Went to a Halloween costume party on the west side on Saturday night and had a great time. The lineup of bands in order was as follows:
Potato Babies (Grand Rapids, MI)
Boss Mustangs (Grand Rapids, MI)
Delilah DeWylde & The Lost Boys (Grand Rapids, MI)
The Concussions (Grand Rapids, MI)
Beast in the Field (Mt. Pleasant, MI)
I arrived too late to catch the Potato Babies, but every other band that I saw tore it up majorly. The Boss Mustangs ended their set with a cover of MC5's 'Kick Out The Jams' that blasted the roof off the place. Delilah DeWylde & The Lost Boys did a fantastic cover montage of tunes from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The Concussions played a fierce set as always in skeleton costumes with black lights on stage. Looked really sweet.
Lastly, Beast In The Field played a blistering and loud set to close the night off. Those guys are nuts. So many speakers and amps for just one guy on guitar and the only other member is on drums. Great stuff, but like I said, bring ear plugs if you ever go to see these guys. This was one of the better shows of the year hands down. One of the coolest parts was the fact that they were recording all of the bands' sets to a vintage analog reel to reel machine. Now to figure out how to get a copy of that...
