Apologies go out
to anyone who might have showed up at the originally planned "venue"
for this show and then only ended up finding not much of anything out
of the ordinary going on there. Fears that the weather might have
gotten crappier than it was meant that this show was moved, at almost
the last minute, to the relatively drier environs of the S2HQ.
Word of this possible change of venue was put out there by various
electronic means the night before so you can't say an effort wasn't
made to get people hip to the possible change of venue.
That said, on
to the meat and potatoes, or as it turned out, the tofurky and
cheeseburgers of this tale. First up on the day's agenda was to
get the BBQ, or more precisely, the Keg-A-Q, up and running because
sometimes you've got to feed the internal flames before you can get
things started. Coals heated up quickly, the first round of grub
got grubbed, then it was time to start the rock with Father Finger,
this was only the second public performance of this undeniably new band
(first time out was at P.H.O.N.Y. #25) and it was like a whole new
breed
of an animal, same species, but more advanced. Two blasts of
guitar powered ass-kicking was summarily thrown out along with for real
from the gut vocals just adding more kick to the collected asses.
Yikes. All I can say is that I've got to be there for Father
Finger gig #3. A quick run to the local sto' for more grub
fixin's allowed for some time for everyone to catch their breath while
Ant Parade set up. Not one to not mix things up, today's set was
a
fresh off the decks remix of "Ax of God", a song that came about fairly
recently but this time rolled out with a much more punched up
beat.
Additional vocals to accompany this set were provided by the visible
Peggy while additional hand-claps were provided by invisible
hands. It would only make sense if you were there. Another
break to get back to a little feasting and then, for the first time
ever, a short impromptu set from the heart of S2DOK, it felt good,
maybe it felt better than it sounded but who's to say. 2/3's of
Skeleton Warrior were in attendance but, unfortunately, they didn't
play. The rest of the late afternoon was spent gabbing the gab
and noshing the nosh. Not a bad way to spend a day, it all just
made me forget about the overcast skies and helped me remember, you get
out of life what you put into it. My thanks to everyone
that came out and made this what it was. Peggy, were you trying
to tell us that you pooped in the yard? I'd like to think so, but
don't
worry, it's ok, shit happens.
