"I owe it all to going to concerts when I was younger. Without them, I would not be doing this...they inspired me to do great things and I hope they do the same for you" - Wade Macneil of Black Lungs
Black Lungs opened up for Senses Fail tonight and did not dissapoint. The other thing that sucked was that their set time was only 30 minutes. Senses Fail had a 1 hour set time and they were the only two bands....a show done at 9:30pm - a little weak if you ask me, but a great show nonetheless.
Seeing as how I don't really know who Senses Fail is, Black Lungs were definitely the highlight for me. Me n my buddy seemed to be the only two guys in the place that enjoyed them though. There were a bunch of scene kids there waiting to do their arm n leg dance in the pit - don't ask me what it's called, it bugs me - and they weren't really feeling the folky punk sound of Black Lungs. For one of the tunes, they brought on a trumpeter and a tromboner (haha I said boner) which was sick. I love when bands mix it up with brass instruments. (The Waking Eyes are a great example)
Anyway, back to the arm and leg dancing in the pit. What the fuck is that all about? If someone has an explaination for me, PLEASE let me know. Where I come from (grundge, alt rock, punk rock background) the pit is for moshing. I do not need some kid wailing his arms n legs everywhere when im moshing with fellow moshers. Not only is it annoying, it's dangerous - I do not feel like getting kicked in the shin or slapped in the face - I prefer smashing my body into others as they do the same.
LONG LIVE THE MOSH!
