Holy shit was that concert epic. The whole day was pretty intense, actually. First, I started off the morning with a slight hangover at 8:30 am so I could start getting ready. After getting pissed at my computer because my blank cd's are SHIT (Don't Buy Memorex), Mitch got back to Eau Claire so we headed out. After some intense driving, we found the Triple rock and decided we needed to find something to do. Well, we didn't. We got coffee and walked around for an hour or so. Yeah, good fun. So then we decided to drive around and try to find something. That did not end well. We got sort of lost, and because I just looooove driving around in big cities, I actually had a mild panic attack. Luckily we found our way back to the Triple Rock, so we had some lunch and I got a much needed beer. The bartender there was super friendly and gave us directions to all the record stores in the area, so we drove over to the Electric Fetus and I scored some sweet electronica/trip hop records. Then we waited forever for the show to start. Then first opening band was pretty cool, sort of and indie rock outfit like Trail of Dead called Midnight Masses. The girl on rythym guitar was beautiful. I am now a believer in love at first sight. I think she was Asian... Anywho, dance punk is alive and well in LA, apparently. The next band, Funeral Party, was some really intense dance punk. The break downs were cool but the bodies of the actual songs got to be repetitive. Then we got to the good stuff. Trail of Dead was AMAZING. They got so intense, it was brilliant. They opened with Giants Causeway and ran straight into Isis Unveiled... Oh man. They played Will You Smile Again For Me, Homage, Relative Ways, Fields Of Coal... What a great set. The encore was Caterwaul, and it blew the fucking house down. The singer jumped out into the crowd and ran all the way to the back of the venue. Needless to say, it was quite rocking. I still have ringing in my ears. :)
