(DemiGodRaven wants to spread the word about a free show on the other side of the continent . . .)
I’m going to be completely honest with you guys: I have never been to Baltimore. The closest I have ever gotten to the state of Maryland was when I flew to Georgia to watch my younger brother graduate from basic training. Maybe they’re on the same longitude lines, but that would literally be the only connection I have for travels on the East Coast.
So, I think it’s clear that I am not by any means a leading authority on anything having to do with Baltimore, MD. Outside of The Wire and the recent Ace Ventura-esque events with the local NFL football team (granted, it’s not like the team close to Hayward, CA, where I grew up, did any better), I have zero exposure to how the city is laid out. Thus, if this show actually is taking place in a Baltimore suburb (as when shows are announced for The Boardwalk in Sacramento, when the Boardwalk is actually in Orangevale), please do not jump my shit for it.
Misery Index announced via Facebook a few days back that they would be performing a free show with a group called Bet The Devil over at The Ottobar. The show happens on February 6, 2012, so…next Monday. If you need details there is an event page on Facebook to check out. I’m just trying to spread the word about a free show. Especially a free show where you get to see Misery Index, who put on a fucking great live show. I saw them in October 2010 and rocked out incredibly fucking hard during the whole set and in general had a blast. I have not heard Bet The Devil, so if anybody has and can put forth some impressions about them in the comments, that would be great. Really, help out any fellow East Coast folk who may make the journey to see the show. (more after the jump . . .)
There are some stipulations though: It’s only free if you’re 21 or older (ya know, fer drinkin’!); if you’re 18…it’s $5. Here’s what the guys have to say at the event page. If you need directions, you can grab them via the Facebook link.
“Metal as Fuck Monday returns upstairs to the Ottobar on Monday February 6th with Misery Index and Bet The Devil. 21+(FREE), 18+($5).
Plus after the show, members of both bands will be DJing their favorite metal tunes! Plus kick ass drink specials!”
Sounds like this February would be a great time to live in Maryland! I fkn love MI! one of the best live bands out their in my opinion!! Cant wait till they come back to San Diego!!
In case anybody reads posts three pages back, Misery Index played an awesome show last night, this was their warm up for the “Full of Hate 2012” EU tour supporting Cannibal Corpse and Behemoth that they are leaving for today.
“Bet The Devil” was a core-ish type band that did nothing but bore me.
