no idea who any of these bands are Consider yourself lucky. I had to sit thru the uber macho spit fest of the band known as the Acacia Strain during the Sounds of the Underground this last year. They suck in my book and I have explained why before to Kevin but will reiterate for anyone else: Their version of heavy is stuck back somewhere in Nu-metal days, as in they tune down, chug some simple rhythms, say the word fuck a lot and try to look really pissed while doing it, OH and dont forget the synchronized drinking of water before "break downs" and the spitting of this water in the air every time, and i mean EVERY TIME, it kicks in. So fuckin' lame, but I guess you need the gimmicks of "water mist" on your side when you have like 3 brocore breakdowns a song. a fuckin song! Save your money if you ask me. This show will suck. And no that was not a mindless "ass tearing", I provided my points, on why I hate the main headliner. I thought DTF had some dumbass fuckerfs int he audience,, this will be even worse, as in people just trying to kill someone and prove their "manliness."

lolz
I know exactly what you mean, I'm not a huge fan of them, but I do dig The Warriors a bit, and Since The Flood. The more we work with Matt Pike, the more of a chance we have to get bands like BANE, CONVERGE, FIRST BLOOD, & stuff like that to Fargo.
There will be non-stop fights during this show though, and I'm not too excited about that.

I am not going to this show because I dont like the bands but believe it or not I am HAPPY to see a show like this come for the exact reason you stated, the more bands like this that come here, the better off future chances of bigger, signed bands that i DO like coming, as in Converge, etc . . .so yeah, good job for the booking, the like the possible implications it will have. ha

I hate that fucking band. i do respect them however because they have been doing it for years and are still going. i cant understand a damn thing their singer is screaming about EVEN after i read the lyrics. the music sounds like someone is having a seizure playing an instrument. their music sucks marks dick. lolz There will be non-stop fights during this show though, and I'm not too excited about that. aww come on chuckles, its always fun watching shirtless meatheads beat the hell out of each other, as long as it stays within their circle of idiots. with any stroke of luck maybe they will all die. when it starts to affect the whole crowd is when it SUCKS.

I won't get into the whole "converge sucks" argument BUT I will say listen to a bands WHOLE repertoire before you make such broad statements as, "you cant understand ANYTHING the singer says." They have songs with some singing and moderate screaming/yelling and it's like listening to someone with a heavy accent, the more you listen to it the easier it is to follow. I recommend newer rather than earlier stuff i you dont like the all out scream of Bannon but yeah, the newer releases, like No Heroes and You Fail Me display a SHIT ton of voices and deep influence, love it. Last Light alone is enough to make me a fan for life, check the song and the lyrics if you havn't so good, you create a piece that powerful with that sincere urgency and conviction in your voice and i will bow down to you and shut up, but in til then, you can all eat a bag of dicks for not liking converge . . .*sarcasm* of course you dont have to like them! TO EACH THEIR OWN.

I love converge's music the guitars are so heavy and loud and the bass is the same, the drums are tight and their recordings since jane doe are really damn good. But I agree I don't know anything that the guys says. I listen to them in waves.
Also I'm not to excited about this show we were going to pass but the xlooking forwardx on got cancelled and I hate to say it but we'll make money on this one, that'll help pay for all the good shows we'll do this summer that have weak turn outs.
We also wanted to do a end of the school year thing to promote all our shows for the summer to kind of help prevent the huge drop off we usually see, and this seems like a good opportunity.

We also wanted to do a end of the school year thing to promote all our shows for the summer to kind of help prevent the huge drop off we usually see, and this seems like a good opportunity. Yeah, we will for sure make money off of it, to help us out this summer with other stuff. But we would book bands like The Warriors and like Since The Flood, so it's not like we are doing this just to make money, This show will be huge and I'm excited about it. Not really a fan of The Acacia Strain at all, but if that can help get more kids to the show, cool. I really just want people to have a good time. ;D

Midnight Suit tours alot, and this is just one of there tour kickoff's. i believe their tour regimen is something like 'drive around the midwest for 30 or so days even if we have to play the same towns over.' also, i noticed that sometimes they come back through fargo on their 'tour,' rockin!

Who cares, at least they are getting out of this town and doing something with their music. I have alot of respect for anyone who can tour as much as they do, especially not having any label support whatsoever. Shit it hard to balance between work, school, and other shit. Just because you don't like their music doesn't mean you have to find ridiculous ways to bash them.
