Sam Black Church @ The Palladium, Oct 28 2023

The Kings are back! Shout out to my boy Dennis for battling a curse and an illness to still make it just in time for SBC's first song.  Dedication. 


TBH didn't get many photos or videos cause I was too busy having fun up front.  Here are pics from returntothepit.com and Tinnitus Photography.

There was a huge merch line, and some killer merch. Love the bright orange color, which reminds me of an old metal/hardcore album cover... Toxic Narcotic, Trip Hammer?


Lots of amazing t-shirts being worn as well:
- Loads of Tree shirts
- Raw Radar War in the style of Bolt Thrower
- OLW Teeming Billions (from the Julie Duffy fund raiser)

Plus 






I missed Scissorfight but caught Leeway and Killing Time.  Eddie Leeway is still hanging in there, 2 years with cancer. Did not look good but he was still doing his thing.  KFG.  This is my second time seeing Killing Time in 6 months.  Great band, crowd was really into them and I get a kick out of the lead singer (aka The Teletubby).  Don't forget:  "duct tape works on everything", he says as the guitar player is repairing his strap mid show.

Yours truly is in the above shot

SBC played for about an hour and 15 minutes.  Great set list covering the whole purple album and a wide range from Let in Life and the 'red album', plus locked unit 98.  Jett crowd surfed on me a bunch of times and I got the mic for one instance on Disco Inferno - Burn Baby Burn!! 


Also ran into Big Mike and when he picked me up (as he does), I think the crowd was getting ready for a fight LOL.  Jett finished the show from the floor in the pit and then hung out afterwards to shake hands, take photos etc.  What a guy.
