Rams Head Live
C U LaTour '08
Maria, Enrique, and I meet at Georg's place and we drove up to Baltimore together in one car. We stopped at the inner harbor for dinner at La Tasca, a great Spanish tapas restaurant. The service was slightly slow, but most of the food was great.
After many many tapas and a couple of pitchers of sangria, we walked to Rams Head Live, where Enrique kept saying that Hemlock was walking in front of us, and stood in line. And still stood in line. The doors opens almost 45 min behind schedule.
Once inside, Georg bought a Ministry shirt and Enrique bought a Meshuggah shirt. The first band was Hemlock. They were new to me, but I enjoyed them. And I have to say Enrique was correct. We did see them on the streets of Baltimore walking in the Inner Harbor area. Guys, next time we will say hi :)
Then Meshuggah came one. Wow they were awesome. I really enjoyed them. Then it was time for Ministry. They were so great. They opened loud and never stopped. They did one set and then took a quick break before coming back and having the lead singer of Fear Factory. It was great. They did two covers as their closing numbers, which kinda disappointed me, since this was a farewell tour, but they were so great!!!
Since there was no midnight curfew, Ministry played until almost 1:30, which means we showed up at Taco Bell at 1:55 for our late night munchies. We barely made it to the drive thru before they closed. Oh it was good...

Jaxx
I meet Mike, Chris, and Karen and we all got into my Jeep and we carpooled up to Springfield, VA. Once we go there we found one of the opening bands was not playing so the door opening time has slide to the right. So we decided to walk across the street and find someplace to eat. We found a texmex restaurant. It was pretty good. I had a veggie omelet.
After watching some hoops, we walked back to Jaxx for the show. The first band was Mercy Forgotten. They were okay. Then came Autumn Offering, which is the band Mike and Chris came to watch. They were very good. I guess the person they knew was no longer with them, but they rocked none the less. Although turnout was low and it felt weird to be in the pit with 5 people.
Then came Bobaflex, which in my opinion were the best. They had catchy tunes and lyrics and I so wished I had bought their CD. Oh well. Soil closed out with a good show. And I think everyone had a good time.
