Doors were at 6pm. The show was supposed to start at 6:30. Here’s the crowd being a little restless because the show didn’t start until 7:30. This was courtesy of Bane jack knifing the van at the end of Pete’s driveway and holding up the backline.
First up was Soul Control. Jim C, Matt Dude and dudes. Real dudes. Good band. Great set.
Before I Rise hit the stage, I decided it was a good time to play with various settings on my camera. After all, if I’m going to get any better, I should probably know what all the little buttons and doo hickeys do.
Black and white.
More black and white.
This time in color.
This time real blurry.
Hey, still blurry.
I Rise had a great set. Kids were moshing, Pauley Edge was singing along, the home town scene was super supportive. Also nice to see Nicky X’d up. You almost wouldn’t know he was straight edge based on his hair. HA!
Ambitions was up next. Same reaction as the night before basically, and pretty much the same set. This time, no Misfits cover though.
Verse hit the stage next. The guitarist had a blow out in his pants, but that didn’t stop him from rocking out. It didn’t even phase Sean.
Drafty
Bane rounded out the night nicely. The crowd was super young, but a lot of the older songs still got a great reaction. Possibly one of the smallest turn outs I’ve seen for Bane in Worcester since 98. This didn’t stop Bane from having a blast. And it definitely didn’t stop the kids from having a blast.
At one point, Raio stole my camera and started taking random pics. I think he does this with every camera he can find. Also, Amanda P felt the urge to do the same thing. She however wanted to take pics of muffin tops and beards. Most of those pics came out super blurry so they got the ax. Here’s what made the cut.

Tour tradition. Stevie would have captured it better.
