Clutch
Russian Circles
Viking Skull
Caverns
9:30 Club
So it looks like the last time I was at 9:30 Club was over a year ago. They never book much that I want to see anymore, though.
This was a CD-release show for my favorite local instrumental rockers in Caverns. I missed the first part of their set but liked what I saw. There were some pretty rude hecklers, but I guess that's to be expected with a sold-out crowd hungry for Clutch. Caverns did not have their light friend, but I didn't have to worry about them falling off of the large 9:30 stage either.
Viking Skull I had not previously heard of but they're old skool metal from England. I thought it was pretty good and would probably check them out again since I wasn't paying too much attention to them. The bass player was wearing a Whitesnake shirt though.
I was really excited to see Russian Circles whom I missed both with Coheed and earlier this year at the Ottobar. Again with the heckling of instrumental rockers! Some guy punched me square in the back for no reason too. Fucking asshole.
Right before Clutch came on I decided to had to move because two people who were so drunk they couldn't stand came up beside me and there were some Army dudes immediately behind me talking about how they were going to pummel people twice their size once Clutch started. So I just ended up being annoyed by one Army guy, some farty dude in a hxc hat and a big fat ass. Fortunately I was not annoyed by Clutch who played a very solid hour and a half set with minimal talking. Overall it was a very satisfying show and a good way to close out 2008. My feet didn't even hurt at the end.
