A rather interesting show. We were running really late cause the girls want to miss the opening acts. So we show up during the middle of "Stick Figure". "Under the Gun" goes and they were ok, they did a cover of Nena's, '99 red balloons'. "Nine Lives" came on and they didn't impress me at all. "Under the Gun" was better.
Then "Catch 22" came on. The audience was really rowdy and keep coming up on stage. It's annoying when you have 7 members in your band on a tiny stage; you don't need extra people on stage. The very drunken, underage audience keep taking the microphones away too. This one very drunk girl kept rubbing her hands all over the face of the lead singer. The band was getting pissed off. The band said something to the audience and they stay off the stage for a little bit.
Towards the end of their set, the band had started a song and then the state police walked in. They told the band to stop playing. The kids started chanting "fuck the police". The guys from Catch 22 say, "guys chill, let's see what the problem is first." Everyone thought it was some routine check, but then the troopers announced that the show was over. And everyone had to leave. Then Lizz got the state trooper to sign Bill's catch 22 7" (which he gave her later.)
Apparently, Seasea's got shutdown for operating without an entertainment license, which was discovered the week before when there was a stabbing there. So Seasea's is closed for good. Oh, well, they put on some good shows at that shithole.
