Its weird to think the last time we played here was down the road at Ist Ave with Marilyn Manson and a bunch of local bands. Eight years later we are here again with Trust Company. Blindside have left to do the Linkin Park, so we're bumped up a slot. Their was about 1000 people at the show and we Rocked them the best we know how. Jonny fell over half way thru the set, but i thought it looked pretty cool anyway. There was plenty of metal salutes, clapping and yelling. I also had Josh, bass player from Trust Co on my side helping me with bass change overs. After the gig we rushed to the Merch area and signed tonnes of CD's to new found fans. Also met Mike who played in a band with us at 1st ave all those years ago. He said he's been following us ever since. Good to see that 1995 US tour wasn't all in vain. We found a Japanese restaurant, ate well, trudged thru snow, then drove 10 or so hours to Springfield, MO. Luckily for me i slept thru most of the drive... x karl
