9/21 Southgate, MI

after an odd night in Lansing, mi, we saw our friends in AMERICAN ME were on their tour with CHELSEA GRIN, DR. ACULA, & ATILLA, and it was hitting Southgate, MI which was only an hour plus away from Lansing. We rolled to the venue, The Modern Exchange, as we decided to talk to the promoter and Tony from AM said he’d help with the promoter to try and get us on the bill.

we met the awesome sound guys and hung out til the promoter showed up, and then we talked to him. explained our situation, and voila, we're on the show opening up.

here is the set:

Open Fire! - 9/21/09 Southgate, MI - The Mod X

it went well. we had a lot of fun with a lot kids, as well as meeting up with some friends from Chelsea Grin (who helped us book our Utah show from the No Gods, No Care tour), their merch guy matt who has the first ever open fire tattoo! we made friends with the opening band Accidents from MI. awesome band, check them out! very early misery signals-esque. we also got tight with a couple of the dudes from the death metal band "And Hell Followed With"

the other bands smashed, and we had fun. we even made a little money off merch and the door! we didn’t have anywhere else to go though so we camped out at a Meijer’s.

in the morning we did laundry and chilled, then headed south to Indianapolis.

heres matt's tattoo. thanks brother!
