Bedlam cd release party with Inventing Zero, Spork and Bedlam!
This was a rough one for the band. First of all, We'd like to apologize for all the people that came out to see Twitchboy. They apparently cancelled after reading our website bio. When asked about Foursphere, drummer Jason Twitch said, "Those guys are dicks. We're not driving two hours to hang out with dicks". Apon further investigation, however, this turns out to be not true, but just another internet rumor, probably spread by the guys in Noble Savage.
The crowd didn't seem to notice or care, for that matter, when our drum kit and Terry caught fire THREE TIMES during our set. Barry was frantically trying to control the smoke and flames whilst the crowd kept yelling, "More Fog, man!" But on a good note, Inventing Zero played a great first show. They were very metal!
4/22/00 The Blue Goose, Northport, ME
With Ransom, Corridor and Spork
What a crappy day for a show! It rained. And rained. But for the 12 people that turned out, what a treat! The band says this was their best show as of yet. Barry was victim to self-asphyxiation when he tried to sing "Children of the Grave" with a plastic Shop n' Save bag over his head. What the crowd did not see, however, was that he actually lost consciencenss for a brief period. Seeing that Barry was down, Randy kicked in with a blistering guitar solo while Phil revived Barry via an adrenaline injection administered to his heart. Luckily, only 2 ribs were broken. It was fun playing with Corridor and Spork again, and Ransom kicked the night off with style.
4/8/00 Watts Hall, Thomaston, ME
With Broken Clown and Splint
We played upstairs from the Thomaston Police Station. We didn't know the Police were below us, and we played our usual rendition of Body Count's "Cop Killer" (See resulting pic). We believe absolutely nobody came to the show to see us. Broken Clown was really loud and the crowd had fist-banging mania. We signed some autographs, but we're pretty sure those chicks thought we were in Broken Clown. Splint played their first show, and their bass player wore cool boots. The lighting guy did a kick-ass job and made us all look like rock stars. Except for Terry.
3/25/00 Knights of Columbus, Old Town, ME
With DPM, Bedlam, Spork and Headcount
Before the show, Phil was walking to the stage when he thought he heard Fast Eddie Porter of Spork fame shout, "Hey Phil, you suck!" Phil lost what little cool he had and charged Ed and took him down. A bunch of creepy prepubescent teens with bandanas had to pull Phil off of Ed. Apparently, what Ed actually said was, "Good Luck". Somehow, Jayson Chabre's pants fell down during the Spork set. Perhaps it's because they're 10 sizes too big. Headcount was heavy as usual, and Bedlam had Jayson and that Max Cavalera dude sing songs with them.
2/5/00 John Bapst Battle of the Bands, Bangor, ME
With Phokus, Event Horizon, Bedlam, Spork, Corridor and Headcount
Our first show outside of Waldo County. Headcount ran away laughing with the prize, but the real prize was ours when we got 30 bucks for bringing the P.A. system! Weeeee!!!
10/30/99 The Blue Goose, Northport, ME
With Monolith, Corridor and The Amen Family
Quite a huge turnout for Northport, I guess the "legend" of The Amen Family Needed to be witnessed. Either everyone came to see the Amen Family, or The Amen Family drove everyone away! By the time Monolith hit the stage, the only people in the crowd were the other bands. Corey of Corridor got in a huge fistfight with one of the two Amens. She kicked his ass. Soon after this show, Monolith broke up, and on 4/29/00, Corridor called it quits. Randy our guitar player has a strange fungus growing on the back of his knees and elbows, and Barry keeps getting skinnier. Terry is also complaining of Gum Disease, and Phil has dirty fingernails. We believe that all of these unfortunate occurances are the direct result of performing with the "family."
