Angry Samoans at Walter's On Washington April 24th (Houston)

4/26/2009

3 Comments

 
This was a great show. We got in just before 7:00pm, just in time to watch people line up to get in. By the time doors opened at 8:00pm, there was already a crowd bursting through the door. There were free Angry Samoans Set lists being passed out at the Merch booth by none other than "Metal" Mike himself. It certainly built anticipation for the audience to see the set before they ever got on stage.

The X-Pats were the first to play. They delivered a more straight-forward Rock sound but were still a great preparation for the chaos that would ensue

Rats In The Attic had the first(and what appeared to be the most intense) pit of the night. They played with a blistering speed that fit perfectly in a cover of Minor Threat's "Seeing Red" which caused the crowd to flood up on stage to scream out the chorus.

Molotov Compromise was the last band to play before The Angry Samoans and they didn't leave any one disappointed. Their performance had everything a raging pit, masses of people storming the stage, and even a Ska flavored cover Minor Threat's "I Don't Want To Hear It". 

Almost needless to say everyone at Walter's had been effectively pushed, shoved, and beer soaked to the point of being content enough to leave but still excited enough not to do so.

The Angry Samoans left no barriers between them and the audience. They frequently asked the audience to participate in the fun on-stage: First by asking them to Tell Jokes for an introduction, then there is a Dance Contest(yes I said Dance Contest), and finally they have people come on-stage and talk about their dad before they play "My Old Man's A Fatso". Their set list featured a few rare songs, some from all the way back to the days of Vom Like the classic "I'm In Love With Your Mom" and a few covers including "BBC" from the first Austin Powers movie, a sped-up nearly beyond all recognition version of "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" and "Nervous Breakdown" From Black Flag Along with all the classics everyone knows and loves. So What are you waiting for? Go check out some pictures!

all you did was review one band.... there were other bands for ex. Molotov Compromise and Rats in the attic... you obviously have no idea what punk is about. half of us dont even like the big bands because they either have sold out or have egos bigger than all the states combined.

Yeah... I originally wrote a review for all of the bands but weebly kept crashing my web browser every time I added too much text so I posted what i could at the time. I'll repost it(along with pics of them). I understand what you mean and I cant blame you but look at it this way at least I'm not talking about how I'm going to twitter about the new Fall Out Boy album as soon as I get home from Hot Topic...

There. I posted my original review and the rest of the pictures. I didn't leave them out because I don't like them or I thought that they aren't Punk(even though Molotov Compromise IS technically ska). They got left out because of a simple glitch(notice the comment above...). I have to give + .5 stars for actually caring about the smaller bands though.
