27 - Tremendous Show

Just got home from 27's show at Heather's HideAway. Wow.

I haven't done one of these in a while ( and I hopefully will have something on this entire weekend soon - but the show tonight just couldn't wait.

First Dana Seals and the Robots started off the show. I personally thought she did a wonderful job. It was just her on her acoustic guitar and one other on a snare drum. She gave tremendous effort and reminded me of the girl in the movie Chasing Amy.

Neverbefore came on the stage next. They did an abridged set that sounded better than anytime I have seen them before. They picked up the beat and jammed out the 8.5' monster song to wrap up their set.

27 went on next. Where to begin? Wow. First let me back up a bit. When I arrived I wandered over to their merch table and began browsing over their CD's for sale. They had all their albums I mentioned in the other post. I couldn't decide which ones I wanted - so I just got them all. The total of my purchase was $27, go figure. Those that know me will note that I usually do not buy this many CDs at a show, so now I won't be buying anymore for a few weeks. They also had some free sample CDs they were giving away and Ayal gave me another sample CD that had Isis, the group taking them to already sold out shows in Japan in about a month, just so I could get a sample of them. Thanks Ayal!!

One of the CD's they were signing for me was mostly black (Songs From the Edge of the Wing) and I dug out my silver sharpie. This was the first time any of them had seen a silver sharpie and they kept commenting on it. After they finished signing the CDs I told Maria that they could keep the sharpie. She was so appreciative they she got me to sign the pen with my black sharpie. When they took the stage the first song was The Cause (one of the songs in the download section of Team Rock). The third song she dedicated to me - for the silver sharpie - from the new release Let the Light In and the song was Every Day. The rest of the set was filled with both new and older songs that each had their own unique style. One minute it would be hypnotic and serene and the next they were blistering the guitars. They even had the crickets accompanying the song off their second album Animals. After the show Maria still wanted to so something for me giving her the silver sharpie and told me that she would send me some of their posters that they forgot to bring to the show. This was going well beyond anything I had meant to come about for giving a $1.00+ silver sharpie. What a great group!

Descolada out of Asheville was next. They agreed to go on after 27 because the show got off to a late start and 27 had traveled so much in past few days. This show was fantastic! They have a really progressive sound and great musical sounds mixed in with hard and heavy riffs. My favorite parts were the violin powered over the other sounds. The violin gave their music a bigger than life quality and really set the other music off nicely. Bravo!

At this point there was still one group left that I didn't know was on the bill but I couldn’t stay any longer. I shouldn't have even posted this, but I wanted to get it down while it was still ebbing out of my system.

If you missed 27's show make sure you catch them when they return. They said they definitely would be back.

Hiretsukan (which is Japanese for "Bastard" or "despicable person") will be at Heather's HideAway on March 23rd(a week from today). They are from the New York / Maryland area and are a female fronted hardcore band. They have one album entitiled "Invasive//Exotic" which is 10 songs in about 16 minutes (including a cover of Metallica's 'Creeping Death' which should sound quite different). I have been in contact with Dave from the band and he gave the go ahead to post their song "Barrel Roll" which is posted for download to the right.

If you like hard core, these guys (and Gal) are a must see.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK...

Last night BIG/GUN, an AC/DC tribute band, thrilled a big crowd at Knoxville's BLUE CAT'S. The show featured some great props - Hell's Bell, 'For Those about to Rock' Cannons, Angus money, and more. Though the guys in BIG/GUN don't really resemble the famous Aussies, the music and vocals were dead on target. It was the stoutest Angus I'd ever seen, but effective. Check out their website for upcoming shows. This is a must see show for AC/DC fans as well as any true fan of rock'n'roll!

To help enable the moral, spiritual, physical, and mental development of kids residing in Johnson City.

The Coalition For Kids is a Christ-centered joint venture of various religious, civic, governmental, business, industrial, and private organizations and individuals working together to provide an infrastructure for the development and operation of various programs for the children of low income and other families.

Volunteer Opportunities -
* Supper for 50 Kids Once A Week Or Month Or Bi-Monthly
* Wednesday Evening - Church Youth Groups for Children's Program During School Year
* Computer Technician and Teachers
* Volunteer To Put Together A Newsletter Every Quarter
* Basketball Coaches/Mentors

If interested please phone (423)434-2031

The Coalition began as a grassroots effort in 1998 when area business leaders and concerned citizens created the Coalition for Kids, Inc. to help children and youth make better choices and have a better "balanced life". Our 9,700 square foot community center called "The Rock" was purchased, renovated, and donated by concerned local business owners. The Grand Opening was held February 27, 1999 (with over 500 in attendance) marking the beginning of our endeavor to make the concept of changing the lives of children a reality.

The Rock Community Center is now the vibrant hub of this east Johnson City neighborhood. The neighborhood consists of lower-income families, having a high percentage of single parent households. With over 530 children within a one mile radius of the Rock, we are making a powerful impact in these young lives. The changes we have brought to our community are exciting and gratifying.
