The Last Exit for the Lost presents...

Dave Interviews Nine Round with his Belly

This show was. more or less, the final show for Check Engine. Their bass player Dave has moved to North Carolina, and although they do not rule out a show here and there in the future, this was it as far as them being a regularly active band.

We started the night off with Every Last Breath from Cortland, NY. This was one of the first shows, and they are all rather young. They are also very, very good progressive Metal. Take a look at some pictures and watch below.







Up next, Nine Round from Seneca Falls, these guys won the K-Rockathon in 2010 putting them on a big stage in front of LOTS of people (I forget who the headliners and other bands were). Groove oriented Metal from some very talented guys. Pictures!







Finally, doing two sets, Check Engine. Their first set was their whole new CD, which has yet to be released. The second set was a requested set by fans. They have a sound reminiscent of bands like Helmet and Quicksand, but with the newer material, they have a lot more diversity. They put on a fantastic and fitting performance. Pictures!

This show saw the return to Ithaca of Worm Quartet (pictured above with Joe and Dave of The Last Exit), who hasn't played here in a few years now. He pleased the crowd with his brand of solo comedy synth punk. He is a highly requested artist on the Dr. Demento show, and mostly just plays conventions nowadays. Worm Quartet hails from Rochester, NY. Check out the Pictures.







Next up, from Binghamton, NY, If Man is Five. What we, and they, did not know at the time is that this would be the last show with this lineup. They played one more show after this, with just the girls, acoustic, and broke up. That was in August 2010. In November 2010, Guitarist Brianna and Drummer Matt decided to reform the band and are current trying to complete the lineup. Pictures!









Ithaca locals Mill Bastards were up next. Old School Punk Rock, straight and simple. Pictures!











And finally, headlining the night, from Binghamton, NY, Others. Others have a rather unique style that pulls from Goth, Horror, Metal, and Punk. Enjoy some Pictures.
