This didn't suck. The fest.

     I made it to the last half of the second night of No Suck Fest 2012. My first one. I was hoping to catch Mistermeaner's set, but turns out, parking is damn hard to find. But I guess if only you don't know where to look. I've never been to Anna's before. So I didn't know where to look. I must have circled the block about ten times before deciding to park in one of the residential streets on front of someone's house. I don't like parking on front of people's houses. I know I don't like it. I live in Kalihi (not the valley) and the farther uphill you travel, parking becomes scarce. And not everyone has a garage. Anyway, I find parking and about 9:40. I cruise until heading in at about 9:52. 
     Witch Baby (check out their Facebook HERE) begin their set shortly afterwards. Some sweet 90's alternative with a nice pop-rock flare and a bit of attitude in the vocals on a couple select tunes. Nice jams which I could easily get into. I'd like to see them play again sometime.  
     Pimpbot played next. Always a good time when those guys play. They kept it groovy and energetic throughout their set. They played a new song too (two?). It seemed all too quick though. I wish they played Meet You at the Bar. But they did play Roll with the Punches. I absolutely love that song. And I also need to hear CK live again soon. Pimpbot ended their set with Ragga Muffin. 
     The night got even better when The Quintessentials played next. It was the first time I've ever seen them play considering how long I've been listening to The Catalogs and Crawling Chaos. They played songs from their newest album, Realm of the Great Old Ones, including The Devils Henchmen. Good album too. Quite a bit of songs from Viva Los Muertos (The Catalogs). I need to hear Specimen 32 live. I think they have a show coming up this week too. 
     I didn't stay long after that. I stuck around for Toys that Kill's first song and dug out. I was planning on coming out for the third day at...I think it was at Manifest this time. Never been there either. I wanted to check out Night Birds too and pick up the new TTK LP. But couldn't make it to that one either. Oh well. I was just bummed I missed Mistermeaner. Good time though. Enjoyed the $6 tallboy PBR. Here's to next year!
