. SLOWEST.ELEVATOR.EVER. |
| _________________________________ [May 4,2007 8:15am - brian_dc ""] also, I wasn't there, but OTEP was terrible. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 4,2007 9:25am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] [img] CAPTION: All these 18 yr old girls, but I only got one dick!!! or CAPTION: God, I hope someone in The_Network bends over to pick up that mic cable... |
| _____________________________________ [May 4,2007 9:29am - the_reverend ""] from behind, blue looks like your mom's middle aged friend who always bitches about her husband and you don't really like her all that much. |
| _____________________________________________ [May 4,2007 10:55am - the_network_booking ""] hahahah, A HUGE thanks goes out to everyone that stepped it up and helped out with vocal duties while Scott had to take care of some urgent matters. This was a very unique show for us...GAZA filling in and then open mic for the last few songs....a sincere thanks to everyone that grabbed the mic and sang there hearts out... This was such a good show...Porphyria, TTOS and us have been playing shows together for a long time now and all have become good friends over the years...it was good to all play the same show and just hang out with bud's, add GAZA and you've got a reaction much like the pic of blue above... |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2007 2:27pm - xanonymousx ""] damn kinda looks like a low turnout from the pictures sure it was great though. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 4,2007 7:18pm - jim_is_to_lazy_to_login ""] the_network is blowing up seriously these dudes rule |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2007 9:08pm - jebus_crispex ""] Great fuckin show, too bad I had to bail after Gaza. Thanks for puttin my long ass hair on RTTP lol. I couldn't just stand there during Frailities of Humanity and not thrash, it felt unnatural. |
| __________________________________ [May 5,2007 11:48am - Foghorn ""] I only made it down to see the end of TTOS set and the beginning of Porphyria. I wish I could have stayed for the rest of the show. But, I did promo the hell out of the show on the Stress Factor and played some tracks from each band. I hope to see the bands I missed sometime soon. |
