we took off from St. Paul pretty early, and headed south/east out towards illinois. about half way, we got fucked up by tolls. illinois, fuck your tolls. i hate the one in the narrows bridge, and i hate every toll weve hit so far. nick likes to fuck with the workers, saying weird and/or funny shit. we finally made it into town, and started circling the block, as we werent sure what the venue was. i heard rumors of it being a park/water park, but i didnt really know for sure. we saw a sign with the address and the name "Rainbow Falls". hahaha...a huge park, part of which was being used by like a 12 year old football team. it was awesome, totally reminded me of 7th grade.
we loaded in, and met up with our long running myspace friends and now irl friends CADENCE. tonight was their last show, so it was tight to meet up with them before they called it a day. we hung out a bit with kids out front, some of which in the bands internal devine, in arms, erebus, etc.
erjony played first, and theyre a tech-metalish style similar to old btbam or into the moat. pretty solid. we were up second, and we took a long time to set up cuz during erjony there was only a handful of kids there. also, cadence and in arms said we should have played later, so we took our time. menawhile, kids were filling it up and getting ready. when we finally started, kids went the fuck off. setlist has stayed the same. kids were moshing their fucking brains out. side to side, circle pits, moshing, two stepping. kids felt us hard. we were so stoked. only a couple kids knew the words to songs but thats always a nice feeling. we had a fucking blast playing and kids were super responsive.
we got off stage. internal devine played their last show, and they were pretty fuckin heavy, all rad dudes. nice ass gear too. haha! after them was erebus, who played a heavy recon-esque hardcore. cool dudes, glad to play/hang out with em. then came in arms, who blew us the fuck away. rudy, the vocalist, is an extremely intense, smart and intelligent
