Now that I finally got the Best Fwends post out there, it’s finally time for the one about one of their friends – another Todd-P-Baltimore-Wham-City-Dan Deacon-Spank-Rock-Punk band that I’ve been getting pretty excited about lately – THE DEATH SET.

This is also my chance to finally bring up the water balloon incident…

Last Friday was a show at Glasslands put on by Bikes In The Kitchen. It was a pretty great line-up, with Pterodactyl, Team Robespierre, Best Fwends, and theDeathset. The show was a sweaty good time (very sweaty, perspiration was condensing on the metal roof and occasionally dripping down on the crowd), until a random tragedy hit right at the start of Deathset‘s set. Some girls thought it would be funny to throw water balloons down on the crowd from the balcony. And it was funny. Until one of them, for whatever possible reason, decided to start throwing them past the band at the back of the stage where all of the amps/speakers/cables/sound equipment was…..[Suckapants on May 28, 2007]

….Meanwhile “Fuck you you fucking fuck” girl decides instead of simply giving me her details it would be a better idea to call the police after first trying to fight me all the time me thinking how ridiculous it actually is that my first fight will be with a girl. Luckily peoples pull her off. So in summary, this girl is not only an imbecile and an idiot, she is also a narc, causing the party to end. The police come and side with me after they hear the story and I tell them I don’t want her to be arrested and they advise me to get an attorney which I don’t have the first clue about and obviously being in a touring band can not afford. [TheDeathSet – June 4, 2007]
