Lunchbox Anniversary Part: 1.5

The Fucked Up in-store could not have ended up any better. Everything got moved super duper early, so when the band got there we were already moving stuff and we didn't look like douche bags. While everyone else ate lunch, Damian hung out at the store and bought every Antiseen related record we had, and then bought a bunch of stuff that was way out of left field.
A ton of people ended up coming, though not too many, which I was kind of worried about. The show went off without a problem, the band played for a long time, and did a few covers, and then they played a KBD song really poorly with damian playing drums and the drummer playing guitar. It was awesome.
Dan Smith moshed and I wanted to punch him except it was the most happy I've seen him in ages, and one of the only times I've seen him really get into a band in a long time.



I'd never really paid attention to the drumming on the records, but holy shit is he good in person



They had a bunch of stuff with them, and ended up parking their giant ass van on the grass in front of the store. Josh also did a long-ass interview with a few of the guys in the band that included questions about axle rose, who they voted for, slumberland records, and minor threat.

Lunchbox Party: Part 1

The Graf Orlock, Lewd Acts, Lowbrow show on Friday went really really well. over 100 people ended up showing up, and so many people payed that we ended up being able to give the local band some money (normally 100% of the door money is given to people on tour, the store and locals never take a cut).

Lowbrow played the best set I've seen them play. A bunch of the songs I didn't like were cut out, and the new songs are way longer and more intense. Brandon is getting better and better as a front man every show. I didn't get any pcitures of them because I was too busy explaining that gas isn't free to kids trying to sneak in behind other people.

Graf Orlock was super duper fast and the samples were just as over the top as I hoped they would be. They played a pretty great set, and played the only song that I really wanted to hear (the jurassic park one) and people seemed to be really into them


mosh

Apparently Levi really likes this band


Lewd Acts were the band most people were there to se (I guess?). I've never been to crazy about this band, and the crowd I've seen them attract aren't the people that I share a lot in common with, but this band put on an awesome show. the singer is just relentless and the bass player is great to watch, plus he plays really really well.




I liked Lewd Acts enough that I bought their new 7", which isn't nearly as good as their live show, or the socialcide lp I got the same day. The first day of the Lunchbox Records 3 year anniversary ended really well, except that we spent so fucking long moving the shelves that the show ended up starting a little late, but it was no big deal.
