circle jerks fresno

i done forgotted that i was planning on going to this show. thanks to mike oz @ the beehive for the reminder via post no bills.

and, one of the opening acts, last of the believers, is made up of at least one guy from rise against, a band i really enjoy.

i know steve p is planning on going. anyone else interested in joining us?

UPDATE: it was a good show. mike wise charlie came along, and lefty brown was there, too. and a few others as well. i'm not sure who the first band was, but mike and i showed up midway through their set. they were good, though. next up was last of the believers, who were musically magnificent. their vocals were a little difficult to get, and i blame that on the sound more than anything. really, the vocals for the first three bands were pretty crappy. but for the circle jerks, crisp, clear, intelligible. honestly, i'm always surprised when i go to shows and the music drowns out the vocals. speaking of the circle jerks, they were great. these guys were musically tight, but i imagine you would be after playing together for so long. the only drawback was that the band didn't seem to be aware that the exit has a police curfew of 11. so, their set was cut short. really, i saw the band's set list, and it was a mile long. they could have played @ least another 45 minutes.

so, good times. my ears are still ringing a bit. gots to remember to wear earplugs to more shows.
