Night one of the Bull City Metal Fest

OK, first things first, I miscalculated. THIS is my 1,000th post on Mann's World! Now, a quick wrap up of the first night of the Bull City Metal Fest.

I got to the Casbah around 9 to find MAKE nearly done with their set. Apparently the show had been running a little early all night. It was my first trip to the Casbah, and I can say that it's a very nice, fairly spacious club with good sound and an efficient stage set-up (which I guess contributed to things running early). I'm looking forward to seeing Buzzoven and Cough there on Wednesday, and Weedeater and ASG on Feb. 20.

It was my first time seeing Music Hates You, Graves of Valor and Lurch. I liked all three, but I was most into Music Hates You. Lechuza Booking in Chapel Hill books them, and they play here fairly often, but had somehow missed them until now. I'll make sure not to miss them again. See more photos.
