hardcore bromance

Monday May 12^th

Right before we left for Minneapolis, Justin (Sleeper Cellar) asked us to play a show with a few touring bands at a new-ish venue called The Point. We’re not going to be around much longer so we said we’d do it. It started out okay….

sounded promising, hand jammers == good times.

But the good times ended not too long after we got to The Point. Some guy that worked at The Point was letting Justin put on shows there and that guy got there late…. and was super trashed. I didn’t see it happen, but apparently this guy punched Justin a few times in the neck and face. Lame.

So all the bands loaded out and we started calling other venues to find the touring bands somewhere to set up and possibly make a little money. Me and Allen called a bunch of places, but the only place we could get in three bands at 11pm on a Monday was the Newsroom.

All three bands shared equipment to make set changes faster, but we still didn't go on until about two in the morning. There was a one song Baby Birds reunion with Jameson on bass and vocals, Drew on guitar and Allen on drums. Then we played for the first time as a seven piece with Allen and Piatt both playing full drum sets. Luke, Drew, James and I played guitar and Trevis played bass. It was chaos.

During 'To My Surprise', our third song, someone grabbed James' microphone. This somehow led to a fight that pretty much stopped the show. Kind of. Drew's pedals got fucked up on the fight and he was already fed up with the KC violence before round two, he walked out during the song. Trevis' bass cut out at some point during the fight song. The rest of us kept on playing noise while Piatt and Allen beat up on their drums. Allen destroyed his drum set and started beating on the pieces while we were a loud mess.

A few days later, I plugged in and tried to use my amp, it's all kinds of fucked up.
