Biff Boff Barf & the Family Chapter live @ Skylab

This Friday night I took it upon myself to go see Wolf Eyes. I brought my computer along-- I try not to feel too douchey for it. Anyway, I got there and figured I'd just start recording. 

The first band I saw was off to the curtained room with the fire escape. I couldn't really tell for a bit what instruments they were playing. Kind of the same thing happened with this band Face Place. But yeah I heard some drums and guitar and saw a dude croud-surf. This made me wonder if I should just close my eyes and listen like I was doing or get up and actually watch what's going on. I probably should have opted for the latter... it was sort of a hardcore band. But I was mostly cozy. 

Towards the end of this set I remember hearing what sounded like some movie dialogue playing over the music. In my blind state I imagined Kevin Costner talking, which made me think, "Ah. Hardcore and Kevin Costner." 

Around two minutes in there is some curious youth banter. 

I hope this is called Biff Boff Barf and not something else. 

Then played a super drone dude. It was kind of a zoney show but it looked like people got impatient. I was sitting in a chair which probably made it more enjoyable for me. He played a lot with samples that were deeply distorted, big, slow, and delayed. 

Moving out into the front hallway, something called The Family Chapter commenced after a bit of a break. I couldn't remember (or see) much of this one, with the extreme exception of the end, which I was moved to film:

Anyways, this piece of performance seemed to illuminate how fried I was feeling. I took off, pretty tired and hungry and out of it. Didn't stick around for Wolf Eyes. I regret that but only in retrospect so it's whatever.
