Laymen-Terms 8/23/02

A night at the Sheriffs Posse, by Chad (the 2nd cutest Napier boy)


As with most shows they have to start sooner, usually later. this one indeed started at a far past your bedtime, quarter till 9: PM Happy bad day (huh, oh yea, so before they were area 52, hooray for moments of inspiration lending themselves to new band names) started up rocking their 13 year old girlfriend faction gathered terrified near the side speakers, If you were one who accidentally stopped huffing for an instant and received a moment of pure unadulterated Happy bad day bliss you may have noticed they've improved onto their set of blink-182 covers and added some catchy originals to their set. Go get'em boys!

Next the band Jihad dragged from Laramie dusted off some nostalgic punk rock ALA Mark, only mark probably would have passed on these fellas. They brought up one or two thugs and to their credit stayed the whole night running into each or whatever the hell the punk rock magazines that dictate that shit call it.

proceeding to the Basement show people still stumbling in got a pretty well rounded melodic punk set. Shout out to a still slightly lightheaded Kyle (lead singer) who had just undergone surgery (for what? I Don't know its still surgery which is pretty righteous) hours earlier and made it.

Next, The mighty Dischotomy put on an excellent set of energy and uptemo rock'n'roll. crowed reared its still dizzy head and made its first appearance other than the established standstill (a mind-blowing dance maneuver, but com'on its so ,like, every fucking show with few exceptions.) and actually gyrated in tempo.

on this Momentum the Laymen Terms boys step and proceed to mangle the offerings of our Locals (Ive been there with Napier/ok,Arkham, and its slightly depressing and always awe-inspiring.) Roughly 50 people stayed around (where do the other fools go, portals?,ive always wondered) and got to see the drummer Jameson on one of his more amazing nights, he was drum fucking everyone in attendance, you looked around and saw the head spasms. They unloaded most of their recorded material and threw in 2 covers one being a slightly intoxicated minor threat cover near the end and secretly sent at least a dozen in attendance home to their stereos.

Everyone went home happy if not intoxicated and Laymen Terms, thanks to every one in attendance, made quite a purse to which they'd later spend on their busted shit van and on new windshield wipers some thug shit broke. Overall Cheyenne represented with a pretty good turnout and received an excellent show in trade.

Note: to anybody who sees or hears about anybody(thing) damaging touring bands vehicles, equipment, cloths, whatever... Confront them, give them a good poking. if youre outnumberd Tads around somewhere.
