Shock, Rochester, NY
w/ Pengo, Sneaky
Dragon | |
First off, it's important to
note (for Beefmaster fans if no one else) the troups had to travel through
the Town of Chili to get to the gig... A sign? Well, don't get your hopes
up too high for there was in fact a 'situation'. apparently someone not
directly involved with putting the show on had booked another group from
Arizona, never telling anyone else. The band showed up and was certainly
disappointed by the audience and lack of p.a. system. though I don't
remember the name, their brand of music was in the punk vein. John, the
guy putting on the show and a great guy in general, did his best to
appease all fronts. The group did play after Sneaky Dragon. Then Pengo got
up and worked their way toward a satisfying drone-groove. Aaron started
the Son of Earth set playing a few numbers solo to impress a family
friend, then Matt and John turned on.. A wonderful coherent set. It seems
the tour had got the guys to get right to it in the music. Afterwards,
they headed to Jason's house (of Pengo). This was certainly the best time
on tour. Great folks and a great atmosphere. |
