Terezodu – Media Blitz – No Spectators – The Outsiders – Joe’s Garage – at Dipiazza’s

Tuesday afternoon I clearly remember sitting in photo class and staring at the show flier wishing school would go and move a little faster. I’ve been waiting all school day for this show, with Joe’s Garage, the Outsiders, No Spectators Media Blitz and Terezodu playing I was chopping at the bit to get out of school. I get out of school get all my stuff ready and then I’m off to the show and excited to see all the bands.



So with a small yet anxious Tuesday night crowd Joes Garage is first up. Playing all their crowd favorites, including "kid", "Zombie Attack", "The Eye" and a classic Cramps song "T.V. Set" that everyone young and old seemed to enjoy. With Joe's Garage consistently tight and full of life, it was a great way start the night!

Old school HB punk, The Outsiders are up next. I have seen them once before and they were good but this time they were even better and they blew me away! They opened their set with "Government Cloud" but "Enough's Enough" was the most rockin song of their set. They were defiantly kickin out classic tunes and even throwin in a great "White Riot" cover by The Clash. So The Outsiders, awesome old school local band that I’m excited to see more of in the future.

No Spectators are coming up and its their first local show. I’ve been excited to see these guys for a long time. I heard their demo awhile back and I was blown away, they have a tremendous and diverse hardcore sound that’s refreshing and different than other hardcore bands out there and I couldn’t wait to see these guys live. No Spectators opened their set with "Obsession Depression" that got everyone in the room moving and the band jumpin around and from that point on I knew it was going to be a awesome and energetic set. They played all the songs off their demo and they also played a few covers, a Negative Approach song and a Blitz song that got people pitting and singing along. Personally I was having a blast singing the songs I knew and watching the band and everyone rockin out to every song. My favorite song of their set was "For The Takers", with a somewhat slow and mellow opening, that blasts into a the rest of the song, its just a straight up great hardcore song. they sort of played a short set but Ii can live with that. I really cant wait to see these guys again, ill be counting the days cause they are one of best new local bands I’ve heard in long time. If you haven’t heard them check them out on Myspace!

So with good 'ole Media Blitz up next. You know with them, good times and truly tasteless jokes are always on tap. So after having some fun with the crowd they start in to "Drop Dead" with people singing and pitting it was a good way to start their high energy set. keepin the energy high the whole set even after a little pause for Jason the singer to get a ice cube that was stuck in his pants where the sun don’t shine. The end on a good note with everyone up front sharing the mic during "Get The Fuck Out". They are another one of those bands that I can see as many times as possible and not get bored of them.

Terezodu is Next and last to play. They played their older songs and some news while sporting a new bassist that was full character. They played some of my favorites like "Hitchiker" and "Suppository" but all their songs are good with shredding solos and some brutally heavy riffs. Some pretty vicious pits stemmed from fast paced songs and everyone had fun and were left satisfied yet wanting more. Terezodu was a great way to close out the night.

All and all this was one of the smaller shows, but it was fun times with close friends and i had a blast, I’m sure everyone else who was there would agree with me.
