Crotch on Fire

I go to shows quite often and I like going to shows so I usually go to about 3 or 4 a week. The show I went to last night is my review for tonight.

This was Crotch on Fire's final show. One member of the band moved to Chicago and the band has decided to dismantle. I don't know why for certain though. Anyway this 5 piece all male band started off their set with a Lisa Frank cover, an all female band that played their last show last at Korova a week before. Grrlz Just Wanna Have Fun.

Starting off with this song gave the show a really light mood with crowd interaction and a song many people knew. The band spoke casually to the crowd, most of the members no doubt the band knew. The singer insisted on telling us what the songs were about, las hijas de chingada did this too. I'm not sure why because the lyrics are incomprehensible. "This one is about skateboarding" he says then "this one is about heroin". I want to write a song about heroin. COF is a screamo grindcore band, Kind of punk//hardcore. They were good, but sounded even better after they borrowed a guitar from Guards. There were technical difficulties and a guitar had to be replaced asap or there would be one less player of the band that night. So Guards' new guitar player, Grayson, graciously offered his.

"Have you ever heard of Finger Print?" a friend asked me. Of course I say no, and of course I look them up. Finger Print was a screamo/punk/hardcore anarchist band from France in the early 90's I think. and an obvious influence. but If you saw COF in the past month or so you probably caught one of their last shows. They claimed to have played their last show last night. Wish them luck with their other band endeavors.
