The Bronx came on but I can't totally remember what they played at this gig due to the fact on how squashed I was. It was quite mental! The vocalist was intent on eating his mircrophone yet they definitely got the crowd going, which was flooded by punks. They didn't appeal to everyone though.
The crowd kept on going and was restless waiting for The Distillers.
I was quite surprised on how dull their performance was. Brody kept swapping guitars, Tony made a joke...they played mostly songs off 'Sing, Sing Death House'. They finished with 'City Of Angels'.
They didn't do bad but the highlight was at the end when they scraped their guitars on the speakers, trashing the things they had, plectrums going everywhere…
If I saw them again I know it would all be the same but with different songs
