Here’s where I screwed up (the first time) yesterday. After Descartes a Kant finished their set, I messaged my friend Matt and made arrangements to meet at the Coors Light stage so we could watch Gel’s set, which is where it (and I) was. Right? RIGHT?!?
No, both were wrong- both the stage I was at, and Gel’s set time. They had initially had Gel playing at 2:55 at the Coors Light stage, but they were moved at 4:15 which conflicted with Biohazard… but that’s not the worst part. I was at the wrong damned stage. Aftershock needs to clearly label these stages for the old folks like me.
So anyway, after much ado I head over to Coors Light and I find Teen Mortgage playing, who I also previewed before the fest and enjoyed and had planned to see. I ended up missing about 10min of the set (I think) while trying to figure out where the hell I was. Poor Matt went to Coors Light, could not find me (Because I didn’t know where the hell I was), and went to another stage. I owe him about 1,000 steps.
Anyway, Teen Mortgage were great. These 2 guys make a LOT of punky sludgy garagey noise. Any band that wears a Discharge truckers cap on stage can’t be all that bad. Also, this can be the audio quality you can expect for the rest of the Aftershock videos I post. Nice and full sounding schoeps audio.
