10.28.2007 Fake Shark Real Zombie / Ready.Set.Die / Junior Major
The first thing I notice when I get to the Backstage Lounge is that, the venue itself is a nice place ... and that FSRZ are gonna fuck it up. Cover charge was $12. That's a little pricey for a ~25min set.
Junior Major was iirc, a drummer and a female bassist and guitarist/singer. They were also not really my thing. I can't even remember what (if anything) happend during their set or what I was doing at the time.
Ready.Set.Die was also fronted by a female guitarist. They sound like Tegan and Sara's more straight ahead rock songs.
Since it was supposed to be a halloween show, everyone from FSRZ dressed up. Malcom was Dame Edna, Kevin was a pregnant women with "Kick Me" written in the belly area of his shirt, Louis was Roger Rabbit? and Parker was Thriller era Michael Jackson?
I've come to realize that musically, FSRZ are probably better on album than live. Live, they're really a stripped down version of what they do in studio. Meaning a lot of the samples and even some of the singing parts go out the door. However, realistically, their strength lies in their live show and antics. Which really is a sight to see.
There was a pumpkin that was left near the stage as a prop. Suffice to say, not the greatest idea. It wasn't long before it was destroyed. There was spitting and water thrown, as expected.. Monitors were knocked over, and at the end of the set, one of the audience members got a little excited and kicked over one of the monitors enraging the stage tech/Ready.Set.Die's bassist. Think I heard Parker trying to mollify the situation by saying "It's okay Joey(?) I'll cum in his mouth."
All this and there was another band that went on after FSRZ... but I left after FSRZ. Sorry Stinkmitt..
$10/$12
