On this Saturday night the place to be in LA was The Vault 350 in Long Beach for the FEAR, Dickies, DI, 45 Grave Cell Block 5 show. We got alot requests to show more crowd shots, slam dancing and general fan fun, so here you go. |
 |
Our friends from Cell Block 5 have been getting added to some really good shows around and this one was no different. They deliver a great bash in the face of Punk rock that is a throw back to the original Punk scene. Their songs "Two Fists" and "Johnny" are some of our favorites. The crowd seems to get a real kick out of trading banter with Daveo that at times comes off as a game of "I know you are but what am I". Funny stuff . |

The ghost of 45 Grave has been appearing with more frequency ...what a great thing. Tonight's appearance brought out Rikk Agnew who has now joined the band, providing some super tight guitar work. His amp did seem to have some sort of an intermittent problem, but the set went on. Dinah Cancer is still the center point of the band and playing all of our favorite songs, like "Concerned Citizens", "45 Grave" and "Evil" to name a few. Bring out the ghosts as often as you like and there will be a crowd of Punks there to see them. |

DI is throwing down some of the most consistent performance in years. With a new album that is set to begin recording shortly, the band played some of the songs that will be recorded, "Voices", "Gutter of Paradise" and "OC's Burning" that were very well received. During their set Lisa, the bass player for 45 Grave and who play bass in DI a few years back, joined Casey for a song (forgot which one). |

As you can see from the photos the crowd was really whipped up during their set. After they were done playing Casey came out from behind the stage curtain to throw a DI skate deck in the crowd. Heading back up stairs we ran into some guys who love the Team Goon website and they insisted on buying us a beer....Thanks guys! |

After that beer and a couple others, hanging out upstairs seemed like a pretty good idea ... keep'em coming. The Dickies were now on and the entire place erupted once again. |
 |
Crowd favs, "Give It Back", "Waterslide", "Paranoid" and "Gigantor" are a few of the songs that Dickies fans expect to hear when they see them and tonight was no different. All the props, the blow up doll and the trade of insults between Stan and Leonard were all part of the fun tonight. |

Okay...lets see, when was the last time we saw FEAR play, well we were supposed to see them play in San Diego after the ASR show almost a year ago and they never got to play due to bottles flying and security guards getting broken up. Lee Ving is still at the front serving up the audience through out the show, perhaps not in classic form like in The Decline movie, yet still enough to still a crowd up. For a band that has been around for more than 20 years, FEAR brings out plenty of the old guard Punk crowd from the 80's all the way to all the new kids that are discovering what a bitchen band FEAR is, who up until tonight had only heard them on CD. |
