Eating Glass Weekend

Yesterday and the day before were the two Eating Glass record release shows for Feed Them To The Vultures. I lucked out and got to go to both. Such a fun weekend.

Friday, I get home from school, and a short time there after I receive a call from Tim saying he's going to the Toronto show that night. I tell him I definitely want to go, but previously Mike had wanted a hair cut, so I go to his house to do that. The only hitch was that we never did that. Upon arriving home, I gather the necessary provisions needed to survive the night. We were on the road sometime around 6 I think. We got to Siesta Nouveaux around 8, and saw the ending of Molested Youth's set. Siesta Nouveaux was pretty cool; it was my first time there, and also my first Toronto show. Next was Blackbirds. I always look forward to seeing them, and apparently I'm the only one, because I tried to mosh but no one joined in. They used up too much power so the lights wouldn't work, and people used their cell phones to light up the band. When they were done, I think it was RAH. I was outside during them, which kinda sucked because I wanted to see them. Next was Crossroads. They were good for what they do. After them were Let Down (Straight Edge). The first band that people mosh'd for. Finally, Eating Glass played. A good set, the new songs are awesome. There was also a Left For Dead cover (Who D'You Know?), and Chris Colohan sang. It was fucking insane. There was also an encore cover of Hollow by Integrity. After the show was done, we hung out for a little bit, then drove home.

Saturday, I didn't really do much but wait for the show to happen. The show was at Spencer's house this time. We get there just before Double Cheeseburger play. They were a lot of fun to watch. Then I think that metal band played. Then Overpower played, some pretty straight up Oi. After them were The Endless Blockade. I think they were better than the last time I saw them. Or maybe I just enjoyed it more. Either way, it was really loud and there was noise. Finally, Eating Glass played again, and it was another fun set.


All in all it was a good weekend. Kevin, Tyler, Brendan, Tim, Woodford and a whole bunch of other people were there. Feed Them To The Vultures sounds 20 times better on vinyl than on the computer or iPod; good thing I bought six copies. If you haven't got it or ordered it, I strongly suggest you do so; I don't think it's brash to say this is one of the best Southern Ontario records to come out in a long while. I also got a Hatred Surge/Endless Blockade split. Hopefully more will come about.
