| hunterxACPC User Info... | SO FUCKING FUN... I'm speechless... expect videos in the near future - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:14am | ||
| AdoptaPirate User Info... | wasn't able to pay that great attention to the bands, but it was pretty rad (i was flailing my camera/trying to avoid a rusty nail inches away every time I almost fell). photos will be up within a hour or so, i'll post then again. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:15am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I agree, it was incredible. Everyone who was there was there to have a great time. And the small venue made a huge difference... people moving around instead of standing around!!! and the bands brought lots of energy. I was sooo stoked on step it up coming back. and the other bands ruled. god, this show was so much fun. and thanks to andrew up there for coming and taking pictures. he actually has talent and a decent camera, unlike me! but troy and I took some pictures which will show up on the http://xtylerx.tk site... someday. ha. and thanks to all the kids who came!!!! what was it, 40-50 kids? it felt like that. 40-50 kids coming to a barn hidden off sooke road is definetely an accomplishment. everybody stoked for wednesday? - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:52am | ||

| Tambo User Info... | Those were some radtacular pictures Andrew, thanks! I make funny faces at shows. Anyways, let's keep this fucking real. The bands were all sweet, WarBOM was obviously out of practice but who cares. I know I don't. They were sweet. I had a love/hate relationship with Fenton's barn, it was awesome how much energy you can pack into a room that small for pileons and whatnot, but it's hard to be able to get to move... But, I had a wicked time, so thanks to all the bands for coming out and being rad dudes. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 11:18am | ||
| Tyler User Info... |  before the show was cool. troy and I, nick, and elyse all showed up and saw people gradually trickle in. the trampoline action was fun, bbq and ice tea were rad, all the kids who showed up were also rad. as for the bands.. step it up. I was sooo stoked on seeing them. the last time they were here, last summer, was amazing. honestly, back then I was still sort of new to the hardcore scene and this was a band that really sparked more interest in it all for me. I had bought their demo and I've been listening to it for like a year now. they only played a couple old songs but then again it felt like they didn't play long at all. short but oh so sweet. risky business. I hadn't really checked them out much beforehand but the general impression was that everyone was super excited for them. I could see why, the insane crowd energy carried through them and through hero as well, who were also great. war by other means played a little sloppy but whatever, impressive for not practicing in 3 months. and they had fun with it. haha every song... "OK GUYS, LET'S KEEP THIS FUCKING REAL!!!!!!!!!!!" great show, it'd be cool if there was a similar venue closer to downtown, so it would be easier for people. but I live in langford and this was only a 7 minute drive away. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:34pm | ||
| Fenton User Info... | this show was fucking sick we need to get more LA bands out here. brian more shows in the barn - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 12:41pm | ||
| XJAyX User Info... | Damn that show was so fun. We need more venues with shit to jump off. We should bring couches to all the shows, just to jump off them onto the pile-ons. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 1:13pm | ||
| HARi User Info... | Good times. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 2:33pm | ||
| hunterxACPC User Info... | someone bring a stepladder to the fifty fift, hanging from the ceiling is sweet too - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 3:22pm | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | Hanging from the ceiling in Joey's barn = awesome Hanging from the ceiling in the 50-50=no more shows there Last night was hands down the most fun show of 2005...thus far - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 5:39pm | ||

| leslie. User Info... | fuck... this was the most amazing venue ever. It sucks to be out in the boonies but it was good fucking times. - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 6:50pm | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | I said most fun, not most financially viable...which it was most definitely not. ha ha - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 7:27pm | ||
| ebony User Info... | THERE WAS A TRAMPOLINE. okay- that won me over big time. i hadent been on one in years. this show was so much fun, i wish all of our shows were like that. it was packed, in a small place, the energy was great. i thought step it up were through before though? im glad thats not true. i gave the risky bussiness guy some extra money for what i bought, i figure if that was me id appreciate it too right this show gets 5 stars for sure - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 7:47pm | ||
| hunterxACPC User Info... | ebony... I like your new tat - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 8:52pm | ||
| ebony User Info... | thanks hunter, i like it too ;) i had a feeling everyone would be asking me to yank down my shirt so i didnt wear a tshirt haha - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 11:14pm | ||
| Fenton User Info... | step it up and hero guys just left brian lets get more touring bands out here this summer chop chop - Tue, 16 Aug 2005 11:39pm | ||
| Tambo User Info... | chop chop? Fenton's that's an idiotic comment. - Wed, 17 Aug 2005 11:00am | ||
| xDannx User Info... | I love how if one person in the band says they played a bit sloppy or they screw up even once, all of these kids, most of them not even in bands jump on the wagon and continue to 'review' that band as playing sloppy. Its obviously not a big deal, but its kind of annoying. I thought WarBom was one of the most fun of the night, especially Brian's humpty rapping. War By Other Means are always super fun, but I think they showcase their talent in small venues, they seemed to have more energy last night than any time I've seen War By Other Means. Hats off to you. - Wed, 17 Aug 2005 5:20pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... |  please don't take this reply personally. you put the effort into doing a big favour for me in the past, and I would gladly return it because I respect you as a good person. I just feel that you misinterpreted my review above and I was trying to make it clearer. anyway... http://xtylerx.tk my pictures are finally up, if anyone cares. - Thu, 18 Aug 2005 4:59am | ||
| Tambo User Info... | Dann, I think you definately took what I said the wrong way. War By Other Means is in my top 3 favorite local bands, and almost any show they play they're my favorite set. But they messed up a few times, there's no way around it, I'm not saying they weren't my favorite set of the night, that's just the fact of the matter. I am in a band, and I've played a show or two, and I fucked up endlessly, it's definately not as easy as it seems, especially when you haven't practiced for over 3 months. I know everyone in WarBOM and I don't think that any of them would assume I didn't enjoy them. - Thu, 18 Aug 2005 11:07am | ||
| Brian VIHC User Info... | We did play sloppily. What do you expect for a band that never practices? Unfortunately though that was the LAST time you guys will ever see WBOM, since we are now over. So somebody start some new bands! - Thu, 18 Aug 2005 11:33am | ||
| hunterxACPC User Info... | C'mon brian... we need our hardcore kareoke or however that words s spelt karioke? maybe? no? ok - Thu, 18 Aug 2005 1:11pm | ||
