Fridays show was not a success. In fact, not even half of the bands had the chance to play. The cops showed up during the Wilderness set around 9:30p.m., which sucked for them and all the other bands who were still left to play (about 7 bands). They called the owner of the house prior to showing up & threatened them with a 300 fine. They We tried moving the show to another location, but no one would allow us. Sadly, no kids got their cash back.
Saturdays show was the same set up. It was an 11 band show that was supposed to start early, but low & behold IT STARTED LATE & THE COPS SHOWED UP AGAIN! Word was the owner of the house had a permit so all the bands were under the impression that we/they would get to play. Lies spread like wildfire. Anyway, long story short, shitty situation got fixed as we moved the backyard gig to a garage in West Covina with all our best friends! It was amazing to say the least amount of words. We borrowed Deadhead's equipment (thanks guys) & went after them. The show was tons of fun & really embodied what we believe true hardcore punk should be. Thanks to everyone who went to the Whittier house & came to the West Covina garage after. We play again this Thursday with Deadhead. Should be a fun night!
