First let me say, DRS sucked. I apologize to the other bands, some of who saw us for the first time. That was a debacle, and not up to our usual standards. Anyway about those other bands.

7 0f 9. First time for me. They brought straight up rock. Enjoyed their set. That Tama Star Classic set is sweet!

237 despite having technical difficulties (no fault of their own) kicked ass. Sid was locked in w/ drummer Scutt while Jared played some sick techical guitar. Killer chord progressions and Greg has a great voice. I really enjoyed the drumming, dude you were great.

Cold Snap also pulled off a great set. Good songs, the vocals were great, you all seemed very comfortable on the stage. Another excellent drummer.

When Darkness Falls has not failed to deliver their unique brand of sonic assault every time I have seen them. Your guys are so enthusiastic and Bucky slays on the drums every time. \m/ Fuck yeah!!

We were basically schooled, and feel humbled by all of these great bands. We're in the studio tomorrow night, but hopefully w'ell have a chance to redeem ourselves soon...

Don't worry Animal, shit happens! But anybody who has caught you guys play in the past know "DRS" is one of ABQ's best bands around!

Dude you guys sounded great! I loved your set personally. That was just an all around fun night. Wasn't the most packed show ever but a good time was definitely had by all. It was definitely cool meeting everyone we hadn't met before.

Thanks for the props man! We appreciate that!

WDF and DRS rocked our faces off. Lots of fun had by all! I got to catch Coldsnap's set too so that was cool. I had never seen them before.. Good stuff.


(In my own opinion) It was cool to see everyone play on the lunchbox stage even though the sound was fucking shit for crap. Reeeeeeeevvvvvvvrrrrrbbbb.... That sound dude was having a bad night and it showed. It showed through his work and through his character. Everything was way super muddy among other things... But I didn't tell him how to do his job because he has been known to bark back at the bands... Maybe I'll just buy him a coke next time to calm him down.
(End of my own opinion)

Other than THAT, it was fun.. everyone from all the bands are way cool.
