House Show 06/30/2025

I had forgotten about this show (hell I didn't know who was all playing) until I got a call from Travis (owner of the house) reminding me about it and asking if I would show up to kinda patrol the kids from doing illegal stuff just in case the cops showed up to shut down the show, and surprisingly no cops showed up. I showed up about 4:30 and just kicked it with Travis for a while in the garage until kids and the bands starting showing up.                                                                                                                       The bands played in the living room and for such a small place the bands and the crowd seemed to have a lot of fun.
 DJ KRAZY BITCH 666 and SPIRAL BLAST kicked it off  with some power violence, grind noise core, a 3 piece band consisting of youngsters (well youngsters to me since i was probably twice as old as most of the kids there)

 

Up next were ONLY ONE, I didn't know who there were or even where they were from until recently I found out they were from Bako and they would be a band you would most likely see at 415 BKFD. A little bit hardcore, powerviolence ( they kinda remind me of Man Is The Bastard).                                    Unfortunately I only got a couple songs because I was outside talking to a few people.                               And if anyone has any info on ONLY ONE can you send it to me.   

 

And the next band I guess you could call the local house band since the guitarist Dolly lives there and her dad owns the house GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE some powerviolence, grind, crust, raw punk noise (they remind a lot of SORE THROAT from England) and a little something that Jade (the singer) said that this was gonna be the band's last show ever                                                                       I've seen the band play a few different times and they have to had a revolving lineup except for mainly Luna -drums, Dolly - guitar and Jade - vocals. if this the end for Government Surveillance I hope the best for members next adventure.                                                                                  

I have heard of the next band and I'm sure they've played Bako before at 415 BKFD, so from Fresno was MARTIRIO a mexican hardcore thrash metal band with female vocals. Fucking insane and the kids seemed to love the band, this was my first time seeing them and was blown away.     

All the way from Portland Oregon we had a bunch of youngsters and I mean a couple were youngsters of 15 the bassist and guitarist were only 18 and 19. Hell on their bandcamp page their "See Through You" recording was released in December 2023 so that would make the drummer and singer at 13 1/2 on that recording.                                                                                                                                           The band was tight as hell fast and hella energetic, but the biggest problem thru all the bands sets were the vocals, the p.a. just wasn't loud enough. I like taking video and pictures from different areas and views and sometimes the vocals were a little louder in a different location. You never know what your gonna get with a house show but that's what expected. Travis had a banner of Negative Approach up in the corner of the living room and the singer walked over and pointed to it  and then the band broke into "Ready To Fight". The crowd singing along and the singer/drummer of ONLY ONE  took over for a bit.

Had a blast seeing some new bands and me and Travis talked to the singers (Aggro) dad on and off throughout the night and to find out I was the oldest fucker there (damn I'm old) but it's great seeing shows like this and the youngsters still carrying the hardcore D.I.Y. feeling .Was talking to the members of AGGRO and after playing Bako they would really like to come back and play again.                           Hope I feel good enough and not in a lot of hella pain to continue to go to shows on occassion, I wish a lot more often but that's not always easy to do. I grew up and got into the punk scene in late 83/early 84 in Ventura County better known for Nardcore and ever since then punk and hardcore has always been exciting to me, I've lived in different towns and states and have come across or seen some great shows and bands and to see the punk/hardcore music scene thrive and survive and florish is absolutely great amazing to see new bands keeping it alive.                                                                                                                     Here are some links to the bands different pages so you can check them out yourselves                                  DJ KRAZY BITCH 666 https://www.instagram.com/dj.krazybitch666/                                                                                                                                                                                                                        SPIRAL BLAST https://www.instagram.com/xspiral_blastx/  https://xspiralblastx.bandcamp.com/album/life-adorned-in-obedience-to-substance                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE https://www.instagram.com/government.surveillance/   https://govsurveillance.bandcamp.com/album/desecration-of-the-rule-that-defiles-us-all-raw-demo-25                                MARTIRIO https://www.instagram.com/martiriohc/  https://martiriohc.bandcamp.com/merch?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeRnpMUNzbCn7-6X8hPkzcptiaU6Lchf1CZa8xNRK7cL1vm5M3mEvs24s2P0g_aem_wieKzfex-6iGSL2lB7sqlA                                                                                                                                                                                   AGGRO PDX https://www.instagram.com/aggro_pdx/  https://aggropdx.bandcamp.com/                                                                                                                                                                                                       If anyone has any info or contact like instagram, bandcamp, facebook, etc could you message me with it and I'll add it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Pics of DJ KRAZY BITCH 666 and SPIRAL BLAST (Bakersfield, California)

 Sorry it took so long to post this but still dealing with severe pain and nerve damage along with depression sometimes makes it hard to get things going and finished, I may start something then I got no energy or get the feeling of "why bother doing anything, it don't mean shit anyways". This depression and pain I've been dealing with for quite a few years now and it's getting worse as for my depression its all caused from all my medical bullshit and all the shit the Dr.s have or are putting me through, pumping me of more pills but then really doing nothing to help me get anywhere close to better and S.S.D.I. (social security disability insurance) giving me the fucking run around for 11 years now and I've been fighting them and being denied time and time again and I keep appealing. It's frustrating and aggravating but I somehow keep fighting to keep my head, heart and soul afloat in this sea of shit.    So there maybe time where i post something every few days or maybe every few months because it's hard to tell how I'll be day to day. Hell I need to post every few days because I have so much damn music so maybe beware.
