I saw Lord Dying for the first time a year ago today - also their own first time playing to a crowd. They've played basically the same set every time I've seen them since. Today they played a new song. It was great. I'm glad they've lasted a year and hope there are at least a few more years (and a few more songs) to come.

As for the rest of the experience: no. I hate the sun, I hate heat, I hate how nowhere I go has any air conditioning, I hate holidays, I hate weekenders, I hate outdoor shows, I hate lines, I hate waiting, I hate crowds, fuck "socializing", and fuck you. I should have known better than to leave the house with my "day after" brain for a show taking place 15 hours after the last one. I left before I saw anyone else.

But, good to see some of my favorite local bands (still) doing well in terms of crowd and attention. Let's do next time on a rainy weekday indoors, though.

Next Rabbits show: 8/9 Bunk Bar (and 9/9 Ash Street for MFNW)
Next Lord Dying show: 7/18 East End
Next Danava show: 7/22 Rotture
Next Red Fang show: who knows? I'd guess September-ish, though.
