...And you will know us by the Trail of Dead.

Last night Mya, Jerry, and I came out of First Ave. with the bloodiest of ears. This was well expected, the loudest of all Indie turned Major rock bands, Trail of Dead performed an energetic and destructive show. I've never seen a group of roadies kept so busy as I did last night. They were constantly reconstructing drum sets (yes, they have two drummers), picking up speakers, and fixing guitar strings. With three opening bands this made for a late night.

A promotional group was there for Dentyne who were selling an immediately recorded double disk of the night's show. I saved $5 by buying one of the promotional girls a drink whom in return hooked me up with a disk.

For all you Motorhead fans; there is a new band from the hometown of ToD called The Sword who proved to reincarnate 80's Butt Rock. If you like Motorhead, Pantera, or any of these types of bands you will like The Sword, otherwise stay away, they suck.
