This show ruled, Saint Vitus on a full US tour in 2012, with Weedeater and Sourvein, great idea! Wino was in rare form, looked pretty toasted. Chandler is a madman, so underrated and awesome, unique guitar playing, amazing. The guy has been doing this shit as long as there's been a punk/metal underground in America. Weedeater was fantastic too, hadn't seen them in over a year. Sourvein, as usual, had some new players in tow, but there were some old faces, including Cool Clyde back on drums after his stint with Gates of Slumber, and an old school member Josh Fari on guitar.

The crowd was not big. Lots of folks in my town apprently blew off this show, because the club is not popular and is in the shitty entertainment district, and the show was 'expensive', but Jesus, Saint Vitus hadn't played a local show in this city for 25 years, I find it hard to fathom that people are so determined to be judgmental about the circumstances of shows like this, a legendary band with top notch support in a hometown music club. The musical payoff was so great, probably the best of the four times I've seen Saint Vitus since they returned, I'd really regret it if I blew off this show. DO NOT miss this tour if they come near you!!

Seems like those people care more about the scene and being seen than the music if thats the case.

You got it, tons of people walking around with Vitus patches and tshirts for the last few years, not many of them at the show. Everyone has their own reason I suppose, some settled for having already seen them at Deathfest in May.

In any event, seeing a headline show in a regular club was the ideal, that's the true point.

Funny cause the scene is starting to look like a 'Wino and Dave Chandler" costume contest.

I'm stoked for the LA show, saw them awhile back at the tiny Viper Room and they were great, they were so into it! The bassist singing along really gets the crowd involved.
