Pavlichenko
Plague
Shards
Wall
@ The Soapbox (Downstairs) 06/04/09
A sort of local punk/grind/thrash showing. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to catch Audacity and Surf Nazis on Ecstasy, and I really bummed to miss the latter. I did get there in time to catch Wall, who are still really righteous. I've seen these guys a handful of times already and this might have been the best time. The sound wasn't quite so deafening as it has been in the past, but everything still had the power and intensity it's had in the past.
Shards didn't really impress me. They had good energy and seemed to really be into what they were playing, but I was honestly bored throughout most of their set. Sorry guys.
Plague weren't musically amazing either, but they were more entertaining. The singer was certainly something else. He wore his sunglasses and a big denim jacket for the entirety of their set, and seemed to want to run into everyone, be it on purpose or accidental. He alone was worth the price of admission.
Pavlichenko closed out and did a fine job like always. I wish they'd put out an album already, seeing as how they're too musically talented to be just a "live" band. Great riffs, great dudes, good speed (the music that is).

Indian
Dr. Powerful
Empire State Troopers
@ Reggie's 06/06/09
Weedeater was originally supposed to play this one, but due to a mishap involving Keko, the drummer, damaging/losing his finger after slashing his girlfriend's tires (don't ask), they dropped off. A big blow to the show if you ask me.
Empire State Troopers were kind of interesting. They had a chick singer who didn't really sound like a chick (even when she was talking). They played a mixture of old style hard rock and new school hard rock, meaning there were some songs that hit, and some that really didn't. Nice folks though. They offered a free d/l of their album because I took pics of their set.
Dr. Powerful were on next, and they were yet another band that didn't necessarily fit the bill. Playing kind of post-punk/post-hardcore with some almost dancy beats. Their main singer looked like Nate Newton from Converge/Doomriders fame. Not bad, but I don't think I'd be in a hurry to see them again.
And on next to close the night were Chicago's own doomsters, Indian. I needed some good riffs to really get me back in a good mood, and they definitely provided it. Before I forget to say it, these guys were LOUD. Sunn amps are cool, but in small spaces, they can make your experience painful. They were still pretty damn good though. Their set seemed shorter than the other bands' were. Oh well.
