| date: August 2nd venue: Ojai Womens Club bands: Holier Than Thou, Stop and Think, Whatever It Takes, Carry On, Lifes Halt, Kill Your Idols, Death By Stereo Last time DBS came to Ojai they didn't play because they drummer got sick or something. So I was kind of looking forward to seeing them, because they are getting so so big. Besides that It was a great chance to see KYI, if you missed them the last time they came around, like me. So I was stoked on the show as a whole. I had a hunch that this show would be the most packed show ever at the Ojai Womens Club. I suppose I was correct but there wasn't as many people as I thought. But anyways, enough of me going on. Holier Than Thou was up first, they had played a while back in Ojai, they were okay. Their singer was really crazy and he was going everywhere, it was rad. This time I'm not sure but I think it was a different singer, and if I am correct, their new singer wasn't half as mobil. So I kinda got bored watching them. Also, the singer announced that they had a "no moshing rule" . Thats cool, if that is their thing but I think it is kind of lame.... huh. Beavis circle pitted for every song, that kid is fucking unbelievable. He is like a fucking robot or something. So Stop and Think was up next. They are from Boston Mass. so you have to be thinking good things.... So they aren't really on a tour persay, they just flew over for 3 shows, and I think 5 days. They played five songs I think and one cover. The songs that they played was average mosh hardcore stuff, with the xedgex. Nothing spectacular, but I bought their demo and it is way better on tape then live I think. Good stuff if you are into ten yard fight and in my eyes you should like them. Up next was Whatever It Takes. They played exceptionally well that night. I mean they were amazing, I think they got a good response nothing amazing, but they just sounded...... tight! Whatever It Takes played two new songs if I remember correctly, and they were really good. So be expecting good things in the future from them. Next up was Carry On . They played all of the normal ones, and a new one. The new song is good so I guess their new members are doing fine. Anyways, they got a good moshing reaction. Lifes Halt was up next, and man was I stoked. It had been a while since I had seen them so........ Anyways, I was going to video tape but something happened and I only got like four songs it sucked. But, Lifes Halt was amazing!! And they had a lot of good stuff to say. "Ya they told me how to live my life, and stuff". Haha, I am just kidding. I think the crowd was stoked to see them, because everyone ws giving it up. Up next was Kill Your Idols, I was really excited because laast time they came down and I missed them so I was going to get my moneys worth. They didn't get the reaction I would have expected or the reaction that I would have hoped they would have recieved. But I was stoked, and some other people were so..... The nard busted out a half-ass attempt at a "wall of death". Ha that was weak, anyways good idea. So Death By Stereo was up next!!! Ohh man was I excited. I think DBS played all the good ones......... wait a minute that would be every song haha. I think Efrem[spelling] passed the mic out to every single person inside the room, even if you weren't singing along. Everybody was having a good time cicle pitting, moshing, stagediving, and singing along. It was great, I think DBS got the best response I have ever seen at the Ojai Womens Club. It ruled I had a great time, and i think everyone else did to. |
