I went to see Big Business last night. The crowd was filled with so many inexplicable goatees and Mike Patton fan boys that it was truly disgusting. While I should be happy that these aging metal heads aren't listening to Nu-Metal, its still a shame to see people who still smoke pot after turning 30. The crowd aside the show was fucking rad. That is, after the 30 minute flash cartoon that "opened" the show.
On a whim I went to see the Black Lips at Emos on Friday. It was sold out by the time I got there, but the door guy let me in after kicking a bunch of ruffians out. It was a pretty cool scene inside. In front of the stage, sweaty kids were throwing beer into the air and colliding exuberantly. The band had rotating cast of bass players who played a few songs each before retreating back to the bar.
