Usually, at Five Star Bar, most or all of the band can fit on the smallish stage. The drummer gets wedged into the low-ceilinged drummer sandwich area near the back and the rest of the dudes stand up front and shred accordingly. For this show, the stage was utilized for holding a cute lil’ gigantic wall of amps.
On this night I was only able to catch Bottom Feeder, as I was coming from another gig, but I heard Ladybird were fantastic, and I KNOW Pigeonwing were.
Anyway, Bottom Feeder set up on the ground, their drummer below and in front of the amp wall as opposed to tucked away behind everything. It was taint-tickingly loud in there, but not in an unnecessary way. The low end trundled heavily, carrying everything else on it’s lumbering shoulders, but the drums were very still present, cutting through the sludge with cracks and splashes. And then you have guitars and vocals ripping and tearing on top of it all like feral dumpster cats.
I urge you to consume all the pics, videos and links in a voracious manner! Bottom Feeder rules, thanks Denmark!
