History reshits itself

the first band of the bill tonight was Deadender, a new band from Belgium. I missed them though. I arrived during the soundcheck of Midnight souls. did some catching up with my best friend in the meantime. Midnight souls opened their set with Black days, very cool. they basically played a mix of old and new songs. after a few songs, there were some troubles with the mic. while they were fixing that, their vocalist took the time to thank everybody who came to the shows and how cool it was to see people who he'd never met, shout along with the songs. after Midnight souls we went outside again, where we actually stayed until Touché amoré. Lighthouse was up and they were pretty cool from what I've heard. right before Touché amoré I went to take a look at the merch. damn Reflections records had a distro standing. luckily I only had 20 euros, so I bought the ... To the beat of a dead horse 10" (unfortunately not the black/white color-way) and the Hardcore for hardcore 7". then Touché amoré were finally on. they opened with And now it's happening in mine, like on the rest of the tour. after a couple songs though, I think there was a problem with one of the guitars or the amp. I couldn't see it clearly since I was standing at the back of the crowd. it took around 10 minutes, in that time their vocalist announced that they've signed to Deathwish and like Midnight souls, how cool it is to see that many people shout along with their songs. he also complimented the venue, which was pretty awesome. when that was fixed, they finished their set. the rest of the songs came from ... To the beat of a dead horse. they finished with Honest sleep. that was time to release every ounce of energy I had. I ended up on stage, shouting the words directly to the vocalist. cool night.
