So I was late getting there because I figured the doors would open at 8:00 like they usually did but tonight’s show opened at 7:00 so I missed the first act The Word Alive out of Phoenix. Sorry guys.

The second band was Eyes Set to Kill from Tempe, AZ (essentially Phoenix, was it Arizona night at the Brewery?). They were really good. Jammin’ songs, good sound and an interesting hook… Eyes Set To Kill was formed by 2 sisters which is something you just don’t see every day in the world of metal. I think March of the Dead is my favorite track off their new CD. For the record,  I’d like to note that Anissa Rodriguez is my new favorite female bass player. Seriously talented and really pretty. I was sort of hoping to talk to them after the show. Anissa walked by and said ‘hi’ and Brandon wandered back and forth a couple of times to the merch table but it was while SEA was playing and trying to have anything resembling a conversation while a band is playing in The Brewery is an exercise in futility.

Next up was In Fear and Faith, they had a really interesting line-up… two full time vocalists. It would have been cool if you could have heard either one of them. For this beginning of the first song I thought they were having mic problems then I realized whoever was running sound just didn’t have it turned up enough. It’s a shame really because from the stuff on myspace they both have really good voices and use the vocals to their advantage. As usual, it’s hard to tell whether that’s the fault of the band or the Brewery.

Sky Eats Airplane closed up the show. They did a passably good job.  They did an exceptionally cool cover of Nookie by Limp Bizkit. It was fucking miserably hot in The Brewery by the time they came on. All things considered it was a really good night. I took a couple of pics with my fly new camera but haven’t pulled them off yet. Today is the first 2009 Downtown Live with Candlebox headlining so I’ll get a bunch of pictures and post them tomorrow. Toodles.
