Seeing SDF, one of my favorite current bands, playing at the smallest venue around was a big surprise. The show was arranged at last minute. And it was totally good. Great music and nicest people. The evening was worth staying up half a night and dying at the work next day. It’s a bummer that it wasn’t weekend, would be cool to spend more time with them. The 5th video, a cover of Glue by SSD, features Chris of Death Is Not Glamorous on vocals, good dude! The last two videos are a bit fucked up because I had a problem with changing memory cards, but as I guess nobody cares. I hope that on the next euro tour they will play here again.
The Stubs @ Wrocław, Falanster, 16.06.2012
Another cool show and boring match, which I didn’t actually pay attention to. But the night was great.

Kill Yourself (8/11)
Ace of Spades (Motorhead cover) (9/11)
Rudolf (10/11)

As you can see, at the end of the show some wild football fans appeared. Good time.

Noose (Chicago, IL) + Thug x Life (Poznań, PL) @ Meta, Wrocław, 28.05.2012
Few people showed up but it was a cool show. This time video quality sucks a bit cause there wasn’t enough light at the venue and therefore ISO value was freaking out from time to time. Good time anyway, I love those small shows where you can see hardcore at its finest. On the picture you can see x’ed up hand of my man, Siwy TxL. Good dude!

Fight Them All, Lose The Life @ Meta, Wrocław, 09.05.2012
Another show, another footage. This time it were a bit Clevo-alike straight edge dudes from Sweden and a brand new band from Poznań with some members of Thug x Life. A new venue turned out to be pretty cool.
Fight Them All (Poznań): 1/1 (full set)
Lose The Life (Göteborg, Sweden): 1/11, 2/11, 3/11, 4/11, 5/11, 6/11, 7/11, 8/11, 9/11, 10/11, 11/11
We Are Idols @ Asymmetry Festival, Wrocław, 05.05.2012

That particular show was cool. The festival, as a whole, apparently sucked. Another good reason why it’s better to stick with the DIY scene. I haven’t done any suitable picture from that evening, so here’s the We Are Idols singer, Igor, chilling on some lazy Sunday instead.
But the best part of said performance was obviously that:
Spraynard, Caves @ Falanster, Wrocław, 27.04.2012
Another cool show. Nice people, unpretentious atmosphere and a ton of great melodies. The best way to spend friday evening.

• Ending (14/14)
Our little trip to Prague was worth it. Amazing show. Unbroken is among most important bands in my life. I missed the London show two years ago and now I had a second chance to see them. Probably the last one. On Sunday they’ve played their last, secret show in Prague at 007, but we couldn’t stay there for one more day. Total bummer. After I returned home, I reread Unbroken chapter from the Burning Fight and once again realized how cathartic their music is. These days I needed that kind of experience.
The footage is shaky. It’s probably not a good idea to simultaneously film, raise the other fist and sing along. But don’t mind the flaws and enjoy the band.
life. love. regret.
