Last night my friend Matt and I attended a show that weve both been anticipating for many months, Against Me!.It got moved from the Kensignton Community Center to the glorious basement confines of 99 Custer St. There was soo much punk rock there, we both felt very accepted (*sarcasm). The first 2 bands were very forgettable locals , then the No Idea Records bands came out and rocked oh so hard. Please login or register to post comments.

i have had the opportunity to see against me and the grabasscharlestons in litle rock arkansas and also share a few beers with the guys they are with out a doubt some of the best on the seen cant wait to got to another AM show Against Me! is teh fucking punx0r I saw this show in DC and it was absolutely incredible. But neither AOP or Grabass Charlestons can hold a candle to Against Me!. They are THE #1 MOST INCREDIBLE BAND IN THE WORLD. That I know of, anyway. Anarcho punks are mysterious. Listen to their newest 7' inch " The Disco befor the breakdown" it is "helva good" Yeah, I went to the show in atlanta too. It was rockin. I just went to this show in ATL. Best show ever. That is all. Grabis sharlstins r mor punx thn u r!!! chekk me ot im stoopit!!! oi oi oi!!! When they played in athens, ga last july, everyone at the show went skinny dipping at a hotel pool down the street afterwards. There were like 30-40 people there. I left my boxers on cuz I'm a wuss. I was at this buffalo show and it was wicked...except for the crusty scrawny naked drunk dude that was a little too close for comfort.it was so packed in there i was sitting on the p.a.but it was still amazing!! I never heard against me! until I saw them in a kids basement. Most emotional performance I have ever seen. seriously, they seem to really love what they do and it reflects on there music and show. Great band. Against me and Army of Ponch are in my opinion the two best bands around today. I've seen both of them a shitload of times but I hope they play more than only 5 or 6 songs each when they hit Atlanta. Wait. Grabass opened for Rivethead? That's bullshit. Rivethead is OK (sort of), but they're no Grabass Charlestons. I've seen Grabass Charlestons opening for the Dillinger Four/Toys That Kill/Rivethead tour. They were pretty good and really energetic, and their drummer sang, so they deserve extra points for that. I've seen Against Me twice, and everyone should see them before they die, an absolutely amazing show. Against Me! is the best band ever. I was all set to cry BLASPHEMY on you when you said that the first two bands were forgettable. I figured it was just these three bands playing. Haha. Grabass Charlestons are friggin' outstanding. AOP is great, too. I saw them once and they were alright. They were sick, though, so that kept them from being amazing. Against Me! is... well, exactly what everyone else has said. I'd rather piss on my face and then go to this show. Nothing like a piss face rock show. I'm still heartbroken that I won't be able to see this show, even though Grabass is the only band there that I haven't seen. Plus, they're supposedly touring with two other amazing bands in a few months: tiltWheel and the Tim Version. Excuse me, I need to relieve some tension. Against Me! rules, they are phenominal live. I'd rather piss on your face, then go to this show. Against me is a good time. No idea is the best label out there, i think half my vinyl is from them. Bizarre. Any label that recognizes trapdoor fucking exit's brilliance deserves my patronage. i'd rather piss on my face than go to this show |
