Last night was our showcase and things went pretty well. We borrowed equipment which is always hard for us. As a group, we come from a rather punk background, but when it comes to sharing equipment and everything we really are babies. Of course, the guys from Aloke have always been insanely awesome when it comes to helping us out, so it is easy to let our silly worries drift away in their kindness.

It was a great night and we were able to see good friends rock. The best part was generally seeing everyone's improvement. I am not saying any band was bad in the past, but rather it was fun to see the great get greater. Aloke added a second guitarist, which added to their power. They also have come off of a great recording with Albini, so they were totally on their game. The Subjects also brought along the rock. The vocals were loud and awesome. They also rock the drums something crazy. I'm a huge drummer fan. Speaking of drums, The End of the World had Stephan, the lead singer, beating down the rhythm. This really was a cool image and sound as it brought out different feelings in the songs I hadn't heard from them before.

A nice dance party wrapped things up and all were happy and spent. Thanks!
