Grand Buffet/Modey Lemon Show in 2002.
--
Insane fucking show. I had only seen either band at house parties beforehand, and not at an actual concert venue and apparently in the beginning I was teh only one who got the memo that when Paul and Phil (Modey) start fucking thrashing you start knocking everyone the fuck over.Most of the people were there to see Sage Francis as he was headlining the tour, but let Grand Buffet rock it out since it is their hometown (and Modey), so my bull rush to the front was quite unexpected and the entire time the Lemon was on I was going absolutely ape shit it was fucking awesome, they rocked so fucking hard and you could actually hear them well for once, I was in heaven.
There was a break in the action before Sage hit the stage, and Phil jumped into the crowd and he was thanking me for rocking out because he wasn't sure how they would play over at a hip-hop show, and that the first round was on him. So we start walking to the bar and we get carded.
Fucking carded.
Okay, he didn't get carded, I got carded.
He looked at the bouncer and went this is my friend Jerome, it's cool.
"No dice."
Didn't you just see me on fucking stage?!
"No dice."
So I told him it was cool, and that I'd catch up with him later as I wanted to see Sagey up in the front anyway.
I've never been a big Francis fan, so it was alrite, I was more so getting my lungs and energy back from the whilrwhind of fury I was consumed with earlier.
Then ... the George W. Bush cut-outs were slowly brought out.
The American flag came up upside down, along with upside down crosses, piles of sand and kiddie pools, hahaha.
Grand Buffet was about to literally attack the stage.
They started tearing it the fuck up, and I was back in prime form, but thankfully this time there were more people willing to at least move around this time and jump up and down, and it was fucking great.
Halfway thru the show, Lord Grunge jumped into the crowd and we were just throwing people around then he goes, "head butt me," and without thinking twice I fucking head butted him, haha. He staggered back and grabbed his head and went, "Jesus fucking christ you got a hard fucking head, get up on my shoulders."
The whole time Mr. Pennyslvania is still going on stage, haha.
So me and Jarrod are chicken-fighting no one, and like the devil's advocate again he goes, "let's start punching people in the fucking face!!!"
Oh yea, by this time everyone is pretty much doing their damndest to get the hell away from us and I'm just fucking clocking people in the back of the head, the face, and he is doing the same thing.
It was fucking mayhem, Modey broke thru and started joining in and then Sage and his entourage hit the stage and we all fucking went up on stage and started throwing cigarettes and bandanas into the crowd who at this point were at a blood frenzy.
It was pure, unadultered chaos and I was drop-kicking one of the cut-offs of Dub-Ya, and giving it the atmoic elbow, hahaha.
Ahhh .... then it was over (the stage antics ensued for like 10 minutes as Trick Pony (?!?! not physically there of course, but fucking hilarious) was blasting).
And we all went to a house party.
Which was surprisngly more relaxing than the concert, haha.
