Proud representatives of the Air Guitar/Drum association
Maybe I should clarify what I meant when I said that I disliked The Bash on Ash. You see I've never been to a bad show there, in fact some of my favorite bands (Hey Mercedes, The Fire Theft) played at Bash. Nevertheless, I remain indifferent towards Bash. Why? Well for one, the sound there isn't great. Whoever works the sound doesn't seem to have the utmost pride in their work, and the result can be disastrous (Exhibit A: The Hey Mercedes show). Moreover, they have this cool lighting set up that looks really impressive when they turn it on, but they almost never turn it on. Little things like that irritate me in addition to the big gripe of bad sound. But like Gabe noted, the sound last night was better then it's been in a long time. And Dredg was cool: They had a bunch of weird paintings and tree branches littered around the stage. If I had a camera I would have taken a picture for you to see.
Oh, and what's up with the obnoxious fans? I mean, come on...I'm standing right here and you keep bumping into me. It's not like we're all crowded in, there's plenty of room for you to play air guitar over there. Yeah, the third guy who joined in played air guitar at one point… Before the show Gabe and I went to a little indie record store called East Side. At the store they had this huge dog and I'm almost 100% sure that they sick him on anyone who comes in asking where the nearest Sam Goody is. I need to get a dog like that...then no one will bounce into Gabe or I at a show.
