Donnybrook, Grave Maker, Horseburner, Heart Holds True, Pool Party-04/28/10

Pool Party-Sorry we were so sloppy everyone. Our guitarist Nick hurt his hand at the Huntington show on Saturday, and hadsome trouble playing. Thanks to everyone who watched us though!

Heart Holds True-Tight set. Always enjoy seeing them play. Good dudes.

Horseburner- WOW. Not gonna lie, I was kind of iffy. But I was seriously blown away by this band. I genuinely enjoyed the whole set. Was my first time seeing them, won't be the last.

Grave Maker-I forgot how good this band was live. Played everything I wanted to hear. Was such a good set.

Donnybrook-They were so much better at UB Fest. Almost positive that they were wasted. Other then that, good set. They gave a shout out/dedicated a song to Pool Party and one to The Brickhouse. haha. Nice dudes though.

-Sloppy set
-Unloading gear at 1:30am
-Double bass pedal broke. AWESOME.
-Drunkeness.

Pool Party- Not bad, bummer about Nick's hand and TJ's Bass Pedal.

Heart Holds True- What the hell was nick playing? Plus me being a lazy ass and not bringing gear ever didn't help

Horseburner- This band made me having to pay $200 out of pocket to keep from getting stabbed by Donnybrook worth it.

Grave Maker- Was ok with their set until they indirectly shit talked Dana about saying playing to 20 people could be awkward, I'm pretty sure Dana has had we more experince playing to larger crowds than those little Victory Records asshats. If you love playing to 20 people then you wouldn't have a $400 price on your tours.

Donnybrook- Worst drummer ever. Shit was stupid. Not a fan, at all.

This was basically it for me in booking shows with money involved. I'll help out smaller touring bands, but if you're asking for money you're out of luck. Anyone who knows how I book knows that I never leave with any money, everything that comes through the doors goes to the bands, no exceptions. I apologize completely to Horseburner for having to leave without any cash, and I can assure you that it'll never happen again with any show that I book.

Pool Party - to sloppy
Heart Holds True - good shit havent seen dana in like 3 years
Horseburner - good for what they do but not my thing
Gravemaker - amazing, extremely tight
Donnybrook - changed since the last time i seen them and got way better

Pool Partys cover of linkin park
30 ppl at the show
2 hour drive

now why was donnybrook gonna stab Horseburner?

They weren't going to do anything to Horseburner. The shitty turnout caused me to be short on what they thought they should be paid, therefore causing them to find it necessary to threaten me.

hmm, I see.

Our set was sloppy as hell. Was not pumped on it.

It was all worth it to see Horseburner though. Best band in WV in my opinion. Hopefully they bring their merch to the Shamrock's shows.

Also, I'm glad Dwayne was not stabbed.

Pool Party - A little sloppy, but nothing really noticeable. But dudes looked like they were having fun which is important. I think it would have been really cool in a bigger crowd with a bunch of people getting into it. First time hearing 'em, hope to catch 'em again!

Heart Holds True - I really wish the bassist would have been able to make it, but I have to say I really enjoyed it anyway. It was good to see Dana doing his thing, too. I used to love seeing Holden Caulfield back in the day. But yeah, really solid.

Horseburner - We had a lot of fun playing, despite the small turn out. We're used to that, haha. We weren't sure how well we went over, but we had a blast either way.

Gravemaker - I liked the dude's drum set a lot. But I stayed outside for most of their set. Not my thing.

Donnybrook - Stayed outside. Some more.

Fun time playing
Meeting some cool people
IHOP on the way home was the greatest experience of my life.

Small turnout
The headlining bands... haha

I really appreciate the kind words guys. We wanna come and play with y'all again as soon as we can.
Got to thank Dwayne one more time for bringing us down, too.

PS, does anyone know who was taking the pictures and if we can get a hold of the ones he took during our set?

The dude taking pictures is Chris Moore. He is going to get a hold of you guys soon. His stuff is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/obsolete_images/. He usually gets photos up in a few days

Sweet, thanks loads dude.

Pool Party - A little sloppy on Drop Dead, but thats the only thing I heard mess up wise. First time I heard the Linkin Park cover, and it was okay. I lol'd when Brandon started singing 99 problems during it. I was upset there was no Hatebreed cover though

Heart Holds True - I missed their set while I was going to the gas station :/

Horseburner - WOW. Way out of place on the show, but so fucking good. They have potential to be really big one day.

Grave Maker - They were better last time, but they were still so good.

Donnybrook - Their set was as hard as it was entertaining. They're a bunch of cool dude's (besides the whole threatening part)

Maybe Donnybrook can use the $300 to pay for some drum lessons?

I'm demanding a $300 minimum per person anytime Horseburner plays from now on.


That's how you get popular...right?

Drugs will make you popular.

Pool Party - Awesome dudes, good times, and thanks for letting Dwayne's lazy butt borrow your drums AGAIN.

Heart Holds True - We were way sloppy and didn't have a bass player. I'm pretty sure Nick forgot how to play all of our songs.

Horseburner - RULED. Brooke was in town with Christian (our baby) and we needed to get him home to bed, so I missed most of their set. Bummer.

Grave Maker - Met one of the guys as I was leaving and he was really nice. I guess he misunderstood me saying that I could just talk to everyone there without the mic since there weren't a lot of people there as me talking crap about the amount of people there. That wasn't the case. Oh well.

Donnybrook - I always thought this band was terrible so I wasn't upset about missing them.
