Beef Drain: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

Then they started playing. While they weren’t bad musicians and mostly kept time and stayed in key, the singer didn’t so much sing as yelled in different pitches. They seemed to be proud of the fact that they were playing “all originals”. I couldn’t tell you how many songs I heard but all of them were three chord blues rock and they were all about underage girls. The singer must not have felt like he drove the point home quite enough because between songs he tried to hype the crowd up by saying things like “let’s hear it from the hot fourteen year olds in the audience!”

And then there’s the bizarre matter of the guy in the tight pants who didn’t seem to add any musical value to the band. All he did was stand on stage and clap to the rhythm.

I didn't stick around too much longer, but as I was stuck lining up in the parking lot to leave, there was some sort of commotion, and I saw their van peel out from the makeshift "performer's area" and jump three curbs to exit the park.

The band was booked to perform an hour set, but that was cut short when a nearby nursing home called the police and complained about the noise. Also, the gathered onlookers were becoming further agitated at the band, between the lyrical content of their music and their poor acoustics, so at the forty minute mark the band unceremoniously exited the stage, packed their gear into their borrowed van, and left.

Also, the gathered onlookers were becoming further agitated at the band, between the lyrical content of their music and their poor acoustics and began pelting the performers with corn cobs, empty beer cans, and reportedly a pulled pork sandwich—which is remarkable because the only food vendor at the event was a [[Taco Jabronis|taco stand]] operating out the back of a pickup truck. At roughly the forty minute mark the band unceremoniously exited the stage, packed their gear into their borrowed van, and left in a hurry.

The only other known public performance by Beef Drain was at "some guy's pig roast" as attested by Carl Bird.
