I ran into a friend on the street last night who talked me into spontaneously accompanying him to this show. It was all right. I guess I expected something a little more distinctive from Fucked Up-- I know a lot of people that are into them that aren't normally into hardcore. They're on Jade Tree, which isn't really associated with the genre as a label, they're from Canada, and they've got some queer politics in their music, but honestly they were pretty straight ahead. It was pretty hard to understand the vocals anyway, maybe if I had been reading a lyric sheet during the show, I would've had a different impression. Still not that bad, though. Pandamonium is fun and has a few members that I know from way back from bands like the Goochers and Freeze Baby... anyway, tonight should be better-- Radio F'n Birdman!!!
