The majority of readers don't know this, so a quick list FYI regarding
SOUTHERN HEX:
-Its my Black Metal (or Black/Death/Core
|
Me-'playing' guitar last nt |
metal) band, or
- the one I started with a drummer named Nick who isn't in band currently for financial & controlling evil girlfriend reasons
-I play rhythm guitar (it's the easier one, the guitar that plays the chords, basic riffs, and
so forth) &
- am the main 'vocalist' . The term seems more than a little pretentious when we're mainly talking about screaming, yelling, & growling..but, well, 'lead singer' is fucking absurd.
- we've recorded 7 songs so far. All are on
- "Daybreak " on which I
- played drums, keys, and most guitars in addition to doing most of the vocals.
- there are 3 others in SOUTHERN HEX now:
- Sonia Madson (bass, keys/synths, vocals)
- Ed Chain (drums, percussion, various things triggered w pads)
- Jeff Hyde (aka Unrepentant from
AUTUMN REACH & Mathias Eldertarnon (spelling?) from
FUNERAL PATH) playing lead/main guitars and backing vocals.
Anyway, show last night was FUCKING FANTASTIC!! We DID SELL OUT THE VENUE..which, granted, didn't happen until right before our set as last band playing. Also, I admit, a capacity of 200 isn't exactly Madison Square. SO WHAT? It was a KILLER show with us feeding off the crowd's energy, and everyone sweating & raging!!
Also, PLEASE lay off people like the fat dude who accidentally knocked over the bass amp. We've got backup stuff for EXACTLY that reason, and when we push a crowd to go bananas, come dive off the stage, and generally freak-thefuck-out, we KNOW were going to have to deal w stuff like that. This time we only played 1 song w Jeff playing my guitar & were back to good.
I saw some of the treatment the guy got during the coupleinutes we were getting shit back upright etc before we started playing w the 1 guitar. It was UNQUESTIONABLY what I would call BULLYING & that is TOTAL COmPLETE BULLSHIT.
I really DO appreciate people who are so into a band this new that theure truly upset when someone causes an accident that affects their performance. HOWEVER, I REALLY REALLY DO --NOT--APPRECIATE people using our band or the minor hiccup as an excuse to be truly ugly, insulting, and physically intimidate another person. Bullies are COWARDS & SHITBAGS who never seem to have much to say UNLESS they have a crowd at their back.
I understand getting pissed off about stuff like that especially when u pay to be there, but hassling someone until they take off isn't an acceptable response in my book.
