cant find a flyer or anything...my internet sleuthing skills are very poor apparently

The First suicide shows at the trumbullplex and at the old miami, was that this year? or last year?

If it was this year, that trumbullplex show was probably the most fun ive ever had at a show...

There have been so many great shows this year. Too many to narrow down for me really. But here are some I can remember right now as being truly great...

In no particular order:
Maryland Deathfest
Captain Cleanoff @ The Rathole (Minneapolis, MN)
Jimmy Lawson's New Year's Day basement show
First show @ Justice Records
Screaming For Change Fest (Bristol, Vermont)
Realicide, Veterans, Xtra Vomit, Cloud Rat @ Mockbee (Cincinnatti, OH)
Shai Hulud @ The Metal Frat
Merkit, Panzram, Yeung, Autarkeia, Xtra Vomit, Cloud Rat @ Nevin's Haus of Muscle (Ft. Myers, FL)

Also I like DHR's mention of that Ottawa Tavern show. What a crazy time. Haha.

Refuge Benefit Show
Shai Hulud @ The Frat
Demf
Danny Brown / Black Milk
Bad Seed / TUI
Jay Z

Also I like DHR's mention of that Ottawa Tavern show. What a crazy time. Haha.

I forgot to add Under Anchor. They were the only two bands I caught that night. I probably should have just referred to it as "Ben Petree @ Ottawa Tavern" because he was in great form.

Show was great, probably the last really great tower show before they moved out.

I had never seen anyone bash their own head on something that hard before that. Also I think William should get an honorable mention for antics at this show as well.

BANE, TUI, Cruel Hand- Static Age
Mammoth Grinder- Frat
Power Trip- Frat
Wilhelm Scream- Frat
Fireworks, Swellers- Stick
This is Hell, From Hell- Garden Bowl
