Every time a good metal show comes around they always hit Georgia or Florida but why not SC?

prolly not enough ppl into that kind of music there.
Thats a rap/country scene right?

Yeah I guess you are right there are wiggers and hicks every where DAMN YOU CONFEDRATE FLAG LOVERS!

hahahaha move up here man, pound for pound the most metal in the country.

What the New England area or where?

heck yesssssssssssssss

Yes, New England is wicked pissed!

Hahahaha.

i'm trying to prepare myself to deal with the same thing-i'm going out to st. louis in the fall for college, and there ain't no where near as much metal out there...

HAHAHA St Louis is all rap!

I mean oh man im sorry.

we played the Southern Slam Fest in SC and the turnout was very bad, lots of good bands on the bill too, most bands travelled 12+ hours to play this without gas money either, but it was fun so fuck it...

when was this?

The Southern Slam Fest (January 15th Charleston, SC): With Fleshgrind, Bodies In The Gears Of The Apparatus, Leukorrhea, Vitality, Lust Of Decay, DominationThrough Impurity, Screaming Afterbirth, Decrypt, Dead For Days, Mutilated, Bound And Gagged, Incinerate, Chaosego and more played....

It was in Charleston! I live in Charleston, it wasnt this year was it?

yes it was...

DAMN! I hate this state word about shows never gets around unless you go downtown like everyday and I don't. We need more street teams out there!

it was promoted by Mark from Pocket Pussy Hash Pipe/ Sikfuk and he thought alot more than 30 people would show.... there were more band members there than people paying at the doors...

where do they do shows there? I heard about a book store that did a Medic show...

I met a guy on a board who lives in St. Louis and plays in a hardcore punk band. So not necessarily. I wouldn't imagine their scene is great though.

Well I was just saying that because there is a lot of rappers that come out of there and so I figured that was their scene over there

hey sven read my post.

I heard South Carolina had a huge punk scene. Is that true?

South Carolina? when did they make up that state. it's bad enough we have to deal with north carolina all the time.

yeah theres a few places that do national acts/local metal shows....but not nearly as many as are around here.

...and for the really important stuff i can always hit up chicago i suppose...

The place bigger metal bands play in MA is the worst club on earth, perhaps in the universe

That is very true all my friends that are in bands are in Punk bands
Skeptics Steve Hit Mike Three Years Later

you know people in a band called skeptics? are they retarded? do they not know there already was/is a huge punk band called skeptix?

On the last tour I did with AC we played in Spartanburg, which sucked, and we played Columbia, which was an awesome show.
This was when all that controversy over the confederate flag on the SC statehouse was happening. We wanted to take band pictures in front of it but it was too high up an wouldn't fit in the shot.

We saw this black guy in columbia driving a pick up truck. The truck was painted like a giant confederate flag. Everything he was wearing, pants, shirt, even his hat and bandana, were completely covered in confederate flags. That guy ruled.

hey sven read my second to last post.

because we are all poor bastards and cant afford the gas money

I've been trying to get an SC show for two months for our tour in July. If you can get us a show, even a fucking basement show where we'll get maybe gas money, let me know and we'll do it. I have the specific date we need and everything.

Check your myspace inbox there, killer.

yeah sven cough up the info here d00d.


bands aren't coming cause we don't know where to go. Let us know, we'll go there.

I know like four or five dudes from SC who have driven up to Greensboro and Raliegh NC on different occasions to see us. We're totally willing to go there.

I'll contact the local places for shows (as I said on myspace) and in reply to the punk ones, who cares let them dream.
