January 2005 little local gig for a screamo band called STAND, one of the guitarists of the band had died of cancer so they got together a memorial show, i somehow got on the guest lsit despite not knowing him that well, the out pouring of emotion was so immense, seeing grown guys, all in to Hardcore punk bursting into tears, to see the out pouring of love for the music (he was also the founder of a small record label) was so immense i couldnt believe it and i had tears in my eyes for a good portion of the evening, and when they STAND took the stage, minus one member, and the vocalist just burst out crying i dont think there were too many dry eyes in the house.
when i saw Biffy clyro and the played "all the way down" man, goosebumps all the way down my body
I am especting tomorrow to be special several of my favourite little bands are playing their (for the forseeable future) last shows in Grimsby and STAND are reuniting (as a 4) and i am gonna go fucking nuts for it.
