anywho evan was putting the show together and we were just waiting for one last band to open it. hive filled that demand so that would be why. its 6 weeks from now so i guess terms are subject to change.
how much longer has hivesmasher been around than your band? how often do they play? how many times have they toured?
obviously the biggest draw is going to be both composted and hivesmasher, and to put your own band second to last is a douchebag move. who are you, rick ta life?
I remember when nobody knew who Hivesmasher was and they always asked Sacreligion to hook em up with shows but we were on our way out. That would never happen now if we were still a band LOL.
Also, if Tom's booking the show it's a fair assessment that there will be a lot of Worcester peeps there that have no idea who Hivesmasher is. Just sayin...
Honestly, it would make more sense for HS to play later and Schaphism earlier, just as a general unwritten law of show booking. Just playing devil's advocate here.
The main point behind having Hivesmasher on later is that they've "paid their dues." They've played many, many shows, often with the least desirable time slots. All bands must go through this process. Either way, I don't really care too much personally, just stating how things usually work in a general sense.

i'm just saying that i posted the information that was provided to me and i do however agree with many points discussed in here. more information to come gentlemen. in the mean time... rejoice in the fact that a good show is in the works that will be enjoyable to many.
We'll play whenever, who gives a fuck. Everyone knows that 2nd to last is always the best time to play, but every band has to play at some point in the night, so whatever.
We're just stoked on playing with such an awesome lineup.
I mean, any one of these bands could headline/2nd to last and it would be awesome!
Basically this lineup is legendary!
set list was pretty much a rough draft being that Hivesmasher was the last band to confirm. with this massive line up pretty much no one should have to open
i know, xgodzillax you can open and we will all stand outside while eating pizza!
we love playing in allston, as we all live in Boston it's usually a pretty good time. (except the friggin day after the NEDF.....although that lineup fucking killed too.)
I just can't believe we get to play with three bands that:
A I actually like.
I am indeed. Hopefully it'll be done before the weekend.

I just read over this thread instead of skimming to the bottom to bump it.
First off, thank you for the niceness our buddies are throwing our way, but its true. No one knows who we are, but after 4+ years, we'd hope the ones who truely matter to US would. (Cliche moment warning)We do this for us, and the people who are willing to listen. We'd rather play obriens or a filthy basement over a club anyday.
Secondly, we would have played any slot. We just came off our 2 month hiatus and are finally back on the proverbial ball. Regardless, Comp, Boar, and FuckIMSig, we fully back any decision made by you whipper snappers.
The only thing we're truely concerned about, is the responce to our brand new material, and what beers we're going to drink at Sunset Grill before hand.

you will drink pabst at obs with me and like it.
but yes. don't care about the spot on the show. every band is equally as good or better than all the others for their own reasons, which is why this will be a ton of fun.
I remember when nobody knew who Hivesmasher was and they always asked Sacreligion to hook em up with shows but we were on our way out. That would never happen now if we were still a band LOL.
if only we could have played that fox common show with you nig nogs back in september of whatever year....2005ish?

Well, whether or not you practice in Allston, at least half your band is from Worcester, right? Not that it makes ANY difference, just pointing that out.
So what time will we be goings ons? I would assume 9 or 9:30, but if we could find out for sure it would be great.

word home slice. Also if you're asking the man questions anyways, could you find out how much time we have? Due to Damon's Bday we have a surprise for the show and we wanna make sure we save time for it.

yea we havent played too many boston shows yet, we have some christening to do
ill open the show by farting into the microphone, calling you all a bunch of niggers and shoving my fingers down my throat so i can puke in toms face. FIGHT ME OR YOURE A PUSSY. <3
the technique is a total mystery to me. lung strength/capacity doesn't help you at all. i think it's an overlooked instrument in gutteral death metal...

seriously, being a death metal vocalist didn't help me at all. its that circular breathing.
i already had a few toms on my contact list, so I put you in there as poon fingers since one of the first things I remember reading on this site was how the smell of good poon lingers on your fingers all day. hahaha.
Doors at 9:00pm. obriens closes at 1am so with these set times if anyone ends up going over their set time a little (boarcorpse i know you have some extra surprise planned) it shouldn't be a problem

awesome. thanks a lot duder. our surprise should put a smile on to just about eveyone's face.
Well, here's the deal with that. I was trying to make sure there was cabs Eric could use, and asked Tom about it. (we do appreciate it by the way) and then MFR told me we could use both of Composted's Cabs. Either way, we're bringing ours to the show saturday so who ever's cab we do use can use ours then. Anyways, it will all go smoothly, i'm sure. This show is gonna rule.
Not having to drive around for an hour to find a parking spot would be so amazing if it were at all possible tonight.
But it's not. Allston. Fuck.
Sure it is, on Cambridge st. between Harvard Ave. (obriens) and brighton ave/northbeacon (grasshopper/model). There's always 2 hour (before 6pm) spots you can get. I know my band/friends park on that road 90% of the time. The other 10% is usually on the road that runs Parallel to cambridge st BEHIND the allston practice spaces. To get to the area go on Harvard ave like you're gonna pull into the sports depot, then take a left on the road opposite it.
i am excessively happy that i can play violent music tonight...this week sucks so much and i am in dire need of a release.
I second that. this has been the week from hell financially, and I am so looking forward to getting drunk and insanely high for the next three days to take my mind off of it.

I'm always worried I'm going to get raped when walking back to my car when I park over there.

Come and talk to me and i can help you with part of that.
getting there at 8. i will bring my camera, but o'briens really sucks for photo-taking because of their shitty lights.
sometimes shitty lights make for more exciting pictures?
very true. normally I don't mind taking pics in shitty lighting conditions, but I am without my portable flash, so it will be harder. however, I do have a flash built in on my SLR, but it is very very bright. I always feel bad using it on bands because I feel like it's really distracting.
Tagging a moving ambulance with a Hivesmasher sticker = great idea, poor execution.
HEHE, really? Wow...... how'd that go?
EVERYONE ELSE: last night ruled. Thanks to all for coming out so early, and thanks to all of the other bands. Everyone killed as usual... highlights for me were Yeti & MFR dancing on stage. Excellent moves.
the reason I ask was later when you and Mark pulled up the car to unload, the girl she was with was saying your sister didn't know you guys....Wren was standing right there when she said it too...it was weird
I was feeling like assssss so I showed up late. I got there shortly after Hivesmasher started I believe. Sounded fucking. Good thing I can catch all the other bands tomorrow. I'll be there nice and early for that one.

This show was fucking great. Pumped for the show tomorrow night in Woo-town.
Highlight of the night for me had nothing to do with the bands, but rather the guy blasting his motorcycle radio, revving his engine, and then blasting down harvard ave like a bad ass bat out of hell. Simply amazing.
we got different moms, so she grew up in southie and i grew up in quincy. so she probably knows how to street brawl, steal car radios, and all that other tricky southie ninja shit for all i know haha
yup thats my sister. that was the first time meeting her friend though. i dunno what shes talking about haha. girls are weird
here is the convo I had with her friend after you and Mark pulled up
friend: "what is she doing?! she doesn't know those guys!"
me: "that's Dave and Mark"
friend: "we don't know them"
me: "Dave just intorduced her to me as his sister"
friend: "yea, but we don't know them"
haha i think her friend was drunk. my sisters name is amy mcdonough. my real name is dave mcdonough. she's on my facebook friends. i'll step in and be a little protective here. dont everybody go and add her haha
i dunno, my sister did scream cock! before or after we played land on a cock.
but yes haha please refrain. keep a couple things in mind too.
a.)her and i are both kinda batshit crazy.
b.)her and i both pretty much have the same personality. so thinking dirty thoughts about her is kinda like thinking dirty thoughts about me. only in a better looking version. i guess. i dunno some people might think its cool to think dirty thoughts about me though oooh lala aww haw haw ;) wink wink nudge nudge.
