New Years Eve

Went to a warehouse party that Six Six Crush played at. It go to a slow start so a couple of guys did acoustic sets. The first doing a very throaty rendition of Wreck of the Edmond Fitgerald among a couple of more covers. The second guy, who looks like George Harrison on the cover of All Things Must Pass, I'll admit was pretty good. Played about 4 or 5 songs that did actually consist of originals. Next up was his band Bloodshot. The band wasn't that band, but these guys played for what seemed like eternity. For the first act on the bill they played their stoner rock for over an hour. At midnight they could barely get them to stop for the countdown. They were given the minute warning and the guy started playing a song and you know there's no way they had a one minute song. After a few more songs the singer said "ha, have we gone over our scheduled time?" And proceeded to play not just one or two more songs but six more songs.

So thankfully, Six Six Crush went on next. And of course, rocked the place hard. Blew the first guy away with half the set time. The sound was better than I expected and it was a very cool setting to see these guys in. Someone actually made Seth sing into the microphone too, which was nice. So the party was ok but you had to walk to a separate building to use a bathroom with no toilet paper and no light so we didn't stay long after six six crush.
