Link 80/Longfellow/John Cusack Attack
written by Retard the Pirate
Ok, heres the dealie folks. i'm gonna do some show reviews for ya! these shows are all gonna be outta the detroit area, so i won't do all the local crap, but big bands play mostly the same all over, so ha! few weeks back, i drove my lil ass down to the shelter to see link 80 and longfellow, as well as my friends the john cusack attack, and was both surprised and dissapointed....the crowd, which was tiny, sucked pretty bad, but it was a sunday, so i forgive them for that....the bands, however, played awesome. johncusackattack are locals who did a tour of the midwest and have a cd out (redscare records number one and repressed on forthefunofitrecords number one also). they play indierock/emoish kinda stuff. good fer highschool kids, yadda yadda yadda, you don't care, you don't live there....next up came longfellow. these guys kick ass. the new cd, and so on....which is on kungfu records, is great. the cd is kinda emoish stuff, but they played pretty hardcore live. the singer did all the crazy hardcore stuff on stage. he hung himself off the edge of a large cage while singing which was funny, then he ran through the shelter, then he sat in a trash can...overall, pretty funny stuff...they had the bassist from Link80 come up and do the crazy hardcore screams for a song. next up, link 80. these guys are crazy good live, even without nick on vox. the new singer, his name escapes me, is really good. he even sounds kinda like nick....they played the usual set, with horns and all going crazy and whatnot. the best part was, even though i hate saying it, verbal kint. i actually got people to slam during that song...twas fun...link worked with the crowd the whole time, talking to the 5 of us up front and shoving the mic in our faces....if you ever have a chance to see em, go take it! its well worth it...well, thats it fer now...any of you out in michigan, e-mail me at spikeriot@hotmail.com and tell me what shows yer gonna be at/were at. hell, i mighta even seen ya! peace out homiegfunkdawgs...
