just got back from the strungout show at irving plaza
rufio - they suck and they sound like new found glory/ fenix tx wannabe's and i hate both groups. plus i recognized their crappy songs that my roommate used to play. the funniest part of their set though was when the bassist screams into the mic for no reason 'FUCK YOU'. it was so lame i had to laugh
rise against - thursday type band (at least thats how i viewed them). thought they sucked. at least when i saw thursday they didn't sound as weak as these guys.
poison the well - uuhh, i guess they were good (i thought they stunk). didn't pay to much attention cause it sounded like the lead singer was barking. the music was nice and heavy though. i watched some kids near me get into a fight. that was cool. some kid got punched when he was standing like five feet from me, and was so close to crying. had a nice fat lip too.
strungout - i guess it was because of where i was standing, but i couldn't hear the vocals to good. i only know about 7 strungout songs to begin with, but the ones i didn't know sounded pretty cool. they played mostly knew stuff which i never listened to. overall i liked them :thumbs-up:
but the best part of the night was on the way home i saw the guy with no legs from the movie kids on the 4 train. he wasn't singing his 'i have no legs' song but i gave him a dollar anyway. i'm nice like that. i wanted to talk to him and ask if that was him, but i felt kind of bad.
side note - why do so many singers, especially in punk, sound like they've been kicked in the nuts? i hate that
