The original country x hardcore crossover band returns!
I missed these guys at the second to last SBC reunion show in 2018? 2013? And I don't think I ever saw them back in the day.
But first.
It was a stacked line up with a diverse set of bands. Steve (of Stevefest fame) and I hit Pinocchios first and enjoyed the beautiful night in Our Fair City.
We arrived in time for the Welch Boys, who were a better version of the Dropkick Murphys. They had a song called Pete Townsend is a Pervert. Who knew?!
T-Shirts seen: Public Enemy, a great Witness shirt, 2 battle vests and lots of Tree and SBC (including 2 young gentlemen who will come up later). I had my Arm the Homeless reprint and got several compliments.
White Dynomite was next and opened with the track White Dynomite from the album White Dynomite. The lead singer was Dexter from The Offspring, with Tim Katz (roadsaw) on bass and a SMOKIN' drummer. The song Werewolf Underwear had a great Danzig riff in the middle.
Big Mike and Steve joined me front and center for HB. Being literally right against the stage means that when the pit starts you get wrecked as your legs are broken being smashed into the knee high stage floor. The full body fence is my preferred way to destroy myself since your full body takes the blow.
The SBC shirt wearing "youths", their dad and several other old timers got it started when Kemosabi came on 2 songs in. A few songs later the same yoots got into a fight, knocking someone to the floor. See ya later, as everyone got ejected.
The setlist was a great mix of old and new, including deep cuts from the first album.
The band was super tight and it was so great to see Claude and Eric locked in for every song. What a rhythm section.
