Johnny I move to Williams Lake for 5 months and come back to a crap scene. What's happened to some of the bands in this town, they've seem to have dropped off the face of the planet. Before I left I heard some great bands (and not so great). I was used to seeing Explosive Rage Disorder,ML7, Within A Vision, Allfather,Armchair Cynics, Dizzy etc.. as well as some new bands such as Crepitus, Brand New Machine,Abandoned By Fate and some others I can't remember that were pretty good..one that opened for WAV and ERD at the Ingy. All instrumental but they kicked ass. What's happend?-no place to play or what! I know this board is filled with punkers so I'm going to get chewed up with this thread but it's the music I like and I miss seeing it live in this damn town. - Sun, 24 Nov 2002 4:56pm

Uhhh pretty much all those bands are still playing shows, just becuse they're not playing every 2nd week dosen't mean they've broken up.

The Armchair Cynics (who you mentioned) are band of the month right now playing a showcase gig this thursday at Steamers I think? - Sun, 24 Nov 2002 7:04pm

Fear not, Johnny! ML7 are alive and well finishing up mixing on the new cd and the video in the next week or two. When that is done, we will be playing more than you can stand. As for the other bands you mentioned, I can't speak for our friends... http://www.meatlockerseven.com

Oh, and Gallows End are very cool! Aaron, you can make out the check to me as usual. - Sun, 24 Nov 2002 8:10pm
P. Jacobsen Allfather is still going strong. We are currently finishing up writing material for our full length. As for shows we are looking to play some shows again early next year. Long live Vctoria metal! - Sun, 24 Nov 2002 8:38pm

Looking at early Feb for some gigs as well.As others have said look at Soundgarden, they've been really good to the local "heavier" bands! - Sun, 24 Nov 2002 10:15pm

they got scared into serious practice "If you want to be a virtuoso then you have to set your sights above me.
You have to go beyond what I'm doing. And that's for you to figure out.
Because if you can do that, then I'm going to be trying to go beyond you." - Mon, 25 Nov 2002 11:11am
