SNFU, Crown the Wolf, Run Like Hell, Spread Eagle. Sugar nightclub. feb 2008

Well i got metal detected at the door as well as a good pocket feel up... but what the hell... the world is getting crazier. or? I showed the doorman my ID upside-down so it read i was born in 99. He looked at it and started to do the math, then he looked at me again. Ha Ha ha... still it makes me feel good when a doorman asks an old man like me for ID. But i do look young for my age. I usually wink at the doorman and ask him when his shift is over. Yeah all you stupid non-drinkers can quite complaining about pop and water prices... the object is to smuggle a two litre of pop or water in your underwear then if the doorman notices he will be in for a real feel.anyway the show is about the music... here's my opinion if anyone really cares:Crown the Wolf = one of my favorite new bands. Great sound... i spent a fair bit of time driving around listening to Kyuss years ago and i get that same feeling from Crown the Wolf. I really dig thier sound... but the stage presence is kinda like watching trees on a day with no wind. Powerfull stomping trees but they weren't exactly ripping up the stage at this show anyway. still one of my favorite new sounding bands.Run Like Hell = yeah man.... I work in Langford at the Rona and on the weekends I have a little metal band. These dudes rock in maybe a metallica way. Again I like thier sound and they are worth seeing.... metal that you can hear not filled up with blobs of noise and speed. Just goood metal.Spread Eagle = well... I liked them this time better. But still with all these guitars on stage at times it gets filled up with blobs of noise and speed... They are a force though and i do hear a little misfits/denim demon as well as some fine guitar solos. They rock and i hear they might be playing the Island Invasion hoit-rod weekend this year... I think i will leave the kids at home that night. SNFU = a man who is one of the legendary voices of Canadian punk. I like SNFU and the album "No one else wanted to Play" is a classic that you should own, or steal from your moms record collection. So here we have the Chi Pig some twenty five years later executing the punks... For its age its fine. I think if you never got to see them twenty five years ago ,like i did, then to see them now is still O.K. Its not like seeing a washed up Trooper or Loverboy. SNFU are fine and at least this time i got to go home to my nice warm bed after the show unlike when i saw them 25 years ago i slept in a goodwill box."that's all folks" -porky pig jaKWell i got metal detected at the door as well as a good pocket feel up... but what the hell... the world is getting crazier. or?
