Kickoff at the Funhouse
The Funhouse in Seattle, WA
w/ Nasalrod, Slave Traitor, and The Vatican
Well, this is different: we've never gone out on the road with a band before. I hadn't seen Nasalrod since they kicked my ass at The Kraken... and they sorta intimidated me last night-- they're so uptempo and rocking that I watched their set with two parallel thoughts:
“These guys are awesome. I'm so glad we're going on the road with them.”
and
“Damnit. How are we supposed to follow this?”
Which is just something that happens in my head... it wasn't actually an issue. We played last, of course, since we were on our home turf (Nasalrod will close the Portland show), and the whole gig went pretty damn well. It was great to see Slave Traitor again-- it's been a while-- and I'd never seen The Vatican before. Then again, I'd never seen one of Slave Traitor's fabled fistfights/wrestling matches... that was a new one.
We attempted to keep the group together and crash at The Josephine, just to get us on the road at a reasonable hour. It worked... kind of. Still-- the theory was sound. The Spokane show started at 5:00PM, and we had a long drive ahead of us.
