Opening the show was a band from Athens GA they where a very lucky band to be added to this show. I think anyone in the punk genre would find it an honor to be playing with a band with such stature as the Adicts. The band Burns Like Fire facebook.com/burnslikefiremusic remind me of some of the bands from the stillnotdead www.stillnotdead.com shows. With the punk rock attitude sounding much like a mix of harmonizing dirty punk. As usual when you go on first you don't always have the biggest crowd. I like to think that is when it really counts for a band. You have to prove your worth as a band and put on a good show. Your energy can control the show just as much as the amount of people you are playing with. Either way a show is a show and if you can just make at least one person like you it can plant the seed and open doors. Its funny how when u show up Earlie to a show, not only do you get your money's worth but you take the chance of finding out about new awesome and at times horrible bands. I myself would like to see Burns Like Fire again.
As the night goes it's always interesting to see how many people end up there at the end of it all. Watching the crowd shift from band to band between sets. The second band of the night was Ralph. Might I say wow! I was blown away and so excited to hear a new punk band sounding so much like the old school punk.So upbeat and in your face. makes me so happy how each generation takes on an old sound and makes it, its own. we are coming into the era of punk again and it feels good. For those bands who have stuck it out and didn't make it before or just didn't give a shit. They are coming back and I am loving it.

In closing the night where The Adicts www.adicts.us/. I must say it got a little frustrating to wait tell they came on standing around for almost and hour but it was so rewarding when they came out. Playing a set list for about two hours long, now that is what I call a performance. Can I just say even though I have never seen them before wow they are just as good now as they where in the past amazingly mind blowing one of the best damn shows i have ever been to. I have been to many shows for all types of music. They had so much energy and the make up and confetti all the toys and antics, the sea of fans all over. The set list was pretty much every fav. song of mine. from the most popular viva la revolution to chines take away. I had to make my way to the front and as always it was more than worth it. I will definitely go to every show they play out this way and might even consider a vacation to see them somewhere else.
It was such an Amazing time and a show I will never forget.
