July 24 Benefit Show

[Combat Chuck]

Same here. This makes me pretty sick. I was in full support of the whole thing until I found out all this info. Thanks to Alpha for weeding out the dick-asses.

"Liberty Stage"? "Freedom Stage"? WTMLF*?

Fear not young ones, the bands have been contacted, and we are working on supplying them gas money. Lugo has not been booking very many, if any bands, at all. Myself, and mainly one of my band members have been contacting the bands to actually book them, and we are indeed planning on supplying them with gas money. The line up is still kickass, and the show will happen. So don't bitch about the people that set up the show, and how about you come out and enjoy what Taylor and Tiff did while they were around for christ's sake.

For the record, the show is a Benefit show, that's for damn sure. The whole tribute show idea has been eliminated. Basically Lugo got the location, we got the bands.

I'm feeling a little bit better about the whole thing, but still...

[Alpha]

I'm still very very hesitant as to if I should go or not. In fact, don't be suprised to not see me there. I like victim's idea... I'll mail it.

[fat_retard]

If you don't want to support the corrupted cause, at least go support the bands playing. Its not their fault the promoter is being a greedy, hypoctitic asshole.

[Alpha]

Yeah but I feel that it's just not worth it to go you know?
I'll hopefully be trying to set up a show in a little bit with some people that I know can set up shows properly. Until then I feel that supporting Robert and his silly benefit show are just fruitless.

[silver and cold]

Alpha, fuck whos setting it up and what not, do it for Taylor and Tiffanee, I really didn't want to go, because of people going and certain bands playing, but I am going for the thought of the girls.
Yeah, he maybe doing it for publicity(sp?)...good for him, if he wants to do it for those reasons, that his own problem, but go and have fun like Taylor and Tiffanee would have. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Word of mouth and a quick check of Josiah's website have confirmed that Josiah is indeed playing the show on Thursday. I thought/heard all the slots were filled. The flyers have been out for a long time too and so many changes have been made.

[alkaline_trio-]

yes i have heard the same thing fat that josiah is playing and yes it does say they are playing on their site but i was talking to sumone who is setting the show up and he said that josiah cant play i am quite pissed off about this but hey im still goin to go and hav fun and just goof off like tiff and tay would

[fat_retard]

Thats what I've heard too, but I'm not completely sure either way.

[fat_retard]

And also, the jackass who is setting this up is probably cutting two bands short whose First Fucking Show this is because he booked too many god damn bands. His new band whose first show this is also, is not being cut short one fucking song, fuck him in his motherfucking ass. Fuck

I'm curious as to that too.

[fat_retard]

The two bands I heard are WTE and Gorgeous George, but I'm not sure if they are going to be cut short or not, its just what I've heard and its bullshit. And also they are just going to have their sets cut in half, not completely cut from the show, but its still shit.
... and now I've heard that Gorgeous George isn't playing because they have no drummer.

I went to the show last night. I had a pretty good time, It wasn't the most fun show I've been to but it was fun. When it came time for the show to start, the doors were locked. Lugo was missing a PA. So everyone waited outside until around five.

WTE , The first band started playing right away, I won't give a detailed review of this band for some unspecified(obvious) reasons.

Second, was Gorgeous George, and honestly they sucked, I've got nothing against any members of the band, but they need to practice alot .

Next was Lugo's cover band the Unknown. They sucked ass.

Fourth were The Cadavers, I loved their set becasue I am a Huge Misfits fan. They covered such classics as Bullet, Die, Die My Darling, and Teenagers From Mars.

Fifth was Onset I believe, I don't really remember the order. Onset was pretty good I thought, they sound alot like Incubus, but they had their act together and were pretty nifty nonetheless.

Coming up next was The Smartest Monkeys. From what I heard, they were pretty good, I don't really dig their music, but it was good.

Seventh was Adison I believe. If you haven't seen Adison live, you have not lived. They are an amazing band and the crowd loved them.

Some time Essex played. They were pretty good but they really aren't my kind of music.

Stealing September's set was enjoyable. Grade A "Screamo". I really enjoy their new songs and am very glad they fired TP their old guitarist.

A Thousand Seasons was great, Their new stuff was very pimpin too and put on a very nice show.

Josiah=awesome. I love Josiah, and I love Hardcore. This wasn't their best show, but it was cool.

Chronic Chaos ruled, They were one of the best bands there. I really enjoy their live show every time I see them.

Gunk was decent, I'm not really a big fan, but they are pretty good. I was really tired from moshing to ATS at this point and couldn't get into their set.

Next was Ingsoc, well in my opinion, Ingsoc blows (minus Joel, Jordan, Andy and Chad) They played second to last, which was bullshit right there. They should have played almost first because they are hella worse than WTE, Gunk, ATS, Chronic Chaos, Adison, Josiah, Essex and Smartest Monkeys which is almost everyone.

Last was Corporate Circus, They weren't that great. I don't like their music that well, but they put on a good/fun show and stuff.

All in all I had a good time and the show went over more smoothly than I anticipated. I was happy that some people replaced the "Freedom" and "Liberty" stage banners with "Taylor" and "Tiffanee" banners.

I was dissapointed Gorgeous George, their really pretty good, but they had to get a last minute drummer,it all went down frome there, and well the rest has already been stated.
The Cadavers were awesome, had nice outfits too
Onset was not very good, they did sound a little bit like Incubus, but a bad version.
Loved Adison, actually listening to the cd right now.
Stealing September did good, but BH needs to be bitch slaped for the comment he made!
ATS was amazing, the birthday thing was fun, to those who helped us pitch in for the cupcake, Thanks!
Gunk was good, I've been a fan for a while.
Corporate was awesome, I had alot of fun, and they did really well!

The show wasnt to bad after all!!

[malibu]

Let me start by saying, the night was great. A nice amount of money was raised for both families. WTE was good. Fantasticly comedic performance. Gorgeous George was alright. I missed part of their performance running errands for a friend. I also missed The Cadavers. Onset was an Incubus soundalike definitely. They kind of got boring after awhile. The Smartest Monkeys were the craziest dudes there. They impressed me. They were funny, wild, and overall good quality. Also, I loved their rendition of "Hot in Herre" and the song from the Mario Brothers games. Next, Adison. This was my first time seeing Adison and I have to say I was impressed. Essex was a nice band, they gave away free CDs and stickers. The CD is pretty good I guess. Stealing September was interesting. They were good though I love their new CD. I about shit myself when DH said what he did when they were done with their set. But that's neither here nor there. A Thousand Seasons never cease to amaze me. Josiah didn't impress me all that much. Chronic Chaos was good. I missed Gunk's performance because I went outside. INGSOC didn't have their greatest set. Jordan was going crazy which was entertaining. They defniitely got the crowd moving though. And Joel has quit the band. Corporate Circus was awesome. They got everyone jumping, and moshing, and it was a good time. So overall, the show was great. I can't say that I could have found a better place to be last night.

[the_butcher]

to begin with, thanks for the complement, fat_retard. even though we only got to play four songs, it was still a better show for us.

as for the signs above the stages...i'm glad people noticed. i've had that planned for awhile now...after all, i could have sworn that was a tribute show, not a fucking political rally. maybe it's just me though...

[Dr. Seuss]

Although I wasn't at the show the entire time, from what I saw the bands were pretty cool. WTE was very cool. It's too bad more people weren't there to see them, because it was a nice change to see a fun band. Adison and The Smartest Monkeys were also very good. It was a good show. If you didn't show up, you missed out on a fun night. The stage names were lame. I'm glad someone changed them.
