So, besides the shitty parking element, brought along by the Life Is Beautiful BS, the gig @ Triple B's last night was a good time. Bogtrotter's Union sounded okay on the way out as we all made a bee line to Flippin' Good Burgers for some pre-gig grub, all except Matt who was stuck manning the merch booth. Sucks to be you! ha ha We got back to the gig in time to hear Jerk filling the place up with suck. Civilians played pretty good, throwing in a Cock Sparrer cover just for shits and giggles. Everybody dug the shit out of Flatfoot 56, but I just wasn't feeling it. They sounded better live than they do on their records, so I'll give them that. They loved us though, and Matt really, really, REALLY loved them... ha ha ha Guttermouth has probably been playing the same set for the last 25 years now, and it doesn't seem to bother the band or the muscle bound meat heads that come out to see the band play one bit. They just wanna hear 1,2,3.... Slam!, Asshole (their neanderthal theme song), End On 9, Mr. Barbeque (which they played really sloooow), P.C., Bruce Lee vs. The Kiss Army, etc., and that's it. It's a good excuse to get drunk and slam around. Fun. Besides the expected "hits", Guttermouth did play some gems though, songs I thought they wouldn't play, like Party Of 2, Jamie's Petting Zoo, Do The Hustle (opening song), Racetrack (Nice!), Baker's Dozen, and a few others that escape me. They played exactly 1 song from their new release, I've Got It Made, which they prefaced by saying that they knew no one was going to like it, but they were going to play it anyways. Mark and Co. sounded really good on the Triple B sound system. Best in Vegas? Pretty damn close. Guttermouth played stellar and everyone in attendance had a great time. The most fun part was getting out afterwords. Everyone had to wait for everyone to move their car to escape the parking lot behind the venue, delivery truck included, and after watching Tate from Jerk perform the most time wasting, awkward 3 point turn in the history of van driving, the rest of us quickly hightailed it the fuck outta Dodge while the getting was good. My night ended at Blueberry Hill where I blew the last of my cash on breakfast for the crew. Fun night.
