This show had some problems. Initially, M.A.D. was not on the bill, it was supposed to be Vindicator and Aggressor. Unfortunately, Vindicator lost one of their main members and had to cancel the first few dates of their tour, and since Aggressor was traveling with them, we lost both bands. Mutually Assured Destruction from, I believe, Moravia, were awesome enough to cover one of the slots at short notice. (Pictures)

Next up was Moore from Denver, Colorado. I was thrilled to have these guys come all the way out and perform here in Ithaca. We have been playing them on The Last Exit for the Lost for years now, and their latest CD is just amazing. (Pictures)

And finally, headlining the night, also from Moravia, NY, Angels Beneath Me. This was to be vocalist Chano's last show with the band, but things changed. As of 2011, he is still in the band. (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.

A brutal, heavy show, marking the return to Ithaca of 137. We started with the groove centered Death Metal of Ithaca's Chamber Law, putting on what may be their best performance to date. Followed by Rochester's 137, who have gone through many lineup changes since the last time they performed for us years ago. They are just again starting to do shows and get into the swing of things, sludgy and heavy as ever. Lethal Dose was up next, from Watkins Glen. I had never seen them before, and their demo songs were good. Live, however, they were freakin' awesome. I was completely blown away by their, slightly short, set, but that demo does not do them justice. Go see them live. And finally, Ithaca's own sheer brutality in Thirteen South. And Brutal they were.
