So Malthus played the show I spoke of in my last blog. A Battle of the Bands to determine who would open at the Norva for Darkest Hour and Motorhead.

The bands that showed up were mostly hardcore kids in high school and of the 7 bands that played I'd say 2 of them had any talent (not including us, because well... whether we have talent is debatable, ha!).

Supposedly the first three bands to play were disqualified from winning because they didn't sell any tickets. However, the third band managed to be one of the 3 going to the finals (There were finals? We were never informed of this....). But... to be honest. They were pretty bad ass, and I'm glad they got to go.

The second band also got to go to the finals. Wait... what?

And then the last band, a absolute trainwreck, is going to the finals. Oddly enough... the last band, so we heard, knew the promoter... hmmm.... interesting.

But we played pretty well, sounded tight, had a good time, had some laughs, made a few new fans. And really we're all glad we didn't win, because we didn't want to have to do "finals" battle that we were never informed of and because we're sick and tired of this promoter.

Who we DO love is Guerrilla Productions. They're a national company and are awesome people. If any band you know has an opportunity to work with them, tell them to do it! Especially Emily.

We got one more show next week at some place that SUPPOSEDLY really knows how to rip shit up. So kinda looking forward to that. Then we'll be focusing on recording for a few weeks and writing new material. I'm also looking to MAYBE go out of town this month. Just need time.....
