Dissociative Rhythm Machine, Think Twice, Kontatto, and Dance Machine
So I go to shows all the time and I need to commit to keeping track of them. I went with Troy and about two minutes after we pulled up, we knew it was going to be rough. At the last house show we went to, this group of kids started shit and were just generally assholes. They and a few more came piling out of Charlie's car. The minute they saw Troy, they started shouting stupid shit. Big surprise.
Still, I was very excited for the show and ready to blow off some steam. The first band, Dissociative Rhythm Machine, started off awesome then shit went down. Someone latched onto someone else and they went down. People broke up fights and then were targeted by the instigators. Finally after a few tense songs, they got kicked out. We got a call from Charlie, who was trying to drive them home, that the two biggest assholes kept jumping out of the car. When they tried to start shit directly with him, he made sure they didn't get back in the car. I also stayed inside for the rest of the set which was good if not still tense.
There was a second band but I stayed outside fuming with Josh, Troy, and everyone else.
Think Twice was their usual awesome selves. Things started to loosen up even if reports of the two guys waiting to jump cars and/or people leaving later.
Finally, Kontatto was up. An Italian crust punk band stopping in Knoxville. Nice. I have to say this: epic. Words fail to describe what it was like. So if you get a chance to even just listen to them, jump on it. Afterward, we were buying an LP and whatnot when someone just starts singing Bohemian Rhapsody. I now have seen Italian crustpunks, in their broken English, sing
Bohemian Rhapsody beautifully.
Dance Machine was as Dance Machine does. Awesome.
