defcon4: I'm still not sure what I witnessed. they had a ton of drunk older punx there. sort of a different crowd. I came down stairs a couple songs into their set and the singer was bleeding a lot from what, I don't know. then there was a bunch of people moshing around with beer cans. I'm also not sure why, but at one point, I went to snap a picture and someone put their hand in front of my flash to stop me. with all that said, they were pretty decent, I just think I need to see them at a bigger venue. I was too worried about the $$$ in my hands to enjoy them.
waking judea: if you guys didn't know what to expect from this band... um.. I guess you haven't really been paying attention. I like them, but I like ATG (melodic) influenced bands. which is a good thing cause there are alot of them now-a-days. I figured there would be more dancing and then joesephy came down.
sulaco: this was the 3rd time I saw them in 3 days, w00t. oh and sorry phantos, but all of sweden knows that Lon won't hold up invisible grapefruit for anyone. these guys sounded so good again, except that I couldn't hear the backup vocals. everyone kept asking for everything to be turned up, but it was so damn loud!
playing enemy: my apologies to andrew and everyone, I had to leave at 9pm. I almost ran back after unholy trinity played to catch your last couple songs, but didn't... did everyone survive the flying bass?

such a great show I don't know what anyone is complaining about. I guess you've all been hiding in some sort of Utopian dreamweave. At our first house shows we fucking smashed everything from tables windows and shit, this was so tame, once you tell a 40yr old what to do even though it is your house, these kids lost all respect. But what you could have done is gotten me and I would have made them stop. I feel you made it worse by telling them to stop. These were insane pool skaters that can't think any more from slamming there heads all day. So imagine a bunch of Steve-O's at your house I think it went pretty smooth.

Walking Jerusalem(the wandering jew) were tight and awesome. I will go see them again.

Oh all those dudes are in A DVD available at Regeneration and Newbury comics called "Hated" in the skateboard Sports section. If you feel like watching assholes do something constructive.
[Mar 26,2005 3:40pm - PatMeebles ""]
Haha, I'm being labeled like I was in complete shock that a band I didn't like was playing. I'm not surprised, nor am I pissed off. I just didn't like the band.
[Mar 26,2005 3:45pm - defnasty ""]
Josh Martin is a fag.

[Mar 26,2005 8:03pm - BestialOnslaught ""]
Hahahaha...
Pathetic.
[Mar 26,2005 10:14pm - defnasty ""]
Fight bitches!
[Mar 27,2005 12:32am - PatMeebles ""]
Hahaha, I don't like your band, so you're going to beat me up. You're starting to sound like Wretched Asylumn.
[Mar 27,2005 9:48am - defnasty ""]
shut up.
[Mar 27,2005 12:56pm - D-Ray ""]
Pat, don't worry about him. Worry about me mother fucker. I'm gonna kick your ass because i like you

jonah you're basement has always been a great place and i will always respect your house as long as you keep putting on shows there and letting people hang out.
[Mar 27,2005 4:04pm - defnasty ""]
Yeah shows like this one.
[Mar 27,2005 4:15pm - eat me raw ""]
if dave hits you, i will shave off his goofy ass mohawk and slap him with my nuts. atreyu though man? kind of rough meebs, you know? i'm cool with it. judea, defcon 4, atreyu european tour 2K5 you'd be into it.
jonah- thanks again for having us on the show it was a great time.
[Mar 27,2005 7:05pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""]
or you know, you could respect the person who's house it is. but i guess that wouldn't be punkrock.
[Mar 27,2005 9:21pm - PatMeebles ""]
Ok, fine. Unearth.
Edit: There's no icon to make this intentionally a joke.
[Mar 27,2005 9:30pm - KeithMutiny ""]
ya, im all about the "respect for peoples stuff" idea, and im not a fan of how someone is jumping at pat cause he stated an opinion. I guess this is the way things have become in Boston, but again, this is only an outside view based soley on reading this thread. Call me names and threaten me too if you want, that seems to be the way to deal with it, or smarten up and take care of the few places you have left to play at.

thoughts on this show: super lame crowd. I learned my lesson about booking defcon 4.
thoughts on waking judea: nice kids, super sick metal riffage, cheesy ass breakdowns. haha

Defcon 4 is one of the few reasons so many people showed up. Hence one of the few reasons you made so much money. All told, not that much happened.
[Mar 27,2005 10:37pm - PatMeebles ""]
That attendance was actually quite low compared to other shows that have been held there.
[Mar 27,2005 10:58pm - the_reverend ""]
this was just like a most other library shows, every band fills the basement with their fans. defcon4 had their fans, waking judea had their fans, and sulaco/playing enemy had their fans. most don't overlap.
honestly, this was too small of a place to have defcon4 IMHO, but it was cool to see them. they sounded awesome when I was upstairs... but most of their crowded was almost blind drunk so when I was downstairs, I was very cautious. I would like to see them at the middle east where there is a lot more room.
I can see why jonah would be pissed and stuff. I can see the other side too.
If I were jonah, I would have been pissed about people being disrespectful.
If I were the people there, I would have been pissed getting asking to stop what I was doing.
defnasty, next time you are in this situation, do what other people do and tell the person running the show "if you have problems, tell me" and that would have solved this bullshit.
the show is over, people learned stuff and 99.9% of the people there had an awesome time. now, just drop it. if anyone fights or hurts anyone for their oppinions, you are just plain retards.
*steps down off his soap box*

"Hence one of the few reasons you made so much money. All told, not that much happened."
Lets be honest here, I'm ROLLING in money. I have so much money that I don't know what to do with it all! Thanks defcon 4!!
[Mar 27,2005 11:07pm - the_reverend ""]
FACT: jonah, chrisxxx, anne, and joe loose $$ on most shows and at best break even.
if I were them, i wouldn't put on shows anymore. be glad that they are still doing it.
[Mar 27,2005 11:10pm - anonymous ""]
meebs, its all cool man, as long as we are friends. i feel like everyone resents me... people are so much friendlier in new york during the winter.
we will cover raped by the light of christ next time if you ask nicely
[Mar 27,2005 11:10pm - PatMeebles ""]
How can they lose money? Are repairs after shows really that expensive???
[Mar 27,2005 11:20pm - the_reverend ""]
"lose money" = paying headliners
[Mar 27,2005 11:24pm - JonahBloodbath ""]
I made $9 on this show and $50 on the show before this. On the other hand I lost over $50 on the two shows I did before those.
Being a good show promoter means paying bands weather or not kids show up. If I'm able to pay all the bands that need to be payed then I like to keep enough for a sandwich, but that happens pretty rarely.
[Mar 27,2005 11:28pm - PatMeebles ""]
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about paying bands. I'm still stuck in local DIY mode. My bad.
[Apr 2,2005 3:45pm - anonymous ""]
Jonah go listen to Between the Buried and me you fucking queer.
[Apr 2,2005 5:24pm - JonahBloodbath ""]
I was actually just listening to their first album the other day while doing some dishes. good stuff. not really into the new disk though..
[Apr 2,2005 10:05pm - BestialOnslaught ""]
