| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2010 7:43pm - ShadowSD ""] Wow, I really need to find a way to resize that flyer, at least for posting it here. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 13,2010 12:56pm - ShadowSD ""] There we go, that's better. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 13,2010 1:41pm - ShadowSD ""] Last year during the intermission of our set we took care of the whole crowd, this year will be no different (except even better quality). It's a CTMetalFest tradition. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 13,2010 1:57pm - RustyPS should be working ""] I wonder if Save the Day is aware of Saves the Day |
| __________________________________ [Aug 13,2010 2:19pm - ShadowSD ""] That's what I asked them when they approached me about opening the show, the guitarist said there was an interesting story to the band name but it ended up being one of those onion on my belt stories in that he never told the end of it. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 13,2010 5:30pm - bigred ""] Fuck Yeah |

| __________________________________ [Aug 15,2010 1:47pm - ShadowSD ""] They're in high school, so I guess they're not as worried about that kind of stuff. They're just doing a quick ten minute set to open the show. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 16,2010 12:27pm - ShadowSD ""] I should also mention that parking at this place is FREE. Usually going to something like this you have to pay a lot for parking and then a lot for food and then a lot for a single beer, here the parking is free, the food is free, and drinks are cheap. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 16,2010 2:26pm - hauptpflucker ""] That's ironic, I unfortunately listened to Saves the Day when I was in high school. Pittsfield MA sucks |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 11:16am - ShadowSD ""] Sheetpan pepperoni pizza will be provided by Mama's Pizza, Ken's Famous Chili with Fries and Cole Slaw will be provided by Murphy's, and hot dogs will be grilled on-site by our drummer. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 12:47pm - Godzilla NLI ""] Is Suicide Dream really the headlining band? Or did you just put your name bigger than all of the other band names because you think you're better than all of them? Even if you wanna put your name on top, at least make it the same SIZE as the other logos. You're not even really metal, it's more like hard, goth-rock. Katahdin rules. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 12:54pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] their headlining because they are putting the whole thing together. and ya they are metal |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 12:56pm - Godzilla NLI ""] You play in Skaphism right? You don't make your logo twice the size of other bands logos when you book shows, do you? |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 1:08pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] its Scaphism. and typically no...but why does it matter? its just flyer. |

| ___________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 1:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] now playing with a full Horn-y section NYUCK NYUCK NYUCK |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 2:03pm - ouchdrummer ""] nice. can i be part of the "Horn-y" section? I can just dance around like a fool. Almost like your own personal "bosstone". |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 2:07pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ha i remember that dude... they just paid him to dance on stage like jackass. what a great job that must have been. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 2:10pm - ouchdrummer ""] seriously. Except, it PROBABLY didn't have a retirement plan... and you gotta think, what would you do for a living after all you had to do for a decade was dance around like a fat idiot? I hate to say it, but that dude probably had a real hard time adjusting to normal life. I hope he killed himself. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 2:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm sure he took up a rewarding career as a cracksmoking degenerate |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 2:16pm - ouchdrummer ""] nice, maybe THEN he killed himself. |

I didn't even make the flyer, don't get sand in your vagina. I don't even have the software to do it, and it was not made by anyone in our band. Feel stupid now? And we are obviously metal, or you have not seen us live, there's as much thrash and power metal in our music as there is gothic metal. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 21,2010 8:40am - ShadowSD ""] Also wanted to point out (because of that other comment) that this is really the last show to accuse support bands not getting a fair shake in comparison to the headliner, since the food is being served at the beginning specifically to get everyone there early so all the bands playing at the beginning have a big crowd, if we really were looking out for only ourselves we'd just have the food right before we played. Instead we're encouraging everyone to get there over four hours before we hit the stage, with the hopes that we can hold most of them there as a headliner for the duration of the night; that's hardly a way to stack the deck in our favor. Also the reason we are headliner is not just because we're putting it on, it's because we are putting a higher demand on ourselves than the other bands in terms of draw, based on our proven ability to do that in the past, an ability that wasn't there until after many years of us paying dues as a band in 2002-2003 where we played almost a hundred smaller shows we didn't headline. It took us a long time and a lot of work to get to where we were headlining on a regular basis. I wouldn't want people to think we just arbitrarily stuck ourselves in there. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 23,2010 9:15pm - ShadowSD ""] The irony is that I saw a ton of boobs the day before yesterday at Ozzfest. Didn't plan on going given so many weak bands but a few friends who were going had chipped in on an extra lawn ticket for me, figured it would be good for promoting CTMetalFest if nothing else (and it was - I sold almost twenty tickets there, handed out a shitload of flyers, and got the OK from Stephen Wayne for WCCC to push it on-air during their Saturday night metal show this week) But yeah, lots of boobies - and the three main acts were so good that I was surprised, each better than the last; I can't believe how good Ozzy's new band is and how Vince Neil and Mick Mars sound better than they have in twenty years. I was sure both Crue and Ozzy would have continued deteriorating live, not to have bounced back like this, it was the last thing I expected. I also think all the shitty metalcore for most of the show is a direct effort to make the bands at the end sound even better in comparison, kind of the same as how only Ozzy's band members and guitar solos got close-ups on the video screen, or how most bands are stuck on the second stage even though the main stage is empty at the time - all unnecessary handicaps considering how good things genuinely sounded for the last few bands successively. At least the place is big enough that you can walk away from and ignore the crap bands, and the unexpected appearance of Kenny from Type O added a lot to the band he filled in for, which would have otherwise been pretty uninteresting. Plus got to meet a ton of cool people. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 24,2010 10:38am - ShadowSD ""] People there were pretty psyched about the idea of $3 beers since the beers that day were $11 dollars, fucking ridiculous. Of course, that's why I just bought some 151 at the packie and drank it throughout the day. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 30,2010 2:33pm - ShadowSD ""] The reason this place is so cool with people smoking is because it's a part of a private property, so you can do it completely in the open. WICKED laid back. This is really the most fun venue we play, and my favorite as far as sound goes. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 31,2010 5:42pm - ShadowSD ""] By the way, I got an answer on the mystery of the first band's name finally, they had NOT heard of Saves The Day when they named their band. I suppose being in high school, it was before their time (although in my case, despite being a lot older, I've never heard a single song by Saves the Day even though I've heard their name) |
| __________________________________ [Sep 1,2010 12:07am - ShadowSD ""] Things are looking good so far, over a hundred twenty five tickets have been sold already and that's not even counting two bands I still have yet to hear back from on their totals. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 3,2010 4:38pm - ShadowSD ""] Windham is in Northeastern CT, about twenty miles south of the MA border and twenty miles west of the RI border, so it's not too bad a ride, hope to see a lot of you out there. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 4,2010 3:26pm - bigred ""] FUCK YEAH leavin in a few |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2010 9:29pm - ShadowSD ""] Wow, what a great time, night just got better and better as it went on. Joints of kindbud everywhere, tons of food, and kick ass metal, thank you to all the bands who played and made this night a success, the final ticket count was close to one-hundred thirty tickets sold. I see now why Engraved has such good word of mouth, they are just a great band, their guitar harmonies sounded especially sick in that place. Shotgun Trust was just INCREDIBLE with their covers of Children of The Sea/Holy Diver and Bark at the Moon, the singer/bassist does the vocals to a tee and their guitarist is Zakk Wylde Part 2. As for the rest of the night, Katahdin was even better than the last time I saw them, and it was good to see Eyes of Wrath and Face First for the first time. Save The Day's singer blew, but their guitarist and drummer have potential considering this was their first show and they canned the singer the next day, so I'm confident they can improve with time, they're only in ninth or tenth grade. Overall just an awesome night, and I can't wait until we play this place again on October 9. |
