What a fun night! 😀 The Regal Inn is a cool little dive bar holding down the Punk Rock scene in Lakewood, with a great vibe, cheap strong drinks and a wobbly stage that supports some of the better bands gigging around the area right now. I was there for a Headnoise / Decry / The Grim gig, and the place was packed and rowdy - I dug it. Decry were great. Haven't seen them in like a zillion years and they were great to see again. If they had a better drummer they would of been fantastic. Farrell is still one of the best frontmen you'll ever see. Dudes pretty captivating. They played Falling, of course... Suburban Death Camp... and Island Paradise, my favorite song by them which I first heard on some Flipside compilation years ago, and The Grim, holy puck. Those guys were sick. The pit was raging full on while I struggled to snap off some pix during their set. They were killing it. The crowd was loving them. Fun stuff. Haven't seen them since they tore up The Dive Bar back in the days. Then Headnoise played and that was fun. I think we played a few new songs from our upcoming EP as an encore, I dunno, but it was a blast playing, that much I remember. And the freshly made doughnuts right after the gig made the long drive home all that much more easier. Bob slept his drunk ass off all the way home, completely worthless as a co-pilot. Oh well. I'm kinda getting used to pulling into Stateline just as the sun rises and hurts my eyes and I don't know if that's a good thing or not yet. Meh. Sometimes it's worth it, like after a gig like tonight, and other times, I just wanna drive into a brick wall at a high rate of speed just to see if I survive it or not... hahahaha Such is the life of a Punk Rock Drummer... it's always something. 😎
