So, I went to a concert yesterday. A concert for a band called Ewok Kommando. The members of this band are old friends of my friend, Tony. The concert was at St. Andrew's Hall, so Diona, Tony, Paul and I all drove out there and when we were standing outside the building, about to go in, an extremely tall and extremely skinny fellow named Mike came out yelling "TOBON!" (tony's nickname) This exclamation was followed by "Everyone's in this alley getting wasted, come on." So we all politely meander into the alley where there are about 5 guys and 1 girl and lots of broken beer bottles. Two of the guys were fighting and had gotten blood all over each other, but apparently it was a friendly fight.
So, to recap, I randomly found myself in an alley in detroit with a bunch of drunk fighting people I don't know. Yup.
Anyway, it's time for the band to play and apparently that tall skinny fellow from before is the lead singer of this band... well, that is, if you can call what he was doing "singing". 78% of each song was more screaming, the othere 22% was actually singing. The band was a sort of harcore hate mixed with reggae. Kind of like if you mixed Cradle of Filth and Sublime. The best song that the played was a song called Steve the Wookie, throughout the song they made various Star Wars references (ex: These are not the droids we're looking for; I've got the death sentance on twelve planets; etc.). I really enjoyed it. It was crazy but it was fun. I nearly got sucked into the mosh pit though which would've been terrible because well over 3/4 of the guys in the pit were somewhere around 6'3" and 275lbs.
But yeah, that was my yesterday, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Woot.
