w/ The Project Seven, Big Coffin Hunters, Thrown from the Womb
The Project Seven asked us to perform with 3 other bands as well as themselves. Over the course of a few weeks, those three other bands all dropped off the bill (one of whom dropped off that evening), and were replaced by Big Coffin Hunters and Thrown from the Womb.
To be honest I don’t recall a great deal about this show. Turnout was pretty mediocre. Not surprising – it’s The Station. It seems that their only ace in the hole is being an all ages venue, but if there’s not a touring headliner with their mugs on TV, then the kids just don’t come out. They don’t know how good they have it – I WISH we had such a venue when I was a kid. Anyway, Big Coffin Hunters played some new tunes (a definite step up from their oldies), We played to our usual stares and applause, Project Seven didn’t have as big a crowd as they merited, but were breathtaking. TFTW closed, and are becoming a favorite of mine. All the quirkiness of Taming the Shrew but heavier.
We did sell a lot of merch that evening, but I guess the best part of it was just hanging out with all our friends.
