Gunface bought something cheap and had guitar issues. Finally, they got underway. These recent string of shows they've done smack of 2002 when they themselves could do shows like this in small halls. Their set was nothing short of vocal-less at the end. It seems like the mic couldn't take it. People surged forward over and over, knocking into the drums, the guitar, but oddly, never hitting the bass. The end of their set should always be the end of a show.. But as the bodies from the "dreaming in dogyears" pile up cleared the stage, the realization that there was another band set in. converge: what year is this? It feels like the 90's when converge could play clubs like this. Amazing that they tour in huge places, in front of barricades and then in the end, come home to roost in their roots. Small shows like this are the key to the energy that can keep a band on the road, touring and playing after 15 years. They played mostly things off jane doe, you fail me, and no heroes, but tossed in locust reign and one other older track. I can't blame them for not wanting to play songs from 10+ years ago. Like I said before, is their anything that you did 10+ years ago that you still like? If you answered "yes".. please stop talking to your computer and continue watching king of the hill because you, my friend, are hank hill. People continued to surge around, but more fevered than during the red chord. The crowd constantly rolled forward and knocked into the drums and pulled the mic back into them. I don't think jake kept his hands on that mic for more than seconds at a time. It would be gome and he would tug at the string like a yo-yo to bring it back from the crowd. By the end, he had given up and just screamed into people's faces without the mic. During their set, jacob said their would be no encore and their wasn't, but that's what punkrock is. it's amazing that more people don't come out to these shows. just my humble opinion.. |
