This show was total punk chaos. 3 great bands, intense pits, and lot's more! Just go ahead and click "Read More"! There's no way to shorten the madness that was this show!

Charlie Mancini Consists of 11 people: 3 Guitarists, A horn section, A 74 year old saxophone player, Drums, a Vocalist(Billy Smith), and more. Their songs ranged from Big Boys' "Red/Green" to "Tainted Love". Charlie Mancini is a really strange combination, but it's one that's really fun to see.

Contortion Session played together for the first time in in over 22 years, and it went great. They played an awesome set which included a cover of Bark Hard's "No Will Power" as a tribute. The music was intense, blisteringly fast, and it was mirrored by the pit. Within about two songs the floor was coated with beer, and standing became a near impossible task for anyone close to the stage. Just a few songs later the floor was covered in glass. 

McRad played an almost exclusively Skate-Rock set. It included: "Tom Groholski", "Weakness", "Son", a cover of Bad Brains' "Attitude", and a Jam which included a few sections from Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". They played especially tight and fast since they were warmed-up from earlier. Once the pit reformed, the floor was once again covered in broken glass and beer. The pit got more aggressive as time passed. Eventually a chair started getting thrown around and, the bass amp even got turned off and flipped around by the crowd. Luckily for Mango's McRad ended on a Reggae song, so the damage didn't get any worse.

The guy in black on the left managed to fix the light.
Well, I definitely hope this isn't the last punk show at Mango's... Either way it was still fun. The Pictures tell the story in all it's insanity. Lot's more madness! Go take a look!

The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power. Do you agree?
