Well here it is guys, and it is going to be cram fucking packed with all the awesome shit that happened this week.
First and foremost, I would like to thank all the kids that came out to the show on Sunday and totally went apeshit, Tim Shortell for filming and putting together that sick trailer, and Dob for putting on such a sick show.
Overall the show was incredible. The energy was high and the crowd response to our set was unreal. The big slip up during our set was of course my good buddy Sebastian getting thrown out for dancing. I heard a lot of bullshit about this like "He swung at the bouncer" or that "The bouncer was just doing his job". I watched the whole thing happen right before me and I can assure you that Sebastian, who is small as fuck, did not swing at the bouncer. And as for the bouncer doing his job, well lets just put it like this. At a bar like Ollie's Point, that hosts very different events, you would think that the staff would learn how to diffuse certain situations without it escalating. Sebastian was thrown out of the venue like he was 6 feet tall, 220 pounds and 14 beers deep. In reality, he probably weighs a little over 100 pounds, cant be more than 5'5'' and doesn't drink. For a short time I was a "security guard" at the Vibe Lounge, and I have never put my arms around some ones throat, no matter how rowdy they were. The bouncer could have handled the situation a lot better than he did. In the end though, the problems were resolved and the crowd was able to go nuts for With the Punches and Hit the Lights, so I am happy that there was a resolution.
Other than that slip up, the show was probably one of the best shows I have ever played.
So, anyone who has been on facebook this weeks knows that their has been a campaign for my friends in No Good News to open up for Stereo Skyline at Vibe this summer. I have gotten several messages from guys in the bands that are already playing that show and I figured I would address that here.
What has been happening in regards to that show is all in good fun. I am not looking to ruin anyones time, just to stir the pot a little bit. Not everyone is going to like your band, in fact, I am not a big fan of any band playing that show, and they probably aren't the biggest fans of me, and that is fine. Wether or not you agree with what has been said for or against any of the parties involved, one fact is undeniable: Everyone has gotten a little more attention than if no one said anything. Don't feel attacked or discriminated against, cause the truth is wether No Good News plays or not, I probably wont be at that show, nor will any of the other kids that hopped on that band wagon, we are just having a good time dickin' around.
To put it simply, our case holds no water.
Well thats about it. I hope to see you guys at the show tomorrow!
