Trashin it up at the Trash Bar

hey this is roach from Slam One Down. Just wanted to reflect on last nights show. It was an awesome time as usual. a few of the regulars showed up and rocked the house, but since we were playing in brooklyn, i had a couple of my own close personal friends show up to check us out. it made the night even better. I walked into the show after a day that i was up since 8am running errands and a weekend where i got 4 hours sleep combined. i was dead tired when i got there and i didnt feel like participating in anything until the show started. two Jaeger shots later, my friends showed up and just like popeye i reenergized and went into the fray.

We met a band called savior from long island and these guys were awesome. They shot a promo video and included us. we were our roudy selves as usual. they took the stage and rocked brooklyn to its core. old school metal at its finest. the bassist broke his strap and the guitarist broke a string on the same song. Thats fucking brutal. I jumped, i yelled, i moshed, i was feeling good. One of those natural highs you get when you're doing something you love.

we took the stage and the crowd was already warmed up. We slayed the stage and everyone in that place and left only a few survivors. Technical issues aside, the band was tight, the songs were brutal, J.R. shredded, Scotty head banged, Bobby turned into the American Psycho we all know and love, and I damn near broke a hole in each of my drums. I saw people moshing, people jumping up on stage to sing along, and although i missed the boob shot (yes there was a boob shot), i can always imagine and imagination is the greatest gift of all.

All in all it was a great night. I personally love the Trash bar. I've played there several times with several other bands and its always a guaranteed good time. Last night was no different. Till next time, Cheers.
