2000 - Zao/ Autumns Embrace...
Saw Zao at Millvale Industrial Theater. The
opening band, Autumns Embrace,
i liked a lot.
i hadn`t heard of them before, and really liked them better than the
other bands there
(cept Zao of course). The other 2 bands, Jumbo & someone else
(can`t remember
who) were alright, but really didn`t hold my attention. Although
Zao were good,
they only played 5 or 6 songs, and then i guess their drummer got
sick of playing
and left, so they left too. It sucked. They didn`t play anything i
wanted them too.
Hopefully the Casualties & Varukers show tomorrow nite will be
much better. I`m
pretty psyched to see the Varukers.

2000 - Varukers / Casualties / Aus Rotten
This was a really really good show. Aus Rotten opened up and played,
well, they played
kind of long actually, but it was alright becuz i was there to
see the Varukers,
and they were awesome!!! The casualties were obviously the
crowd favorite,
i know i dig em a lot. All in all, the music was great, the
bands were full
of energy and enthusiasm, the crowd loved it, and the mohawks
were plentiful...hehehe...
Thursday May 18,
2000 - Zao, Autumns
Embrace, Circle of the Dead
Children, Steel
Curtain & The Great Eastern
This shows was
like about as good as the last time i saw Zao...although
i must say that
their drummer fuckin rox :) Autumns Embrace didn`t
hold my attention
like they did last tme..mayeb i wasn`t in a hardcore mood
or something...anywho,
steel curtai was stoopid...me & marc wanted to kill
the frontman...and
circle of dead children sucked too...of course i`m not
really into satan
worshipping, so i guess i wouldn`t like them...the
great eastern turned
out o obe an old friend of mines band..they were all
right, i`m just
not into emo core..so needless to say i don`t think i`l
be seeing Zao again..i`ve
been displeased each time i`ve gone to their
shows this year,
and think i`ll just stick with their cds...although they
did play a full
set this time...hehehe

- Vox Populi & The Apathetics
The Apathetics,
Timmy C`s & Shawn`s band, played t DW`s
grad party tonite..they
were pretty cool, although i thought
that if timmy c
weren`t so drunk they would have done way better. Shawn
is awesome at te
guitar, and they`ve got a better bass player now. Sorry aaron...
Now onto Vox Populi...This
is Marty & Brandon`s band...wow...i am impressed.
I really didn`t
think that Brandon could scream like that..lol...these guys
were freakin amazing
and i really like their music a lot. Marty is a freakin
genius on guitar..and
the fact that they didn`t have a bass player
didn`t hinder then
in anyway what so ever. Good shows for their first
public appearance
:~)

- Hatebreed
I think there might
have been a show before this but i can`t remember
what is was, so
oh well...This was a damn good show...the opening bands
kind of sucked...everyone
thinks hardcore is korn and limp bizkit and
it kind of sux...but
Hatebreed was awesome. Their guitars weren`t
turned up enough
though and all i could hear was bass...but since i knew
all the songs it
didn`t matter too much. I skpped Poison, Slaughterm
Cinderella and
Dokken to go to this show...:(
Friday July 21st,
2000 - Casualties
/ Antidote / Virus
Oh my God...what
a good freakin show...there were 2 other bands beofre the
3 listed but i
can`t remember them...but Wow...Virus were okay. Their
music seemed like
they were trying to please every kind of punk style ; pop,street,
oi, etc...But Antidote...wow...the
only thing they had there to buy was
a 10inch...so i
grabbed up ther very last one...i loved them soooo much...
and then the casualties
were awesome as always. Jorge gave me a discount
on a cd so he`s
my new friend...lol...there weren`t as many people as there were
the last casualties
show, but i think that might have been better anyway.
The misfits are
on sunday august 6...so that`ll be me next show
rants straight edge me doyle update info pix Apathetics linx
