Last night was the 9th annual Jay Brown Memorial Show, hosted by none other than Hoon Trash himself. The man has put up with no end of abuse and whining over the years, and all so this thing can keep going. I have nothing but respect for the man. I don't know too many others who would put up with the shit that he has, in the name of putting on a benefit show year after year. And it was awesome, as always. Seven bands played, and we even finished early!
Reds from Vancouver were tight poppy Fat Wreckchords style of music. Not my thing, good at what they did, but the singer should NOT have smashed himself in the face with a fucking beer glass. To his credit, he did apologize. There was blood all over the stage, but Logan's staff and other volunteers were quick to clean it all up.
The Mags were kick ass rock and roll with an edge. I always enjoy seeing these guys play.
Old Derelicts, also from Vancouver, were old school hardcore/punk, and they were fucking amazing. Jay Flett, (singer), yells it from the heart. He is a survivor.
The Gnar Gnars were tight, funny and rude. Definitely not the type of lyrics you'd hear from me, but I couldn't help but laugh during their set. And musically, they were great.
The Frostbacks did their Forgotten Rebels/Ramones inspired Canadian pop punk, and wore their coats during their entire set! I would have melted up there. Again, lots of fun.
The Keg Killers featured three members of the Frostbacks in the band, and again, they were fucking fun. With Dustin on vocals, how could they not be?
And then, we played. Great times, especially finishing off with the AWT anthem. Mayhem and chaos.
Another great night was had. It was wonderful seeing everybody. Let's do it again, okay? Okay.
