| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2006 7:29pm - the_reverend ""] Overcast The Acacia Strain (record release) Since The Flood / Frozen upstairs at The Palladium in Worcester, MA on Thursday June 8 |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2006 10:02pm - the_reverend ""] frozen: I got in there in the last minute to catch 2 of their songs. The crowd was pretty much just stand around for them. They covered jump at the end again. And by covered, I mean, they wrote in 1984 on their world wind tour of amsterdam. I think matt lacasse was in the band then. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2006 10:07pm - the_reverend ""] since the flood: they played a lot of new songs. I've only heard like 2 of them before. The crowd still moved for them, but after 4 years of mostly the same songs, they need to have the new CD in their hands before they go off for the new ones. They was something up with the mix in there (or it could have been the cab dave was using), but after the first song, you could barely hear the guitars for 1-2 songs. with out the high-end of the guitars, one of the parts I heard for a second sound like rage against the mchine. one thing about the new tracks is that the drumming is so much heavier. Luke sounds lke he's gong to destroy those drums. Most of The guitars in the new ones sound better written and there is even some crowbar flavor thrown in there. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 8,2006 10:31pm - Kevord ""] Matts been every band in Massachusetts |
| ______________________________ [Jun 8,2006 10:40pm - blue ""] id go, but cabot st satisfied me enough that i can wait for the 3rd reunion in 4 years. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 1:22am - the_reverend ""] pictures iploading |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 1:23am - ltdec-1000 ""] iploading is fun. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 1:28am - the_reverend ""] my pictures are terrible. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 1:41am - ltdec-1000 ""] lots of OOPS missing image going on. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 1:50am - ltdec-1000 ""] how was the acacia strain? |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 2:06am - sacreligion ""] damn...a lot of people went to this huh? i was gonna go but said fuck it because the sac has too many plans to be spending money on other people i don't know what's funnier about this picture, the abundant amount of youngins up front, the kid in the college t-shirt, brian's ridiculous dreads, or the blonde chick with the even more ridiculous look on her face [img] |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 2:11am - LtdEc-1000 ""] She looks scared and turned on at the same time. And the guy to the right of brian looks like hes going to mount the monitor. The one next to him looks like he wants to eat it. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:08am - GoatOfCatalyst ""] my time machine was dialed directly to 1996 - thanks to jay fitz, duncan and jay for facilitating this. SNEAKY JOE IS IMMORTAL goodtimes. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 9,2006 5:50am - Kevord ""] Is there anyone over the age of 18 in the front row? Man I feel old. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 6:06am - sacreligion ""] haha the brunette next to the blonde is afraid she's gonna get a dread to the face and/or mouth |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 8:30am - Josh_hates_you ""] yeah it looks like most of the crowd never heard of or saw overcast until this reunion. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 9,2006 8:40am - xmikex ""] Overcast can lick my grundle. I had the best time in Saugus. Disco Paul crowd punched a framed picture of George Bush, there was blood all over the floor by the end of our set, and everyone had fun. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 8:56am - the_reverend ""] i'm glad to hear that. first, disco paul needs to go out to more shows. and last, that you guys are getting people into your music and not just wallflowers. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:04am - OldSchool ""] yikes was everyone there like preteen!? i don't get this. i saw a girl at the mall putting make up on with her friends and she was wearing an overcast shirt and that made me very sad for some reason. i know i am old but i still have my bleed into one 7" hand numbered record (well its cracked now) from 1992. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:39am - sacreligion ""] it depends on how you look at it i guess...maybe these kids will get into overcast and learn their history and understand how great local music is and maybe they'll even develop a true interest in it |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:39am - the_reverend ""] I'm a poser and didn't get into overcast until like 1996-97. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:40am - sacreligion ""] dude i wasn't even into music until 96-97 |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:58am - sacreligion ""] oh yeah i forgot to mention that it's all about after the frain |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:25pm - the_reverend ""] acacia strain, the: ok, I figured out what it was! on stage left, all you could heard was stage left guitar and drums. Stage right was all bass, one guitar, and vocals. anyhow, I saw some of the slowest stage dives in my life. It was like the scene from austin powers with the slow zamboni.this was their CD release show so they played mostly new songs. People yelled out tracks from the first CD, but the don't know how to play those any more. at the end, the crowd yelled and yelled for one more song and scott lee clicked the lights out to let them do it. Destroyer or something like that. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:27pm - sacreligion ""] OoOoO scott lee gettin paid the big bucks to throw lightswitch raves |
| __________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:28pm - pam nli ""] someday people will admit that Overcast sucks. |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:38pm - sacreligion ""] dude...don't fuck with the delirious guy from worcester don't make me post the statue of the guy raping the turtle from downtown |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:39pm - sacreligion ""] [img] that's right |
| __________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:42pm - pam nli ""] Worcester is disgusting. Quincy has character. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:42pm - sacreligion ""] yeah quincy doesn't have a statue of a dude raping a turtle though all they have is crackheads raping walls |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:42pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] the_reverend said:I'm sorry, you are from new bedford so I couldn't hear your opinion over the three guitars playing something melodic. Wow....zinger. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:44pm - pam nli ""] It would be if I were from New Bedford. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:44pm - the_reverend ""] pam: so, I'm from NH and I don't like scissorfight. when you married into new bedford, you married into it all. the extra chromasomes, the sposel abuse, and 3 guys playing something melodic. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:45pm - sacreligion ""] not enough attention is being paid to the statue of the man raping the turtle |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 12:45pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] pam nli said:It would be if I were from New Bedford. Ooops, I didn't mean zinger against you, gal, I meant against Beyond the Embrace. |

Disco Paul crowd punched a framed picture of George Bush, there was blood all over the floor by the end of our set, and everyone had fun. Fuck, I KNEW I went to the wrong show! That must have been SOOOOO much more worthwhile. (PS - your statement was so retarded, I almost contemplated informing the secret cervix of your friend's freedom-hating activities) |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:11pm - GoatOfCatalyst ""] I just realized that you won't even be around to retort to my statement - you're probably too busy mourning your buddy Zarqawi, you dirty Shiite Moslem!!! |
| _______________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:37pm - Colin ""] Matt Lacasse was never in Frozen. You are confusing Frozen with TYOOL. In fact, all ex-Frozen members never played in other bands and no longer play music and don't really do anything with their lives. With the exception of Adam Grinovich, who still sings for Life In Vain. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:38pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Hah Rev, I was right!!!! Take that, Bainbridge Scholars! |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:39pm - RichHorror ""] The "3 guys playing something melodic" thing is classic. Kudos. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:41pm - RichHorror ""] Oh yeah, Overcast sucks. Pretty much every band from New Bedford sucks, also. You both win and lose. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:44pm - RichHorror ""] And as an aside... Pam, you were born in Quincy, but chose to live in New Bedford. You lose. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 3:54pm - sacreligion ""] worcester wins! |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 9,2006 9:12pm - the_reverend ""] Overcast: blue, I know how you feel with that comment. I've seen them now 4 or 5 time post breakup and I wasn't overly excited to see them again. It's still odd to me that a band I really liked 10 years ago has spawned most of the mega-million dollar industry of massachusetts metalcore. It's both cool and odd that they can cash in on this. With that said, the first note (the average age in the crowd dropped 10 years) they hit floored me. Like the last few times I've seen them. Hell, I thought I would just shoot a couple songs and then would charge out, but I ended up staying for the whole time. as for the music they played, I think it was the same exact set as they always play. I really can't say much more. Kids moshed. There was some really slow stage diving and that was it. Hopefully, the kids in the front row will o out and by the orange cd. I forget what it's called, but that is my fav. |
