What an epic weekend of gigs, dancing and general mayhem! Two gigs this weekend: a local gig featuring my housemates' and friends' band Gravedale High, a horror punk band run by Dave, at the Marquee pub. They were pretty good. Much better than they were last Halloween, mostly because they've been practicing once a week. I must say I like Adrian's vocals for the whole thing too, because they are so gruff and manly. While the sound wasn't very good, the gig was still fun. The other band I paid some attention to was a ska group called Stick Man Army. Mostly dancing at that one, which was fun. Ska is good, but not always my thing, you know. These guys were good live, though.
The other gig was much bigger. It was at UEA: Cannibal Corpse and Children of Bodom. It was epic. It was loud. It was... death metal. I have to say that CoB is more my thing, but both were good. The opening act was pretty good too, but I can't recall their name. I'll have to ask Chris later. I think the best part of Cannibal Corpse was the fact that their singer, who guest stars on Metalocalypse sometimes, was in fact wearing a Dethklok shirt. If I had the money, I totally would have bought one of their shirts. Even though I liked Bodom more, you can't beat a Cannibal Corpse shirt. They are more cult and awesome. Whats better, I got to talk to their bassist Alex Webster, got his signature and photo, and told him that he should write a song called Cock Cancer. So watch out on their next album. I may have contributed.
