jesus christ... who is going to this?

god damn, i'll be there for everyone BUT new lows. just another over-rated b9 hype band.

i'm there

If this wasn't on a Friday I might have gone.

it's awesome

bennyhillifier

im there

cannot fucking wait for this. gonna work off all that turkey during converge.

I think I'm might just take a trip to see this show.

this show will be awesome.

im so fucking going to be there.... im a little obssessed with converge. killerkadogan can vouche for me

I might be there to stay downstairs and get hammered. Fuck music.

fucking black friday, apparently i have work even though ire wuested it off a few weeks ago

anyone know or have an guess as to when converege is playing, i get out of work at 7 and can make it to cambridge by 8:00-8:15.

if that is the case, then you probably won't get in...
this will sell out.
though a lot of people get lucky and get in even when things are sold out.

hmm really, im gonna see if i can get out earlier

what time will i have to show up to this if i want to get in.
if i even go. i don't want to go to cambridge and not get in.

There will be a special guest.....
I've been told those who don't go will want kill themselves once they find out who "it" was.....
And yes they're bigger than converge.

I doubt this will "sell out". Last time they played with the red chord it didn't sell out.

special guest is Next Level

I didn't know that we were bigger than Converge?

what is next level?

can't wait...

holy shit, the special guest was just confirmed who i thought it was going to be.
this band at the cambridge elks, what in the world....
this place is being destroyed

I'm leaving in an hour for this.

i heard its tree

every single time I went to see tree in the 90's, they didn't show. I thought they only played for pro-weed benefits.

If it's Tree I'm glad I can't make it.

hahaha

ya i could really care less if its Tree(which it prob isnt). I'm not sure im going to the show anyway

its prob snapcase or hatebreed

Who's the special guest? I feel like I should go because I skate but I'm not into the bands...granted I haven't heard half of them but still...

I finally got out of the house. be there in 40

ugh..there is going to be no parking i bet

d'uh

eh, im not going...awesome show but just not in the mood to drive there. hopefully the special guest is no one i care about

well, today isn't your day

ok, not sold out yet.
I think the surprise will be jasta singing with converge or something like that.

Not sold out YET? Fuck....I'm still at work and wont be there for 1.5 hrs if I go.

lol if thats the big surprise..everyone said a band was playing that was much bigger than converge.

it could be sold out by now. idk. it's very hot in here.

wasteland: low key set. Just a bunch of beards standing around. Their music was a lot different than what I vaguely remember. They sounded more like bsi or something.

new lows: the floor was cleared during their intro alone. That was sort of what the entire set was like. Well, not during the new songs, but all the old ones. For the the last song, the lights were out. With all the cameras there, it was like blinding machine gunfire. if you didn't get the memo, this is a very good band.

tree is the surprise

trash talk: no idea where they are from, but they were awsome. Very chaotic set. There is no room to move around, people jumping up on the crowd and I'm like the 4th photographer back. Every band, the number of cameras in the front multiplies by 2. By my guesstimations, there will be 1,652,958 people taking pictures of converge. The band its self was very good and you should check them out next friday.

did converge play yet?

pulling teeth is a goodtime, were playing with them and triac on jan 5

converge is settng up now.

show stopped no hb

sooooo what was the big surprise?

hb wouldn't have been it, but converge got shut down due to lack of time.

ive never understood why at a place where there is a curfew, they need to have five opening bands..........

you CAN do J oening bands if you keep things on time and be an asshole about it. unfortunately, everyone that would be an asshole is too busy with other jobs. the just need to get on it with timing.

maybe if they didnt waste time with the raffle or the large amounts of other bands converge could have played a full set... this show was very disappointing. converge put on a good show except for the fact that they played like 5 songs....


Fuck curfews

thats more like it rev.

pictures are uploading now.

It was a decent show, but it fucking sucks that they ran out of time.

And for some reason it was more humid in there then usual.

good time. trash talk was nasty, converge shoulda played longer.

did not care about hatebreed one bit. not disappointed in the slightest.

Oh my god it was hot. And yeah, they wasted a lot of time. Who books 5 fucking bands at a venue with a curfew? They didn't start on time, either. Plus the raffle took like 20 minutes.

i heard this was the first of many benefit shows that converge will do so there will be more.

the show was sick,
especially Converge.

the raffle took up some of Converge's set time
I was fucking pissed they didn't get to play the saddest day.

oh well I heard all my other favorites.
and despite the fact hatebreed was going to play,
some drunk guy tried getting everyone to my house
"somewhere in MA"

thing is, the bands probaly would have done it to.

all in all,
Converge put on the most amazing live set I've ever seen.
and the place was hot as hell.

awww converge is giving back to the kids

converge wouldn't have played the saddest day.

i think that was me.

yeah, you were trying to get hatebreed to play my place in NH or someone's house cause his parents were gone.

i doubt that hatebreed would have even played even if the show was running "on time".
have you ever seen this band the two or three times i saw them it took them over an hour after all their gear was set up.

pulling teeth: when I heard about these guys, I thought it was going to be another set of young kids looking all ultra cool and trendy. Then I saw a picture of them and realized that im a f'n moron. They were the first band that had all their stuff outside. That meant it was soaking wet when they were setting it up. I thought their set was going to be a bit more intense than it was. Maybe it was just the insanity of the trash talk set that made this seem as if it wasn't so crazy. I figure my pictures will be better at the walfare records show.

108: funny that im finally getting to see one of the bands that stems from the vishnu days of hardcore. Honestly, I only listened to the newest CD. They obviously have some opuses that I need to check out. The guitarist was the best part of the band. He show boated so much. Good stuff. He went through all the photographers on his side of the stage to grab a kid and getting him to stum his guitar, but the kid flipped and looked like a rabbit caught in a leg trap trying to get away. He then turned to the photoghers and banged his guitar on someone's camera. To mke a long story short, yeah, I jammed with him. First time I think I have ever touched a guitar on stage. We got a CD coming out on deathwish pretty soon now. Look for it after christmas at newbury comics. Question, am I a pussy cause my fingers hurt afterwards? They ended when you knew they could have kept playing for another 30 minutes. Always leave them wanting more I guess.

converge: yeah, it was pretty depressing that the show ended early. Converge always brings such amazing energy with their set. Funny how positive it really is when the lyrics are so jaded and/or dystopian. Just when the wave of crowd surfers, stage divers, sing alongs, and temperature was coming to a boiling point, the show came to a dead stop. Kurt's gear started cutting out right at the beginning of the set. A couple songs passed that, the elk's member who was running the place came to he stage and said it was over. Jake said "if this doesn't end the way it's suppose to, there are going to be a lot of disappointed kids." which of course the guy said that was a threat and then said there would be no more hardcore shows here if they played another song. Apologies all around and promises of another time around for this.
